If you’ve been wondering what to order next time you’re in, consider this your sign.
Our fried chicken wrap has become a familiar favourite, and it’s not hard to see why. From the first layer to the last fold, every detail comes together to make something simple feel that little bit more special.
Some things speak for themselves. This is one of them.
Found it at our Leicester Square Market stall . 🍗🔥

That sweet and spicy combo just hits different.
Our boneless fried chicken comes coated in sweet guava glaze, with habanero mayo on the side to bring a little heat.
One of your favourites for a reason. When are you coming back for more?

A little bit of everything from our evenings at El Pollote. Food coming out of the kitchen, drinks on the table, people catching up, and plenty of chicken going around.
Just the way we like it.

The best part starts on the grill. Smoky edges, juicy chicken, a little sweetness from the red pepper and freshness from the coriander. Simple flavours, layered properly.
