El Rey De Los Pollos is a Dominican restaurant and bar tucked along John Young Parkway in Kissimmee, offering a distinctly local dining experience that centers on hearty Latin American flavors. Despite a plain exterior, stepping inside reveals a lively and spacious atmosphere where the comfort of familiar island dishes meets the casual energy of community gatherings.

This spot is well-suited for those who appreciate Dominican and broader Latin American cuisine served in generous portions. The menu features staples like Pollo Asado, Carne Frita Con Arroz Y Habichuelas, and flavorful specialties such as Mofongo Relleno Con Picadera Mixta and Mondongo Beef Tripe. For appetizer lovers, options like shrimp empanadas, blood sausage, and alcapurrias highlight traditional tastes that are not often found in mainstream eateries around the area.

The atmosphere is casual but vibrant, particularly on weekend nights when a DJ spins classic merengue, bachata, and reggaeton tunes. This brings a festive vibe that pairs well with the bar’s mix of beers and cocktails like the Tequila Sunrise. Inside, big screen TVs broadcast ongoing sports, making it a comfortable place to catch a game while enjoying rich Hispanic coffee or a refreshing Jugo de Guanabana.

El Rey De Los Pollos attracts a diverse crowd—from local families and longtime regulars to visitors seeking authentic Caribbean flavors beyond typical fast food. The presence of a VIP seating area adds an extra layer of comfort for groups wanting a bit more privacy, while attentive service ensures the experience feels personal and welcoming. Visiting during weekend evenings delivers the liveliest scene, but lunchtime visits are just as popular for those who want to enjoy classic Dominican lunch plates in a relaxed setting.

Overall, this is a spot where food and culture intersect naturally, reflecting Kissimmee’s growing Latin American community and its appetite for traditional, satisfying meals in an unpretentious environment.

I love this place and the food is great. It’s ugly on the outside but inside is spectacular. They have a DJ on Saturday’s that be playing some old school merengue hits and bachata, reggaeton. Big screen tvs to see sport events. They have a comfy VIP area. The food is fresh and delicious.
