Second Home for Planned “Best” Local Grilled Charcoal Chicken

A low-key, southeast destination that proudly boasts it serves “the best grilled charcoal chicken in Las Vegas” is making its first expansion into a roomier space on the eastside.

For the past year, the Pollos El Dorado menu secret has been an outdoor grilling set-up at the Queeno Plaza, right at the intersection of Merrill Avenue and Russell Road.

Very close to the border with Henderson, the counter-service space has earned a loyal following for its chicken deals and a menu of casual Mexican favorites.

Promised as “coming soon,” the second location will move into the Dollar General Shopping Center inside a 2,025-square-foot corner spot at 3700 E. Charleston Blvd., a short distance from Pecos Road.

No word yet on future opening hours, or if the new home will continue the outdoor cooking tradition that creates whole chicken and piece meals that arrive with tortillas and sides of beans, rice, or French fries. Other current dishes include tortas, sopes, tostadas, burritos, and tacos.
