You better call Saul Goodman, because Los Pollos Hermanos is popping up in Downtown Los Angeles in a crazy standalone restaurant for two days. The iconic Albuquerque chicken restaurant from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul run by the notorious character Gustavo Fring is serving from noon to 10 p.m. on March 29 and 30 at 1345 E. 6th Street just around the corner from the Arts District.

Los Pollos Hermanos recently popped up at SXSW in Austin, with an entire menu on display like the infamous fast food restaurant. However, they only served curly fries, water, and three dipping sauces. It seemed weird that they didn’t even serve chicken at the place, though here’s to hoping that the L.A. version will at least fry up some of that delicious chicken (hopefully without any of the, ehem, blue crystal meth).

At the Austin restaurant, actors Bob Odenkirk (who plays Saul Goodman) and Giancarlo Esposito (who plays Gus Fring) were on site hanging out with folks who stopped by for the pop-up. Expect many lines and difficult parking at the Downtown location, so it’s to best take public transit or Lyft. Better Call Saul’s second season is currently on Netflix while the third season premieres on AMC on April 10.

God, I love Better Call Saul. Season 3 better not let me down.

I hope people aren't disappointed after standing in line for a few hours.

But was one of them Cajun Kick Ass?

 

[Darth Pinche]

I prefer Franch.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Pay for parking, spend hours in line downwind from skid row for some curly fries.

Nah B I'm good.

 

[joelseph]

My goofy ass in a neogaf shirt at the original location on the official Breaking Bad tour. Highly recommended!

 

[Septimus Prime]

Los Pollos Hermanos! Not Los Fucking Curly Fucking Fries Hermanos.

Come on, guys.

Hope that shirt was printed with the right licensing/permission from the GAF gods...
Otherwise, sans the sombreros .... cool pic.

...for two days.

...only serves fries.

Well, that was underwhelming.

New Mexican restaurant without anything green Chile? Fucking fail.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Weird place to put it in my opinion, considering that the real fast food spots this place parodies are based in LA, and I doubt most of these Breaking Bad fans have ever stepped foot in them. Places like pollo campero, el Gallo giro, etc.

Doesn't that make it an even more suitable location?

Well it is owned by German conglomerate Madrigal Electromotive, so what do you expect?

 

[CreepingFear]

As long as I could get Heisenberg's blue meth, I'm okay with just fries.

 

[GK86]

They are opening one in NYC next week.

As long as one of those is Franch (tm)

Guess it depends on how you look at it. To me it seems kinda near-sighted to put the imitation from the show in the same city where the real things are. But, overall, I guess it doesn't really matter that much.

 

[Anth0ny]

man that's awesome.

 

[Glix]

 

[Jack Scofield]

I love LA but this will be a madhouse. I would love to go, though.

Locals would have rioted anyhow

What is this, Dumb Los Pollos Hermanos?

A real Los Pollos Hermanos restaurant!

It's called Twisters. And it's amazing.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Pro-Tip for LA people:
All the chumps lining up for this will probably mean that Howlin' Ray's will have a shorter line.

 

[The Kree]

I'm interested if they put meth in the chicken.

 

[Septimus Prime]

 

[norm9]

These hipsters should just go to Pollo Campero http://www.campero.com/ in South Central if they want that kind of chicken.

 

[kewlmyc]

Only curly fries and water? Fucking lol.

 

[Movement]

It's called Twisters. And it's amazing.

Yup. Twister burrito smothered in red and green. yuuuum.

 

[Speevy]

Esposito should show up and run every time a wheelchair comes in the door.

 

[Zantetsuken]

I just want to know who the server is in front. She's gorgeous.

 

[Truant]

Fuck I just got transported back to 2007.

 

[hateradio]

Of course they would do this after I move. 🙄

 

[daffy]

What are the lines looking like? That Austin pic looks atrocious

Edit: wait, no chicken? Es loco
