The best. Period. For a healthy option, try the chicken salad. The Flying Burritos are so full of flavor, you're gonna want to slap your mama. The salsas at the salsa bar are on point. This place is at the top of my regular Goleta rotation!

Great spot for some lunch on break. I always get the rib meat burrito with an extra rib on the side. The burrito comes with rib meat, beans, rice, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo and grilled onions. No matter what I get I've never been disappointed

Wow! I dig beef ribs. Who would have thought that a place called Pollofino would have such tasty ribs? I didn't and was blown away not only by the ribs but also the chicken. I don't know their secret but the flavors and juiciness is off the hook! My wife and I got the chicken salad and no. 3 combo (quarter chicken, rib, rice and beans) plus two drinks for $35. That's a pretty dang good deal for quality food. We'll be coming back.

Good spot for juicy chicken. I feel like with all the chicken I consume, I should start sprouting feathers. But, thank God he created me not to evolve and I'll keep this body no matter how much chicken I eat. Perfectly charbroiled with a hint of what tasted like bbq sauce. Their rice was delicious, didn't try the beans. Overall, pretty good spot.

Friendly place, not cheap but in this case you get what you pay for. This ain't a fast food place. Kind of reminds me of SB Chicken Ranch, but with a larger menu selection. I ordered Combo 1, which was one quarter bird and one quarter tri tip with rice and beans. The chicken was very good, but the tri tip was just okay. I do want to try the ribs next time.

Love this place! Chicken is amazing. There is a wonderful flavor and sabor with the chicken. Best chicken in town. The salsas and pico de gallo are so good. Great amount of heat and flavor. Tried the ribs tonight for first time. They are beef ribs with a savory rub, not a bbq sauce southern style rib, but still really good. Tasty tasty!! I will use those bones for my beef bone broth. Overall great place to get a burrito, have a beer while you wait and watch some futbol!

The restaurant is very straight forward. Very modest appearance, a counter to order, several tables to dine in. There is no pretentiousness to this place at all. Worth checking them out. The cashier was talking to another customer that was at their table when we came up, they looked like a regular. Regardless, the cashier was quick to acknowledge us and help us with our order. Good guy over all that I felt make my first visit a pleasant one. I felt the portions were fair, a touch on the more expensive side for the portions and how good I felt the food was, but not unreasonable. Ordered a full rack of ribs and 2 lbs of tri-tip. This was to feed 4 adults and a toddler. We received a good amount of rice and beans along with tortillas. It was the right amount of food for the amount of people. Again, price felt a little on the steep side of good value, but I am used to Santa Ana/Anaheim/LA prices for this type of food. Would I come back? I wouldn't be opposed if I was already in Goleta. For this price point, it would put it as a comparable to Buster's BBQ in Ventura, which I would prefer.

This spot is my go to when I'm in the area. The nachos are delicious! I can tell the beans are homemade and they totally remind me of how my great grandmother used to make hers. On my latest visit I tried their flying burrito with charred steak. It was filled with rice, beans, cheese, and plenty of meat! Usually burritos lack meat but not this one. I've also had their chicken quesadilla but It wasn't as good. I was expecting the chicken to have that charred flavor but it was pretty bland to me. I would order the steak instead next time. The salsas are delicious! If you want a spicy salsa then be sure to ask for it. They only give you the milder ones unless you specifically ask for hotter salsa. There is limited seating inside and a few tables outside. Customer service here is quick and to the point. Overall a good spot to pick up some quick and delicious food!
