Description

There are only two things on the menu at this hole-in-the-wall Tempe Mexican joint: hot chicken and beef. Not only are your dining options supremely limited, but they’re supremo delicioso as well. And, if you ask us, there’s only one way to enjoy it: the Combo Platter. Packed with half a roasted chicken, a huge mound of carne asada, plenty of tortillas, and tasty sides like pinto beans and pickled purple onions, the platter has everything you need to make some DIY tacos and burritos. We especially can’t get enough of the electric red pollo asado, which gets its bright color from achiote paste and its smoky char from a quick stint on the grill. In fact, we wouldn’t blame you if you walked away with nothing but a whole barbecue chicken ($11.49). Sure, it might be enough to share with a friend or two, but once you get a taste of the juicy meat, you will banish the idea from your mind forever and eventually drift into a peaceful food coma.

  • 2011 | Best Pollo Asado

    At El Pollo Supremo, there are only two things on the menu: meat and more meat. You can choose between the standard carne asada or our favorite, the electric red pollo asado. This odd take on traditional grilled chicken gets its neon red color courtesy of achiote paste, and its smoky char from a quick stint on the grill. The pollo asado at El Pollo Supremo is served with a soupy pile of pintos, pickled purple onions, smooth salsa, and your choice of corn or flour tortillas. Whose pollo asado... More »
