Does anybody know of a place that grill their chicken Mexican style, like the West Coast restaurant El Pollo Loco? You could order a whole, half or slice chicken with some side Mexican dishes. Looks like they started to invade the East Coast, well at least in Connecticut

I used to get their Ultimate Polo Chicken Bowl, yum! yum!

I haven't seen any chains like El Pollo Loco since I moved back to NC from SoCal a few years ago. The closest thing I've found is Mami Nora's, which is Peruvian and definitely more authentic than El Pollo.

Agree! You can order 1/4, 1/2 or a whole chicken combo plus 2 sides, which are all yummy. The place is packed at lunch and dinner in Raleigh.

Tropical Pickens Chicken in Wake Forest is similar-ish.

If this is the place on Wake Forest (or is it Capital?) that used to be the Oak City Diner, then I totally agree!

To sort of piggy back on this, are there any places that make their own tortillas? I miss that.
