    Chick-fil-A Deluxe Sandwich & Chick-fil-A Waffle Potato Fries
    Kevin T.

    I been to many other locations of Chick fil A but this specific location is one of the best. Very spacious compared all the other locations I've been to. The drive through is spacious as well with double ordering lanes. Parking is plentiful because of how spacious it is. Getting in and out of the lot is easy as well. Menu is always solid, but my wife and I; favorites are the waffle fries and the Deluxe Chicken Sandwich. The waffle fries are always crispy and fresh whenever I order them. They're just super addicting and salted perfectly. Portions are pretty big as well considering the fries are "big" As for the Deluxe chicken sandwich, it's perfect. Chicken is well made and each bite is full of flavor and crisp. Underrated but it's always well presented. The bun itself is pretty nice and standard size for a chicken sandwich. My wife recommended me this spot instead of the other locations because of how spacious spot is and I'm impressed with this location as staff is always friendly, helpful, and quick despite always being super busy. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Highly recommended to use their mobile app to gain points for your purchases and gain rewards.

    Chick-fil-A in El Monte might be the easiest fast food stop I've ever made in my life. It literally sits right between the off ramp and on ramp for the 10 freeway, which feels almost too convenient, and somehow still manages to have the biggest parking lot I've ever seen for a fast food spot. I expected the dining room to be massive because of that, but even with more modest seating there was still plenty of room to eat comfortably. As expected, the food was consistently delicious and tasted exactly like Chick-fil-A should. The service lived up to the reputation too, fast, friendly, and genuinely pleasant. It's one of those locations that feels engineered for efficiency, and honestly it works.

    Probably the first time I got crispy chicken from chickfila. Maybe I just haven't been going to the right place! Very happy with this new el monte chickfila. Great addition to the neighborhood. Love waffle fries, although not always the crispiest, but it's the inner child in me! Love that the menu is always solid. AND I could order plain chicken nugs for my dog.

    I love chick fil a but man they have to do better with their portions of fries. I always order up to a large when getting a combo because I'm used to them not filling it up. But yesterday was the worse it's ever been. I got home to enjoy my food and was visibly shocked to see my fries. It was as if I ordered a small and for the up charge for a large I think it's just ridiculous. Do better chick fil a. I took pictures before I took a single fry and it's just horribly sad can't believe they do this!!

    Love Chick-fil-A and this location. Had to run a couple errands in the specific area and enjoyed breakfast here. As always, the staff is welcoming and professional. So happy the iced coffee cups are now a bigger size, I need my caffeine!

    The outside parking and drive thru.
    Drew Q.

    Don't understand the low score here. Most Foch negative reviews are from the first months of this location opening. So I think maybe they have worked out their kinks. The food is the same as other locations which is pretty good , great customer service and the place is clean with plenty of parking. This location has a good number of tables outside as well if you want to dine outside.

    Not 3 pieces of bacon.
    K. G.

    This is not 3 pieces of bacon. Managers arguing that it was. This is 1 and a 1/3 maybe. Half slices of bacon is not a full slice of bacon. This location needs improving.

    I've been here a grand total of twice…read more My first experience was problem free. Kudos. The second visit "could've been better" (which Yelp suggests that a 2 star rating would be appropriate to indicate): we placed quite a simple order - 2x Strawberry Sundaes. We took our number placard (#52) and sat at a table to await our order. After patiently waiting what I would estimate to be approximately 15-20 minutes and seeing quite a few other people served their orders, I did find it odd that it was taking so long to prepare 2x sundaes, so I located the young man who took our order and politely inquired about it. He looked a bit confused, exchanged some unintelligible words one of the guys on the grill, and then looked back at me and said it was not our turn yet (or something to that effect). Okay, fair enough. Maybe there were many orders ahead of us. I took it in good stride and went back to my table. After waiting approximately another 15-20 minutes and seeing that *Order #70* was being given their food, I realized that there was a problem and went back up to the ordering counter. I ended up talking with an old man (who I presume is the owner/manager). I explained the situation, and he inquired who had taken our order. I looked around, and the young man appeared to be nowhere in sight, but I did mention it was he who had had taken our order. The old man apologized and assured us he would take care of our order right away. Sure enough, I saw him beeline to the ice cream machine to start our sundaes, and he delivered them to us within 2-3 minutes. He apologized a second time, stating that it was the young man's 2nd day on the job, and that he otherwise would not have forgiven the transgression. In my experience, the resolution to the absurd wait could have been handled worse (in theory, the old man could certainly have told us to pound sand rather than apologizing and immediately attempting to correct the problem and quickly getting our desserts after being made aware of his employee's failure), but also could have been handled better (comping us for the trivial cost of the sundaes as a remedy/cure would have more effectively salved our irritation from the unnecessary waste of 30+ minutes of our life, and would have been in-line with remedial efforts I have experienced at other eateries, including similar fast food/burger joints). All that said, the sundaes were quite good. They would undoubtedly have tasted better had they been served in a time frame reasonable enough to not spoil the mood. I get that this is not a fine dining restaurant of any sort, but I still expect staff competence to be no worse than that of a McDonald's baseline level. I also get that humans make mistakes, but ... how did a simple order of 2x sundaes get botched this badly, particularly after a good faith attempt to bring the matter to staff's attention??

Some of their most popular dishes include Asada Burritos, Super Fries, and Tlayudas. I recently attended an event at my son's school where Chanos was a vendor. It was my first time seeing them there, and I was glad to see them, as they've replaced other vendors in the past. I had already eaten, but who can resist a burrito?! My son was getting hungry, so I ordered an Asada Burrito for us to share. It was pretty good; the tortilla was excellent. I wasn't a fan of their rice and beans, but the asada was not bad. They had a few salsas to try. They used those tiny salsa containers, which everyone knows. Restaurants use them to prevent over-indulgence, but it takes a while to get enough salsa because they're so small. I understand it's a cost-saving measure. They were also serving Churros ($3), and I got two. They were okay, a bit doughy in the middle, making me think they were undercooked. The guys working the booth were super friendly and attentive. I appreciate them! Realistically, the burrito was a 3/5, but with the good service and their community support, I'm rounding it up to a 4. Until next time, Chanos! Gracias!

The food hits the spot, but unless you are walking or using the drive-thru, save yourself the hassle and hit up another In-N-Out a few miles away for faster service!

With that said, there are always room for improvement but tonight, I'm giving a 5 star rating specifically because the Food was perfectly prepared, and one employee in particular impressed me. When we arrived around 10pm Friday night, half the restaurant was full. The available tables were slightly dirty, so looks like staff hadn't gotten to cleaning the tables yet. Seats were a bit greasy but tolerable. This is the area of improvement I would love to see. If employees are not readily available to clean the tables, just leave the wipes around so we can wipe down the tables ourselves. I'd be totally fine cleaning my table myself. While we were eating, I got the opportunity to observe several employees in action. One employee stood out. While most employees just speedily wipe down the tables and sweep the debris onto the floors. Edgar not only cleaned the tops of the tables, but also the back rests and seats, and even the tops of the trashcans!!! That level of attention to detail I greatly appreciated. I thought he was the shift manager given how much he was doing!! Not only that, he was the only employee I heard acknowledging and greeting guests. Edgar deserves all the praise!

    Coco raised the white flag after just one bite of the Reaper chicken burger…read more Coco is from a province in southwest China. Although her province is not as famous for spicy food as Sichuan, it is still a place where people truly love heat. She was the one who taught me how to use chili properly and how to cook in a Sichuan-style spicy way. But even she could not handle one bite of the Reaper flavor at Dave's Hot Chicken. She called it "chemical spicy", not the joyful, flavorful kind of spicy you get from serious Sichuan food. This was my first time visiting Dave's Hot Chicken. I am not really a fried chicken person, and I am definitely not a fast-food person. But I became curious after reading a Business Insider newsletter that ranked Dave's Hot Chicken as one of the most popular restaurant chains in America in 2025. With that kind of praise, how could I not try it? There is no Dave's Hot Chicken near my home, even though the company is headquartered in Pasadena, so I had to drive all the way to Rosemead. This location is inside a plaza with The Habit, IHOP, Chipotle, and other fast-food chains, right in the middle of a heavily Chinese residential area. The restaurant is easy to spot because of its funny screaming rubber chicken logo. I used to like that chicken a lot, especially the screaming sound, even though it is honestly very noisy. The interior has a modern industrial, almost nightclub-like style, with neon lights and graffiti-style murals. Everything is designed to feel wild, young, and HOT. When I walked in, every table was occupied by Latinos, and about half of them were teenagers, loud and clearly having a good time. What surprised me was that there was not a single Chinese staff member inside, even though the restaurant is right in the middle of a Chinese neighborhood. Since there were only two of us, and since I am not a big fan of fried chicken, we only ordered one combo with two sliders. One was Hot, the third heat level, and the other was Reaper, the extreme level. I had the Hot one. It was actually very good. The chicken was crispy outside and tender inside. Even though it was chicken breast, which is usually not my favorite part, it was still juicy. I would probably rank it as my second favorite fried chicken. Jollibee is still number one for me, but Dave's was better than I expected. The chicken itself was good, except for the Reaper one. My recommendation is simple: do not even try it. Coco was sweating and her face turned pale after one bite, and she is a well-known spicy lover. That should tell you everything. Another recommendation: eat the chicken with Dave's signature sauce. I do not know exactly what is inside, but it tasted like it had some honey mixed in, and it worked really well with the chicken. The waffle-cut fries were also good. They were crispy outside, soft inside, and not too dry. Again, the Hot level, which is the third level, is just right. Trust me. Do not go higher unless you are doing it purely as a challenge.
