Los Pollos Hermanos (which means "The Chicken Brothers" in Spanish) is a make-believe fast food restaurant chain. It specializes in tasty fried chicken. This restaurant was a big part of two popular TV shows: Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul. Because the shows were so famous, Los Pollos Hermanos has even appeared as a real-life pop-up restaurant sometimes!

In the TV shows, Los Pollos Hermanos was started by two friends, Gus Fring and Max Arciniega. They began their business in Mexico. A fun story told in a fake TV commercial said the restaurant's recipes came from Gus's uncles.
Gus Fring, played by actor Giancarlo Esposito, later moved to the United States. He opened many Los Pollos Hermanos restaurants, mostly in New Mexico. The chain grew to have 14 locations across the American Southwest.
The Restaurant's Story in the Shows
In the TV series, the company became part of a big German shipping company called Madrigal Electromotive GmbH. Gus Fring used these connections to help his business grow even more.
Eventually, the story of Gus Fring in the show came to an end. After this, the Los Pollos Hermanos chain was closed down. The main restaurant in Albuquerque was replaced by another fast food place called Twisters. Interestingly, the real-life Twisters restaurant is where they filmed the scenes for Los Pollos Hermanos!
About the Logo
The famous logo for Los Pollos Hermanos was designed in 2008. A Mexican artist named Humberto Puentes-Segura created it. This logo shows two cartoon chickens.
Because the TV shows were so popular, many items like T-shirts and hats with the Los Pollos Hermanos logo were sold. These items were sold by a company called Topanga Productions, which is part of Sony Pictures. Sony Pictures made the Breaking Bad show.
In 2016, the artist who created the logo, Humberto Puentes-Segura, filed a lawsuit. He said that he did not give Sony permission to sell merchandise using his logo.
