EST. 1982
This recipe for success was created by founder and current day majority owner Eugene R. Alvarez. In 1982, Mr. Alvarez (a.k.a. Ramiro) opened the 1st El Pollo Supremo in the agricultural town of Oxnard, CA. Following an immediate positive response for having the healthiest and more flavorful chicken, he was joined by three friends. Together they set out to expand to new locations. By 1984, the original restaurant had been sold and the first New Jersey Location was established. The Spanish International Research Institute quickly voted El Pollo Supremo as the best fast food chicken restaurant in all of New Jersey and New York. The accolades have been numerous, but none as important as the multiple generations of loyal customers. Parents that bring their children who later grow up to bring their children are the truest measure of quality that continues to withstand the test of time.

This chicken is the best. It's so juicy in the right areas and the combo with your choice of rice is so good. The fries are also crunchy and fresh. This place is so iconic! ❤

I've tried the chicken and it's the same seasoning as 20 years ago - it's super delicious! The Yucca with Mojo and the Piña Colada are exquisite. I'm really glad I came today because they never disappoint me. And I'll be back, I'm sure!!
