The Take
La Granja gets the chicken right and everything else wrong by default.
Half a pollo a la brasa with rice and beans is the only play that avoids the soybean and canola assault on the sides.
The Verdict
The chain prioritizes volume and speed over clean ingredients on anything beyond the bird.
Half pollo a la brasa with rice and beans, skip fries and sauce.
Common Questions
Is La Granja healthy?
No. The chicken itself is straightforward protein but rice, beans, and especially fries default to seed oils.
Does La Granja use seed oils?
Likely on sides. One diner claimed tallow for the chicken, but no official sourcing claims exist for rice or fries.
What should you avoid at La Granja?
Fried yuca, french fries, and heavy dressings. Stick to rice, beans, and plain plantains if available.
