Los Pollitos II

Decent (not great) Food, Service Generally Poor
3 Star Rating: Average

Because of varying tastes and experience with Mexican restaurants and food, reviews for Mexican places are notoriously diverse. Los Pollitos has decent food that leans toward "authentic." Assuming it's a good day at Los Pollitos and you're used to the "swamp muck" variety of Mexican food, which is the only type many Americans know, you'll probably really like it. If they are having a bad day and you're used to Bonita and the taco places in Sunset Park and Jackson Heights, you'll be disappointed. As I've implied, Los Pollitos has it's good and bad days, although the service is usually poor. I like the tacos, which are usually good and reasonably priced and I usually have them delivered (rarely a hitch with delivery) or pick up there, which can be a hassle because the staff is very poorly trained and shouldn't be in the customer service business. What's kept me from ordering lately is their health rating, which you can find online at nyc.gov. Bottom line: Don't expect too much in either food or service.

Editor's Review

An exceptional neighborhood Mexican spot that deserves more than a neighborhood following.  See the full editorial review.

When the waiter recommends the flan, trust him--he made it himself, from his mother's recipe.
