This place is delightfully amazing. Every bite was cooked to perfection and the service was excellent. The owner himself came out to make sure everything was great with my meal. Best CB I Ken I’ve had by far. Had to stop eating just so I can do a review to let everyone know how delicious this meal was. Great place for business outing, date night or family dinner gatherings. Definitely my go to spot

I had the opportunity to eat at Pollo Rico and I was truly delighted with the variety of flavors and menu options. Everything I tasted was delicious. The charcoal-grilled chicken had an exquisite flavor, the empanadas and stuffed potatoes were super delicious, and I also loved the beans and rice—in short, everything! The service was outstanding, very respectful and kind, and they were attentive to everything we needed. The atmosphere was clean and pleasant, and I enjoyed the great music selection they played throughout. I plan to return many more times, and I highly recommend this restaurant.

4/5 for the asada sandwich. Bread to meat ratio was a bit off. I wish it had more asada than bread. Taste wise it was good.

SO GOOD!
El Pollo Riko / Ay Papa Que Rico did not disappoint. The portions are huge, the food is packed with flavor, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere made me feel like I was in Cuba—such a great vibe.
I tried the papas rellenas and wow… I was expecting something small, but they were BIG, hearty, and extremely satisfying. One of those meals where you’re happy and full when you leave.
If you’re looking for flavorful food, generous portions, and a place that feels authentic, this spot is a must. Highly recommend!

Update(12/28/2024) The owner Joe and his son, reached out to me to try to make things right, he asked me to come into the restaurant and give it another try. The service was impeccable, food was completely above and beyond expectations, I will definitely recommend Riko’s to everyone. I will upload the photos which do not even do justice of the quality of the food.
12/27/2024 First time coming here. Ordered something very simple off the menu,. A cheese quesadilla and a burger. Asked for the burger to be done medium well but it was just not. I think they were in a rush to close.
Disappointed.

Ive tried the half chicken. The burger. All 3 empenadas and the chicken burrito. Sorry no pictures it disappeared instantly their green salsa is stupid tasty. The portions are very generous, fresh and delicious. Love coming here. Give it a go. Its what el pollo loco is trying to be but operated by a family. . 6/5 ⭐️

Came here for the first time with my family and absolutely loved it! We ordered the family meal which comes with 2 whole chickens, 2 sides of beans, 2 sides of rice, tortillas and salsas. The chicken itself was very delicious, juicy, and tender. My dad is usually picky about his chicken, but he enjoyed it as well.
The restaurant was very clean, and the music contributed to a very nice calm atmosphere.
We’ll be visiting again in the future for sure!

Review of El Pollo Rico – Bakersfield, ca
I just visited El Pollo Rico for the first time and ordered a chicken burrito and a chicken empanada. While I’ll say the flavor of the burrito was actually pretty good, the presentation and quality of the wrap were seriously disappointing.
As soon as I unwrapped the burrito, half the tortilla ripped off at the top. Then as I started eating, the bottom half split open, and the whole thing just began to fall apart. I barely got a few bites in before it turned into a messy situation. For a first impression, that’s not great.
I spent around $20 total, and while I understand food costs are rising, I expected better structural integrity for a main item like a burrito. When you’re paying that much, you expect to be able to actually eat your food without it collapsing.
The empanada was fine, but overall, this experience didn’t leave me eager to return. They really need to improve how they wrap and present their food—because taste alone isn’t enough when the meal is falling apart in your hands.
Hoping they tighten things up, because they clearly have good flavor. Just need to match that with quality control.
