A friend, David Garza, recommended this place for chicken. When I thought about having chicken for lunch, I wasn't exactly excited, but I like chicken, so whatever, right? Gotta eat... We drove around until we finally located the trailer... "El Gavilan Pollero." It was on the corner of Port and Ruth. As we pulled up, we had that redneck moment of excitement when we decided to eat on the tailgate. The lady who took our order totally hooked us up - newbies to the Pollero, we were unaware of the "call ahead" situation. Yeah, they stay busy and there is a serious reason for that!
Wow, not even out of the bag, and it smells killer. I'm salivating. The scent of charred meat is creating a gutteral reaction.With toasted peppers, and smoked onion, grab a tortilla, and put all that in your mouth. The beans are super flavor, and stands up to the perfect seasoning on the asada.
The chicken is cut in such a way that each bite includes just the right amount of seasoning and charring. The first bite of perfectly stewed, perfectly seasoned beans is an explosion of flavor in your mouth. The chicken is grilled with Serrano and onion... The aroma. Oh, the aroma!
The crew preparing your meal has been perfecting this dish for thirteen years and it shows! You won't want a thing about this meal to change!
Post asada feelings. I look around me, and I see people, lots of them, and as I look into their eyes, the mere thought that they may NOT have ever had that perfectly charred chicken... It saddens me, deeply...

There's no real parking, and for sure nowhere to eat. It's meant to be more of a pick it up, and take it home. BUT that's not how we roll. We recommend tailgating it. There's nothing like perfectly grilled chicken, and an ice cold beer on a sunny afternoon. So, about that beer... BYOB.
