Pollo Norte cuisine combines the best of Mexico and the Northwest. The menu's slow-cooked Mexican-style rotisserie chicken is prepared with locally raised, free-range chicken along with local, organic, gluten-free ingredients. And that delicious attention to detail has earned the restaurant plenty of praise from the press.

"I've had this style of chicken in Puerto Vallarta, and Pollo's owners aren't wrong to say it's addictive, and hard to find in the metro area." – Portland Mercury

"With its small menu of free-range rotisserie chickens, tortillas, salsa, and five Mexican-inspired sides (think pinto beans stewed with pork and chiles; potatoes roasted in pan drippings; and tangy cabbage slaw), it's an ode to the ubiquitous chicken shops that pepper the neighborhoods of Mexico City." – Eater Portland

"Pulled off the bone, nestled in a tortilla with a spoonful of beans, some tomatillo salsa and that cabbage, soaked in chicken drippings, tender and meaty, somehow the best thing on the menu -- just one bite and it's clear that Pollo Norte's chicken has few rivals. It's probably the best take-out in the city right now." – Oregonian
