About

Gustavo owns 14 Los Pollos restaurants in the South Western United States between Albuquerque and Nevada ("Mandala") ("Bug"). The flagship restaurant has had many visitors from employees of Gus' other business, namely Walter White, The Cousins, and Mike Ehrmantraut. Hank Schrader has also staked out the restaurant to monitor Fring. When Gus wants to talk to one of his employees, he texts them "Pollos" to have them meet at his restaurant or chicken farm. Employees at Los Pollos Hermanos must answer the phone with the restaurant's motto: "Los Pollos Hermanos, where something delicious is always cooking." ("Hermanos") Los Pollos Hermanos advertises its chicken as "slow-cooked to perfection... one taste, and you'll know."

Mike huddles inside a Los Pollos Hermanos refrigerated truck as it travels down the highway. The truck stops: Mike knows something's up. Mike hunkers down as two gunmen blast the truck with machine guns. When they open the rear doors, Mike shoots them dead and jumps out. He winces as he touches his ear -- a bullet took a chunk out ("Bullet Points"). Later, Mike meets with Gus in his office and explains that Jesse is becoming a liability. Walt may not like it, Mike continues, but something has to be done. Hank tells Marie that he's resumed the Gale Boetticher case. Looking through police photographs taken in Gale's apartment, Hank notices a napkin from Los Pollos Hermanos, with some letters and numbers - perhaps a serial or model number for some product - inked at the bottom. Reflecting on Gale's dietary habits, Hank wonders aloud to Marie, "Since when do vegans eat fried chicken?" ("Shotgun").
