El Pollo Loco

As of November 3, 2009 Beaverton has a new El pollo Loco (Spanish for “The Crazy Chicken”) restaurant. The new Beaverton restaurant is located at 3260 SW Cedar Hills BLVD.  It is approximately 2900 Sq Ft and has seating for 60 guests. This is the second El Pollo Loco in Oregon. The first location opened in July of 2008 in the city of Wood Village.

El Pollo Loco is famous for it’s signature citrus-marinated, flame grilled chicken served with warm tortillas. They also serve a wide variety of fresh Mexican inspired entrees. 

Lunch at El Pollo Loco

This Saturday I finally got the chance to stop by for lunch. For several months I have been watching as they built El Pollo Loco.

The first thing you see and smell when you walk up to the counter is chicken being grilled on the open flame.

I decided to try the 2 piece combo meal which includes 2 pieces of chicken, 2 side dishes ( I chose the rice and coleslaw ), 2 tortillas and a drink. the Price was very reasonable, I spent $7.39.

Front Counter at El Pollo Loco

I was very pleased with the portions and quality of the food, the chicken was fresh off the grill with a great flavor and the sides were also very tasty.

I really enjoyed the circular, self serve salsa bar featuring El Pollo Loco’s House Salsa, Avocado, Chipotle and Pico De Gallo Salsas, made fresh daily.

I think El Pollo Loco is a welcome addition to the Beaverton lunch scene. Check It Out!

Si Señor Family Mexican Restaurant

If you are feeling really hungry and in the mood for Mexican food then you might want to try the all you can eat lunch buffet at Si Senor. This past saturday I found myself feeling exactly that way. I had been trying to watch my calorie intake all week and decided to treat myself. I had been to Si Senor once before with my wife Ellen and I remembered the buffet to be pretty good. 

When I walked in I was immediately greeted and shown to my table. The first thing I noticed when I sat down was a full bowl of tortilla chips along with salsa and bean dip. The chips and salsa were fresh and the bean dip was very good. 

The waitress asked me if I would like to try the buffet or would I like to order off the menu. Si Senor also offer a full menu of Mexican dishes that include traditional favorites such as Tacos, Tostadas, Burritos, Enchiladas, Fajitas, Seafood, Chicken and Beef. I was really hungry so I chose the lunch buffet. 

Si Senor Lunch Buffet

   The Buffet features over a dozen freshly prepared dishes plus a salad and salsa bar with fruit and some Mexican dessert items. Si Senor also advertises that there are new items added to the buffet daily. I found the food to be very good and I proceeded to use up all the calories I saved up in the previous week, making three trips back to the buffet. Check it out, I think you will be glad you did.
