Our Story

Born from Flames: The Pollo Hut Story

At Pollo Hut, every dish we serve is a testament to the power of fire and flavor. Founded in 2024 in Edinburg, Texas, by Rolando Palacios, a passionate chef with a vision to redefine the way people experience chicken. Inspired by traditional techniques and driven by a desire to innovate, Rolando transformed his vision into reality with Pollo Hut, a place where community and culinary excellence meet.

The Flame that Started It All

Our journey began with a simple, yet bold idea: to create the best pollo asado in town. Starting as a beloved food truck, we quickly gained popularity, thanks to our unique approach to cooking with fire. Our signature technique involves marinating fresh, locally-sourced chicken in homemade spices and grilling it over an open flame to perfection. This process not only locks in a rich, smoky flavor but also celebrates the authenticity of traditional fire-grilling methods.
