A few weeks into this new chapter, and we couldn’t be prouder of this next era of El Pollote.

If you haven’t visited us yet, we’d love to welcome you. Open for bookings and walk-ins.

Closing for a refurb hasn’t been an easy decision BUT instead of stepping back, we’re stepping forward. This closure isn’t a pause, it’s a commitment. A commitment to deliver something new, something even better.
We’ll be back very soon - keep your eyes peeled for our reservations reopening.

Consider this, fellow chicken lovers, a little menu inspiration… the Beef Dripping Wings 🌶️
They’ve been holding it down on the Carnaby menu since day one and even made their way to this year, still right where they belong, still fresh and still HOT and yes, we really mean it

What’s your dip of choice? ❤️🔥
Feeling brave enough for the heat of our Buffanero, or leaning towards that creamy Queso Fresco vibe? Maybe you’re all about the tang with our classic Guava Glaze and yes, you can order extra of the good stuff. Or you might just be in the mood for something sweet with a little Dulce de Leche moment
