“First stop, the taco shop when your boy is home.”
Great American and San Diego Poet Ryan Anthony
El Pollo Grill in Lemon Grove, San Diego absolutely delivered on flavor! I ordered the surf and turf burrito and subbed the carne for pollo—pure fire! The chicken was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and paired beautifully with the shrimp. Every bite was packed with bold, satisfying flavor, and honestly, it was everything I’ve ever wanted in a burrito. The tortilla was warm and toasty, the fillings were generous, and the balance of surf and turf was perfection. This spot is an absolute gem for burrito lovers. If you’re in the area—go. Immediately. El Pollo Grill is burrito heaven!
Let’s talk about the Sy Mikey Fries—hands down my favorite. They were absolutely stacked with carne asada, pollo asado, chorizo, shrimp, bacon, jack and cheddar cheese, rice, guacamole, and sour cream. Then I topped it off with the Beatriz Orange Extra Hot Sauce, and let me tell you… it was the bee’s knees. Smoky, bold, and packed with just the right amount of heat to keep you coming back for more.
The sauces here are on another level. The green sauce paired perfectly with the bean and cheese burrito—it added a bright, spicy kick that elevated every bite. The red sauce, a little more mild but still super flavorful, was a perfect match for the pollo quesadilla, complementing the juicy grilled chicken without overpowering it.
Every dish was loaded with flavor. The carne asada in the California burrito was tender and rich, the bean and cheese burrito might be one of my absolute favorites in East County, and the chicken quesadilla? To. Die. For.
Everything was hot, fresh, and made with care—and the staff was friendly and welcoming. If you’re anywhere near Lemon Grove and craving something bold, satisfying, and full of flavor, El Pollo Grill is where it’s at.
Food came out sooner than verbally told. Place was busy still at 730 on a Saturday. Maybe it was a 10 minute wait. Salsa were pretty good. Some had some heat and if I were a local I’d be coming back to try out their menu some more.
Place was clean and parking was easy too. Service was good too.
My only complaint really was that my carne asada meat was cold. Not partially warm but like cold. It was well seasoned and I did get a heaping but oddly cold.
