The definitive grilled chicken (Pollo Regio)

"Definitive" is defined as:

de·fin·i·tive

[dih-fin-i-tiv]
adjective
1.
serving to define, fix, or specify definitely.
2.
satisfying all criteria.

The criteria (like Asimov's laws of robotics, there be three of 'em for the purposes of this blog), as adopted by the exalted and elevated committee for all things lunch :-) are..

1. Taste alone (would you have it again?)
2. Taste vs. price (would you pay for it often)
3. Taste vs. location (would you be willing to drive to get it again?)

The chicken at Pollo Regio gets a resounding YES! on all the above without breaking a sweat. Consistently well-seasoned, moist meatiness on almost every visit. This is my go-to place for lunch for something quick, tasty and very economical. $6.99 gets you all the goodies in the pictures below.. half a chicken + rice + charro beans + 10 corn tortillas + cold beverage. The rice, beans and tortillas are no slouches either, and I haven't had better anywhere else.

Bottomline.. I've been there a _lot_ this past year, and I do not see that changing for the foreseeable future.
