The Pollo Riko concept started for the Villamil family as owners of a small Colombian restaurant in southwest Houston in the early 90's named La Herradura (the Horseshoe). Coming from Colombia to the states with the American dream on the for front. The Villamil family made their journey to New York then moving to Houston.
Pollo Riko's mission is to mimic the experience of dinning at a restaurant back in Colombia. Charcoal chicken rotisserie over and open flame with its flamboyant oven being the attraction as Houstonian's from different parts of the world make their ways thru the doors. simply prepared homestyle dishes highlight the flavors, ingredients served family-style; or individuals creating their own experience with the different side dishes that culminate the menu at hand.
"Food Fast" is our goal serving our devoted and loyal clientele quality dishes at a reasonable price with time to spare and flavors to savor as they enjoy their experience.
WHY CASH ONLY?
Since 1992 our focus has been to bring quality home-style dishes at an affordable price. Our signature dishes, prompt service and continual consistency in experience has been one of our staples in our day to day operations, although we understand the frustration some may find by our Cash only approach is only because we are sensitive to raise our prices to All patrons to compensate for the charges brought by the acceptance of credit/debit cards.
We are diligently working on enhancing our payment options so that everyone's needs and experience is one of fulfillment and satisfaction.
