"We’ve found the perfect go-to for a quick, affordable lunch in EAV—Pollo Primo, which continuously churns out hella seasoned chicken plates, hella fast. It’s pretty simple: order a quarter bird, half a bird, or a whole bird (aye). And it’s not an exaggeration—when you order the whole bird, you get an entire chicken. Each meal comes with tasty rice, beans, tortilla, and salsas. Their lunch special rotates every week but usually features some type of chicken dish, a few sides, and a drink for around $15. Make sure to order the churros since their sugary, cinnamon goodness is the perfect cap to your meal. Their patio is a pleasant place to relax on your lunch break, just know that when the weather is nice, you won’t be the only one there." - juli horsford
"Sinaloan-style chicken restaurant Pollo Primo, from the team behind Supremo Taco, offers a quarter-sized chicken meal for $12, which comes with sides of fresh tortillas, rice, and beans. Add an agua fresca or horchata for $3 or a can of Modelo beer for $5. For $35, a family meal includes a whole roasted bird with the aforementioned sides." - Eater Staff
"Sinaloan-style chicken restaurant Pollo Primo, owned by chef Duane Kulers of Supremo Taco, took over the former Bento Mac Hibachi Box Wings and Sushi space in East Atlanta in 2022. The straight-forward menu here features quarter, half, and whole roast birds marinated in morita chile, citrus, and a selection of spices served with fresh tortillas and paired with sides like rice and beans, street corn, chicken soup, and churros. Meals come in individual and family-sized portions. Look for aguas frescas and horchata, as well as margaritas and beer on the drinks menu." - Eater Staff
"Chef Duane Kulers of Supremo Taco transformed the former Bento Mac Hibachi Box Wings and Sushi space in East Atlanta into Sinaloan-style chicken restaurant Pollo Supremo. And it includes a large deck out front, most of which is covered. Expect quarter, half, and whole roast birds marinated in morita chile, citrus, and a selection of spices on the menu, served with fresh tortillas and sides like rice and beans, street corn, chicken soup, and churros. Look for aguas frescas and horchata as well as margaritas and beer on the drinks menu." - Beth McKibben
"The beverage move at this Sinaloan-style chicken restaurant in East Atlanta is the frozen margarita with a splash of hibiscus agua fresca on a hot day." - Eater Staff
