Very authentic flavors. The tacos used hand made tortillas. Good prices and portions.

The food was delicious. I was there with my older sister and my brother. Everyone enjoyed the food and my sister is picky. Traditional local Mexican food. When we first arrived there were several older white and Mexican people having lunch and they were from all walks of life. Good service and as far as I could see it was clean. If I am in Dallas again I will go back for lunch. My sister and brother went back for lunch 2 weeks later. It’s really good food.

I tried each flavor of taco, and the meat was fresh and flavorful. The rice and beans were also good. I had a steak torta, which was very tasty, and it came with fries. I’ll definitely be back. Great Mexican food! Service was good and prompt.

First time trying pollo alegre, such a wonderful staff, and great home cooked food. Got the 3 taco plate with beef fajita and such a great price for all the amount of food. Highly recommend and will be coming back again.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff provided excellent service—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The menudo soup was incredible: rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. You can tell this place takes pride in their food and hospitality. I’ll definitely be back!

This is the best Mexican food in the Plano, McKinney, Frisco, North Dallas area. I search for good Mexican food. Nothing I’ve found so far compares to this place. I’ve given other places 4 stars. But in comparison, they don’t deserve 4 stars. This place is that much better. I’m going to do a different point system from this point forward.

Food:
The salsa is excellent. It had decent kick.
They had the cheap Tecate beer that is very nostalgic to me. Glorias did not have it.
The steak tacos are without a doubt the best in a 25 mile radius, maybe farther.
The beans and rice were above average; but maybe the overall experience was so good I imagined that the beans and rice were better than they were. Either way, I liked their beans and rice more than any other Mexican restaurant in the area.
I couldn’t knock them for many things.

This is the first time I’m ever doing this. I’m going to do a different point system that will allot me to more accurately judge food. I’m giving El Pollo Alegre 8.9 out of 10 points for Mexican food. Which is extremely high.
Valentines day weekend we tried Gloria’s which is down the road on 380. While they had decent Tamales, it was overall average at best. I gave them 3 stars. After eating this, they deserve maybe 2 stars. El Pollo Alegre is on a different level when it comes to the food and a better price.
In comparison, I will give Gloria’s a 5.7.

Got the mix fajitas for two and they loaded it up. The beef was excellent, they gave big shrimp and lots of it, and the chicken was on point. And, it wasn’t just a ton of bell pepper and onion. It was well proportioned. And, it was $30!!!! So good. Definitely recommend.

I went for breakfast and tried the chilaquiles. They came with one egg to many (three), refried beans, and potatoes. The highlight were the potatoes. Beans were good. But the chilaquiles were extremely hot, even for my used-to-very-spicy-food palate. Almost to the point of inedible. Service was fast and attentive.
Although chilaquiles are a no go, I may try other breakfast items in the future.

Restaurant overall was 4/5 stars.
Staff was friendly. Place is clean.
I’ve been on the hunt for a good Carne Asada.
They have a decent plate.
They didn’t ask how I wanted it cooked. That’s normally a red flag but I was willing to give it a try.
Opened up my to-go and it did not disappoint.
The Carne Asada was a solid 5/10.
Had good flavor and plenty of onions/roasted jalapeño..
I will definitely be coming back.
