Our Concept
Latin street kitchen meets Peruvian rotisserie
El Pollo Cartel was built around the flavor of real Pollo a la Brasa — marinated chicken, roasted until juicy, smoky, and full of sabor. We bring together Peruvian street food, Chifa wok cooking, and Nikkei-inspired creations in a food trailer made for bold flavors and fast service. From our signature chicken combos to lomo saltado, ceviche, chaufa, and crispy chicken katsu rolls, every plate is made to hit hard with flavor.
