If you're visiting Pine Island, you'll definitely want to get a bite to eat at El Pollo Rico. They have everything from tacos to fried cheese. I got their fried green tomatoes and grilled chicken sandwich. My grandmother is from the deep South and the owners tomatoes one-upped gramma Betty's! My chicken was grilled to perfection. It looked like it tasted, amazing! The wait staff is attentive and friendly. I would HIGHLY recommend El Pollo Rico for a casual date night or for the whole family!

Great place. We look forward to going back again and again. Want to try everything on the menu, lol. Tuna poke and fried green tomatoes were superb 👌. Clam chowder soup was great, ordered a cup and it was a bowl size. Our table, 6 people, had taco salad, mojo pork dinner, Cuban sandwich, chixnwaffles, and fish tacos and all agreed that they were all delicious and generous servings. We are telling all our friends they need to try this place.

If you find yourself heading to Pine Island, this is a Must Stop place. Looks small and humble, but the food is wonderful and many offerings are quite unique. Even my Vegetarian wife can find options to her liking. No small feat!

Roach motel! Saw roaches run across the counter between kitchen & bar while servicing their computers... I was completely shocked when they acted as if this was totally normal! Warned all my friends & family to stay away, public should be warned too! I likely would have kept my mouth shut except Mike this younger sibling stiffed me hundreds of dollars of technical services and hours of my time. It's no surprise his older siblings forcibly removed him from being involved in their successful restaurant business because is incompetent at best. This place should be shut down by health and safety, if they come in before customers are there and the noise/hustle bustle scares the roaches under the cabinets they will be appalled.

WOW just WOW 😲! Great people, atmosphere and the food WOW! We feasted on the fried pickles, fresh a little spicy and so good. Then we ordered the green monster burger and a Cuban sandwich both are worth the trip alone but we finished with key lime pie and it comes with real meringue and whipped cream. Like I said WOW! Oh and bring extra appetite.

The name suggests that it's a Mexican restaurant but it's so much more. I think that they should adopt a different name to reflect their diversity. (I don't think that they are marketing themselves very well.)They have an extensive menu and it's all just wonderful!! The food is delicious, the service is personal and the prices are so reasonable. Big glass of wine for 5 dollars and many beers on tap.

As always wonderful food. The gyros today was fabulous, of course paired with the incredible homemade mac and cheese. Spectacular service by Barbara too. No room for dessert, maybe next time! Thanks everyone at EPR!

What an awesome find! We have been staying right down the street and passing by this little hole in the wall everyday. We wanted to try something local so we finally stopped in tonight. I wish we had done this earlier. The food was incredible and the staff was great. I had a burger cooked medium rare to perfection! My 6 year old daughter actually said, "The chicken fingers were finger looking good!". My wife's fajitas sizzled for almost 5 minutes after we got them. A highly recommend stopping by here if you get a chance.By chance, we ran into the owner outside as we were leaving. His love for what he does and the pure professionalism he showed was definitely why this place worked so well. We will be stopping in again the next time we are out this way!

Stopped in for lunch .... But it was enough for a dinner meal. The grouper fillets special of the day were lightly breaded and served hot with house-made tarter and shrimp sauce. I chose a house salad as a side. The salad was a very pleasant surprise. So often a bit of iceberg lettuce and a bit of tomato is served ... not here. The salad had a variety of kinds of lettuce, cucumbers, tomato, onions, green pepper and shredded carrots. It eould make for a tremendously satisfying light lunch on it's own. Service was prompt and friendly. This is well worth the time to drive to Pine Island Center. Look for the colorful chicken out front!

Another delicious meal here served by super friendly staff ( our server was Andy who offered helpful suggestions). Ordered chicken soup, truly home made flavor, half chicken dinner which was flavorful and juicy, and my husband had the pot pie which was equally delicious, as well. Looking forward to our return visit.

The blonde hair lady who made my salad scoffed at me when I said I had a white-ish hair in my salad. She said sir I made that salad and I don't have white hair. They forgot my extra dressings but sure didn't forget the gratuity on my pick up order.

I don’t usually post a negative review but I had too. My family and I went there for dinner and ordered three appetizers and 5 meals plus a clam chowder. The clam chowder had a layer of grease on the top that was separated. I asked the waitress if it was normally like this and she said it’s homemade it must of separated from the vegetables. My children ordered chicken tenders and either the grease needed a change or the over cooked them. They were so tough my children refused to eat them. I ordered the buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese. It was 5 tiny little crumbs of chicken and some extremely runny cheese with a pound of Panko bread crumbs. Not a fan. I will not be returning. Paid $100 for a very unpleasant meal. Only positive that I can give is they had excellent fried green tomatoes. That’s all.
