    seasoned fries
    Mona L.

    The best!! Been coming here for awhile and the service, clean atmosphere, and fresh (and halal) chicken. Crispy grilled skin, buttery, lemony and moist! Love the lemon butter if you can't tell and these fries are my favorite (thick cut and seasoned!). Spicy chicken sandwich also is super delicious, with just the right kick + super cheesy. Will be back super soon, this location is definitely one of my go-to-spots!!!

    Small breast and dry chicken.

    I love the food at Charo chicken and have been to many locations. My experience here at this location wasn't the best due to the portion size and the price point. I ordered a 2 piece meal which costed around 16 dollars which isn't cheap for just 2 pieces. The breast seemed to be small and they cut some of the meat out. The chicken was dry so I asked for more sauce they put on it and they told me it costs 70 cents! So a17 dollar 2 piece meal I will stick to half chicken meals at El Pollo Loco for 15 dollars. This is why Charo locations are closing down. I will not return I can't pay that price for the lack of value.

    Expired sauce that's about explode open. (We did NOT open at all) save this to show proof of spoiled sauces they serve.

    Serves expired sauces that can pose health risks. I went in for a 12pc family meal and asked for sauces on the side. Went home to eat with our family and we pour our sauces onto our food without a thought it would be expired. We spit out our food immediately when we tasted the terrible taste in the sauce. That caused us to throw away a 5pc chicken meal because there was no way of removing the sauce off. I immediately contacted the store. Spoke with Moe the owner and informed him about the situation. He in fact did CONFIRMED the sauces were expired after revising them. I then, requested at least half of my refund. The following day I only received a $5 refund which I thought it was a joke. I contacted him again. He barely let me speak over the phone and I demanded half of my refund it was the least he can provide since he even confirmed the sauces were bad. He declined and only offered me $10 more of a refund and he said it was a "complimentary". It is very disappointing that the owner does not seem to care that this could have potentially cause harm to our health for consuming expired sauces. STAY AWAY or check your food before leaving this store. I highly recommend the Charo Chicken restaurant in Long Beach instead.

    Yummy

    I LOVE Chato Chicken! The garliic lemon chicken is so tender, tasty and I must hide it from my kitty Buster who will steal it and he doesnt like human food except for this chicken, so trust me it is delicious! The sides feed 2, I ordered blackbeans and Coleslaw which they make from scratch too and the corn is for one but good Great Value, quality consistently great

    Apple walnut cranberry salad with chicken
    Kim H.

    We stopped in this evening for an apple walnut cranberry salad and spicy chicken sandwich. The gentleman who helped us was very pleasant and helpful. Our food was amazing and both items ordered are easily enough for 2 meals. This salad is very pretty and filled with so much more than just lettuce. We had not stopped in here recently but will definitely be back soon.

    Garlic chicken (1/2 of 8 piece combo)
    Maheen K.

    We visited yesterday around 4pm. Service was quick and parking was ample. Seemed like on this hot day the AC wasn't turned on inside or something because sitting inside to eat was extremely hard as it was super hot. We ordered one 8 piece chicken with two sides and a spicy chicken breast sandwich. The sandwich looked nothing like the picture on the wall but tasted good. The chicken was moist. The spicy sauce they gave on the side complimented the sandwich perfectly. I was a bit disappointed in the chicken. Both garlic and cayenne were cooked properly but had little taste to them. The garlic mashed potatoes had the same issue about not having any flavor to then. The corn on the cob was normal. The small 2oz salsa that was given with the sandwich was also super bland. Unfortunately most of the items were not up to par.

    Are you guys still halal the Yelp listing doesn't say halal anymore?

    Yes we are 100% Zabihah halal Hand slaughter

    Their phone number doesn't work. Is there a new number?

    Their phone lines are down sometimes , just try back after a few minutes . I feel like it's an internet based phone, usually works for me after 5-10 Mins.

    My wife and I have been here a dozen times and we missing coming here. We hadn't been here in a…read morewhile but thankfully we were in town and stopped by. It's our first time at the restaurant location as we used to go to the truck before. Here's what we ordered: Bean and cheese burrito: honestly a bit disappointed. This is more like a rice burrito as there was not enough beans or cheese. Flavor was a bit lacking. Crispy potato: definitely delicious and crispy! Black bean pepper: our favorite as the texture was on point but the cilantro sauce with cojita cheese made the dish. Crispy green potato: similar to the crispy potato taco but definitely better due to the cilantro sauce. The potato filling was also amazing and the taco overall was presented beautifully. Burnt fries: crispy fries with aioli sauce was the perfect combo - one of my favorite dishes here! Overall, this is our favorite taco spot and we'll always come back here.

    First time visitor eating inside Kiosk to order or cashier…read moreto assist Please note cashier is also bussing and food running so be a little patient Bench style sitting and standard table and chairs Appear dog friendly as a dog was there Clean functional inviting Proteins vegan vegetarian friendly spot Only been here once before for a to go order Ordered trio tacos beef cheek cauliflower and shrimp and came with a drink $20 meal with tax Flavors were good and fresh made to order but sad to see from visiting 6 months ago how much the portions have shrunk Cauliflower had 2 smaller florets and shrimp was were smaller as well with 4 pieces, both had a lot of cabbage for crunch and texture. Beef cheek was tender and smoky Would still return to try other things Still a great local spot for family outing solo group outing Definetly steady traffic for to go orders
