Many years ago, I came here all the time for their crunchy chicken tacos with sour cream! Yummy! They're so light (not greasy at all)! After I moved out of Vallejo over 10 years ago, I've been craving these tacos and no where seems to make them like Chicken Express. I passed by today and decided to get some tacos again. Tasted just the same as when I last had it! The chicken here are so flavorful! I also got the chicken taco salad with no beans! Delicious! Cravings satisfied! read more

This evening about 7:15 I decided to go to Chicken Express for Dinner. I went through the drive thru and I ordered a 2 piece white Breast/Wing, my sides were mashed potatoes and gravy and Coleslaw; I also ordered a corn on the side. My order was $8.76 I gave $1.00 tip. I finally arrived home and ready to eat when my order wasn't a two piece White. It was a thigh/leg. I immediately called the restaurant and gave them my name and told them my Dilemma, the young gentleman put me on hold and returned and said you have to bring it back. Long story short I arrived I explained to the young lady whom was rude never apologized took the food never looked in the bag. I told her Never-mind making my order over I would like a refund. Once again no apologies she refunded my money stating her you go. If your Customer Service is this bad I will not be back and I will also let others know. Thank you In Advance Frustrated Customer read more

So bomb! They have generous portions and prices are very reasonable. The chicken is fall of the bone tender. The taco salad is !

I love chicken express. The tacos, burritos and taco salad are good. Great staff. Good location. I like there desserts of red velvet and carrot cake. Different heat levels of hot sauces. read more

I have been going to this place for years it does not have an appealing ambiance , they are pricy and have the audacity to charge for condiments I ordered rice and beans the cashier said I would have to pay for condiments unless I ordered a burrito or a taco what if people don't eat all that other stuff? And the condiment shown to me were so stingy, and a very small people please stop supporting bad behavior. They are making money constantly throughout the day. How dare they be so greedy and stingy. read more

I purchased the Super Chicken Burrito, on 4/21/24, the burrito was so dried, that it didn't include any of the other ingredients just a little chicken, and lots of dried-up beans, rice, and cheese. I also purchased a bag of stale tortilla chips. Very disappointed and I wasted my money. The best Mexican restaurants can be found in San Francisco, the Mission District serves the best fresh authentic food. You'll never be disappointed, Chicken Express employees, how can you mess up a simple chicken burrito? Also, should make sure your food is fresh including the tortilla chips. read more

The taco price is just getting higher and looks smaller. Goughing on every little thing. Last time I bought 6 crispy chicken taco and ask for 6 salsa and they only have me 2. They said it will be .50 cent extra for each one. The sauce container is so small its hardly enough for a taco. They use to just give you a sauce for every taco no questions asked. Use to go 3 days a week and unfortunately will not be going back. read more

This is a great place to get food when you don't feel like cooking. I love their tacos, taco chicken salad and their rotisserie chicken dinner deals. The food is great all the time and great prices for the portions you get too. They have the best pick de Gallo and green salsa too. It's a great place for catering large gatherings too. The folks here are sweet and hard working. They always give service with a smile too!! I don't ever eat there as I usually go through drive through or go inside to pick up my orders to go. I have never had any issues with my orders being packed up either which I truly appreciate too. read more

I'm only going off of what I ate, not what was ordered, although I do with this place had more options.I got a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream, I was very disappointed because there was barely any sour cream.The horchata was decent, but I've definitely had better. read more

Chicken Express - Horchata - Mexican Near Me - Vallejo, California

Chicken Express is perfect when I want some rotisserie chicken with a Mexican twist. You practically can get rotisserie chicken elsewhere, but what makes this place different are the staples that come with your meal. I absolutely enjoy their rice, beans, and tortillas with my chicken. Funny as it sounds I've never had anything like it and it just made sense. It's not the best looking place as it appears to be a little old and run down. Parking lot isn't as large and can be difficult to maneuver when their drive thru is busy. Their drive thru service isn't as fast either as my experience took more than 15 minutes. I've never tried their tacos and burritos, but that's probably something I'd try on my next visit. read more

Chicken Express - #2 Two Piece Rotisserie Chicken Combo - Mexican Near Me - Vallejo, California

Essentially a taco-bell reborn as a small local chain. One look at the very neutral salsa in the single pasty-white flour taco bombarded by shredded letttuce flooded my mind with memories of Macdonalds, KFC, BK, and every other big chain 'restaurants' that caters to the lowest common denominator. The chicken taco was pretty bland with no punch, though I must say the chicken taco salad was better; I can see that it would make a very apt hot summer's day salad as it was pretty refreshing and none of the the ingredients looked sad or withering. I had a bite of the BBQ chicken sandwich and we both agreed that the BBQ sauce was a mite too sugary. I didn't try the rotisserie chicken, which, apparently, they're known for. Vexed am I, as I vacillate between the thought of trying the rotisserie chicken, and the thought of actually going back again. read more

Simply amazing! I have purchased food from chicken express twice and each time was great. My recent purchase was by going through the drive thru. I thought the wait was descent, not to long. The drive thru line was long, but that only means the food is amazing!!! I order the twice piece dark meat meal. You get two sides and I got the rice and beans. See my picture. I also order a chicken hard taco on the side. All the items I ordered was delicious. I will definitely be going back, but ordering from the inside and trying new sides. The price was great! I think I got a lot of food for $7 bucks. Stop by and don't forget to check out my pictures! read more

Taco chicken salad is very filling and always fresh. Taste really good. Jamaica drink is good. Had the ranch chicken sandwich with all white meat sandwich was good but tasted like Mayo not ranch. read more

2 words for u......TACO SALAD!!!! Omg did not see this one coming! So im out in vallejo seeing this chick and before we head back to the city she asks if we can stop by here. Sure. No problem. She starts feeding me this weird looking glob of food on a chip. One of the best things i have ever tasted. And i love the delivery method. I made an excuse to go see her after but i just ended up grabing another taco salad and goin back to SF. I think she forgave me..... read more

Disappointed!! Ordered a Super Chicken Burrito only to find out it was mostly beans and barely any chicken inside it. I guess it really is hard times and it's trickling down to the customers. Called to express my disappointment and the lady kept insisting they put 2 scoops of chicken. It literally has about a tablespoon of chicken in this big burrito but the beans was a lot. I normally go here every now and then just to get my chicken burrito fix and because I like their green salsa, but it looks like the taco trucks will be getting my business from now on. Don't go here unless you love BEANS!!! read more

Soooo good. They make the best chicken! Get combo meal it will be worth the calories! read more

Pretty bomb place for some grub! Chicken Express has been in this location for as long as I can remember, and always makes for some good eats! Their chicken is tender, juicy, and most importantly very tasty! My go to sides with the family pack are the re-fried beans and Spanish rice, which are both great, and some packages of corn tortillas as well. Can't forget the pico de gallo! This family pack will last you a while, which is awesome if you never tire of chicken like myself, lol. I've never really eaten or ordered inside, mostly just drive thru orders, but I can say that the line moves fairly quickly. I'll definitely be back in the near future! read more

We have been coming here for years, even though it is out of the way. Any time we are driving past Vallejo, we have to stop here. The best thing - the rotisserie chicken. Don't mess around. It is called "Chicken" Express for a reason. I eat rotisserie chicken wherever I can and this one is legit. We get the Family pack (the whole chicken) which includes 2 sides and tortillas. We always get the refried beans, coleslaw and corn tortillas. All solid. It also includes salsa. Get the spicy pico de gallo and the green salsa. Delicious! Yes, sometimes things are missed when you go through the drive through, we always check our bag before leaving. If something is missed, no problem, they are happy to make it right. Have referred many other people to Chicken Express and they all LOVE it. I only wish that they had one in Contra Costa. read more

As soon as you walk in you can smell the deliciousness! Chicken was well marinated, full of flavor and juicy. They have agua frescas that say "fresh", so I asked if it was made "fresh" that morning from a jar full of flavor powder and the lady said they boil the fresh fruit to make it. That's just how a Mexican house would! LOVE it! We had both the tamarind and Jamaica and they both taste like the flavors were extracted from the fresh fruit. The tamarind one you can see and feel the thickness from the pulp. Place looks ghetto because the people eating there and tops could use a wipe down, but food it's actually good. They also have fresh made salsas. A drive thru that always makes picking up anything a breeze. Husband says he has been there before and never gotten sick lol. Give it a try for your self.... read more

Went through the drive through and ordered 10 tacos and a half chicken meal with tortillas. Got home and realized they gave me no sides, no tortillas and no sauce for the tacos. Called to see what I was charged for and they insisted I didn't order the meal. Had them calculate the total and they realized I was charged for the meal. This place fell off. read more

This is simply a great place to go for rotisserie type chicken. The chicken is juicy with every bite. Every time I go there, I totally go for their Chicken Taco Salad and their Chicken tacos. Their taco salads are always generous in size..filled with lettuce, salsa, beans, sour cream, cheese, and sour cream. On the side they give you the chips to eat along this delicious salad. Their spanish rice is just as good and for an extra large size, its only $4.99. Its full of flavor and would have to be the best I've tasted in awhile.On Wednesdays, its taco night and its at a discounted price..I think its 69 cents. Tacos are hard shelled tacos filled with lettuce, cheese, and shredded chicken. I love going to this place but the location..not so much. Been there a few times at night dealing with shady people asking for money...a plus is that this place also has drive thru if you don't wanna get off your butt to walk inside :) Also, every once in awhile in the Valpak coupons or in the Grapevine booklet you get in the mail sometimes in Vallejo, they will have a coupon for this place for their chicken Salad or their chicken. read more

We've been coming here for a long time and the crunchy chicken tacos are good. However, the price has gone up and the size has gone down. Each Crunchy Chicken Tacos is $1.39. I wouldn't mind if the size of the tacos remained the same as before. Also, the filling is not consistent. On some of the tacos it had little lettuce. Service is always great. When they're not too busy, you will get your order fast. In the evening, their drive-thru is always busy. We prefer to go in and order. Parking is small but I always find a spot. read more

Chicken express is a hidden gem in Vallejo! If you know, you know, those who gets it, gets it. Some delicious rotisserie chicken! What's really good is the chicken tacos. Not too pricey as well. I usually come here to buy the family pack of the chicken. Don't sleep on chicken express. Worth going! My go to chicken spot! read more

I usually go here about three times out of the week for a quick taco salad. The food is good. They could work on customer service though not to friendly. When they mess up on your order they treat you as if you did something wrong. When I'm treated badly at an establishment I usually don't go back for a while. So I will just have to do without a taco salad read more

I love the food here !! But they have made some changes lately. The Chicken Sandwiches are now noticeably smaller than a month ago and the price has gone up. On top of that they no longer give refills on any drink no matter the size you purchase. Come on it costs pennies per drink and at $3.00+ per large drink. They just lost my business !! read more

So Delicious Gotta Stop By Here...... Drove by here so many times and every time I drove by always someone was in drive-thru or inside and you know what the word is on that if the place is not empty its worthwhile to give it a try and yes I did. Wow, it's was worth to stop by my food was so good chicken not dried juicy and tender but my my my beans pinto beans love them matter of fact got to go back and get some more pinto beans tender and juicy! If you were like me eye balling this restaurant its worth the stop read more

I've been here a few times and have realized that their chicken meals are okay. There really isn't anything that special about them. I wish they had an option to get some garlic butter slathered on the chicken pieces, because that would raise the bar. Also needs a bit more salt. The things to get are the chicken tacos. I love the crispy tacos, but the real value are the soft tacos. There is a lot more chicken in the soft, because you can naturally fit more chicken in a soft tortilla. I usually do a combo of soft and crispy. read more

I love the chicken taco salad. This is a frequent stop when passing through Vallejo.

Went through the drive thru recently and ordered a super burrito and a handful of tacos. Good stuff! Their tacos are actually pretty big. And the burrito was thick as hell. Pretty good flavor and the girl at the window was nice. I will be back. read more

The service and food are usually good. I have on occasion had a "so so"burrito meaning that flavor was off or there was very little chicken portions inside. However, I just recently had a bad experience. I ordered a customized super burrito but received something other than what I ordered. I didn't get upset about the mix up because mistakes happen but what did upset me was the service I received when I went back for correction of the order. At the window the worker approached and without even asking if I had the original burrito she asks "are you the one with wrong burrito order?". "Yes" I replied. She proceeded to say that without the original burrito they can't just give me a new one and that her manager is the one that made the original burrito. First, how about asking me if I had the original burrito with me (I forgot to bring it back but that's okay and I was prepared to purchase a new one). Next, it doesn't matter who made it because it was still wrong. As if to say because her manager made it then it must have been correct. The foil was marked correctly but the contents inside were a different story. She started to close the drive through window before I could even respond. I said "well we still need to eat and need the burrito regardless". I paid for another burrito and had my daughter check it for accuracy before we left. I didn't appreciate being treated as if I was lying or trying to get something for free. I've been going there for many years and I have never asked for anything that I didn't pay for. Next time I suggest you all not to make assumptions and use a more diplomatic approach to resolve the issue. I've been a loyal customer until now. Smh I trust this place to feed me during the pandemic but they don't trust me when I say they mistakenly messed up my order. How does that work? Do better. read more

Great Food, but this time was not the case because the chicken had a nasty taste and a family member had the same experience. By the way miss the guy cashier that used to wear makeup, and had amazing customer service. Does he still work there, haven't seen him in a while? read more

I generally love this place .. but the last few drive thru experiences hav not been good ! My order has not been rite ! I came across the bridge to get two salads I didn't want it to get soggy so I asked for pico on one and pico on the side on the other and sour cream and beans on the side .. and it comes w ranch ... when I got back home there was no pico on neither salad . There was one squirt of sour cream in the cup on the side .. and a lil tiny side of pico container.. not even 1 ounce.. so basically I had two dry salads for $24 plus gas and toll And when I called them back they told me all they could do was offer me some pico.. and laughed .. as a business owner.. one thing I hate is bad customer service!! We talkin about shredded lettuce the cheapest thing you can buy and serve as a vendor .. the problem should hav been addressed waaay better than that .. I am very disappointed in this establishment Food is good but they can't get the orders right and customer service was the pits !!!!! read more

Meh. Just "a'ight". I was hungry and craving Mexican food as usual. Someone recommended this spot, which is close to Kaiser (where we were). Ordered 2 crispy chicken tacos, a chicken soft taco with sour cream and a regular burrito with chicken w/ re-fried beans and hot salsa. The very first moment biting into the crispy chicken taco was my favorite and the reason why is because it tasted like a taco shell from Taco Bell. After that everything went downhill. Very bland chicken and everything else was as basic as it gets. They left the sour cream out of my soft taco so I had to go in and request it. The gal working didn't trust/believe me and insisted on going through the different transactions to check my order. Had this happened anywhere else it would have bothered me but then it dawned on me that she may have been conditioned to not take my word for it. No problem. Initially I was excited thinking "Wow, this is crazy cheap! How great would it be if this food was amazing!?" Unfortunately this is that situation where you get what you pay for. read more

Food is always fresh and delicious here. The price has gotten pretty up there; expensive. I do like that they have a smaller version of the chicken burrito( chicken burrito jr.).Their portions are sharable unless your greedy like me. The Jr. burrito only has chicken, beans, rice and salsa.. after adding cheese, sour cream and I wanted extra beans (- $1.09) , it was more than the actual Chicken burrito.. I should have just gotten the regular burrito with everything already in it and saved the rest for later, if I knew it was going to be that price.(I feel like the lady taking my order should have mentioned that) Service is also mediocre, they just want your order and move on to the next person wit no personality. Food orders are made pretty quickly; was able to go through drive thru, order, drive back to work and eat within 30 minutes. Chicken tacos are the best with the taco sauce but very small and you have to eat them right away or the taco gets soggy from the juices from the chicken. read more

I have been getting chicken here for 20 years and have really enjoyed it but I have a couple of comments for management 1. Value - not as good as it used to be . I understand food and labor costs have gone up but to be honest if there were an El Polo Loco in town you would have to up your game. 2. In the drive through this afternoon I ordered an eight piece combo . What we got was more like five pieces. Yes I know it was 5:15 and the drive through was busy but never the less we got less than I paid for. In addition what constituted the fourth piece was a chicken leg with half the meat missing and the fifth piece was a mangled of breast meat which was little more than the backbone . read more
