Los Pollos Hermanos, the fried-chicken chain that fronted Gus Fring's operation, was filmed at a real restaurant in Albuquerque's South Valley: Twisters, a local fast-food chain.
Fans have been making the trip ever since, and the Breaking Bad RV Tour builds its meal stop around it.
The quick answer
The Los Pollos Hermanos restaurant from Breaking Bad is Twisters at 4257 Isleta Blvd SW, in Albuquerque's South Valley. It is a working Twisters, serving burgers, burritos and New Mexican food. The Breaking Bad RV Tour includes a light meal and drink there, and the self-guided tour ends there.
Is Los Pollos Hermanos a real restaurant?
Not as a chain: Los Pollos Hermanos is fictional, but the building is a real Twisters restaurant you can eat in.
The Better Call Saul spin-off returned to the location, so it appears in both shows. Fans recognise the shape of the building and the drive-through straight away.

Check dates for the Breaking Bad RV TourWhere is it?
At 4257 Isleta Blvd SW, in the South Valley, about 15 minutes' drive south of Old Town.
There is a parking lot out front. If you are driving yourself, combine it with the other South Valley and downtown stops rather than making a separate trip.
What can you eat there?
Twisters' normal menu: burgers, burritos, chicken and New Mexican dishes with red or green chile.
The tour meal is a light one; guests mention a chicken sandwich and a drink. It is a fast-food counter, not a themed restaurant, so set your expectations on the photo rather than the food.
Does the RV tour always stop there?
The meal is planned at Twisters; if it is unavailable, the operator moves it to another local spot such as Blake's Lotaburger or Central Grill.
That is rare, but it is in the listing, so it is worth knowing.
Ride the RV, eat at Los Pollos Hermanos and see 20+ locations in one morning.
