Pollo Lucas
Pollos Lucas
An open-air chicken stand by the main road, grilling whole chickens over mesquite wood. It is cheap and generous, and often hailed as the town's best grilled chicken.
This open-air spot on Benito Juárez Boulevard serves almost nothing but mesquite-wood-grilled whole chicken, with beans, rice, cabbage, onion, salsa and corn tortillas. A half-chicken set is very affordable, and a whole chicken is enough for a family to share. No alcohol is served, only soft drinks. Seating is first-come, first-served with no reservations, and it's busy at mealtimes, so expect a wait. Paying in pesos gives better value. Many road-trip visitors make this their first stop upon entering town.
