I can't rate this place other than a 5 because I'm always here. Partly because it's so close to home but partly because of how good the food is. The chicken is the obvious star. Ribs are usually good. Plantains hit. The carne asada tacos are surprisingly good. We order a taco salad fairly often - always make sure they put the dressing in your togo bag. A hidden gem would be the burger. I'm not kidding. Give it a try. read more

Chicken Fiesta is the go-to for rotisserie chicken in the Richmond area. It's a casual restaurant where you order at the register and sit wherever you please. This location has a drive-thru too. Service is fast either way. The chicken is flavorful and tender, though this past time it was on the saltier side. My go-to sides are the yucca, which is crispy, and the rice, which is fluffy and buttery. I also like to get the fried plantains at an up charge sometimes to add a nice sweetness to the meal. The meal comes with a green sauce that is spicy and a yellow sauce that is creamy. read more

The first time i had this food, it was at a catered event. I thought there was no way the food would be this good in the store. My wife and I stopped in on a Sunday and the food was excellent. Especially the ribs!! This particular store looks like it is in an Old Wendy's so nothing fancy but functional. The staff were nice and they have a lot of options on the menu. So far I have not had anything that was not really good. read more

Not sure what was going on with the fried chicken sandwich tonight. Texture was off. I wasn't able to eat it.

Messed up the drive through order. Horrible customer service when I called to complain. Would keep away from to go and drive through orders.

Delicious rotisserie chicken and that yellow sauce is to die for! Love this place for a quick reasonably priced delicious meal.

This spot never fails!! The chicken is always so juicy and tender. I got a half chicken, yuca fries, and beans. I also got a side of fried plantains with a cream sauce for dessert. Good service too! read more

Chicken Fiesta - Half 1/2 Chicken Yucca Fried Plantains Beans - Tex-Mex Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Drive by these spots every day, and finally made my way into one. Was pleasantly surprised! Felt more homey than what I expected - delicious chicken quesadilla, although I wish I went with something more adventurous as someone else at my table got a huge burrito and another got some huge chicken dish that looked delish. Nothing too special on the interior, gives off fast food/fast casual with a twist. Quick service, appreciated the speed in which my food came out because I was in a bit of a hurry! read more

Chicken Fiesta - chicken quesadilla! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Cheap and flavorful chicken. Would skip the ribs - it was ehhh. We made the mistake of trying different sides and I would say get the yuca fries all the way. Regular fries and rice was not good. Yuca fries stayed crispy after sitting in a bag for 35 minutes. Chicken was very flavorful and such a great value. Can't believe this is considered a fast food joint. read more

I've been eating at this chicken fiesta + the one on brook road for a couple of years and it is still hands down one of my favorite restaurants! Food is freshly made, delicious, and a staple no matter what occasion. I've brought friends and family here and they also love it. Prices are good, quality is insane, and most importantly -- service is great! Always clean and welcoming. 10/10:))) read more

This is some of the best fast food Mexican you can get. I got the steak enchiladas and they were great! Steak was very flavorful and slightly sweet which is complimented with the green and yellow sauce. The rice and pico was good. Not a big fan of the beans. This costed ~$13. Staff was friendly. Definitely a place to come if you want to have fast food Mexican to go! 8/10 read more

The chicken is very tender and tasty it's like a bomb of flavor in my mouth...the frozen margarita is a little sweet and not bitter at all...I really liked the yucca they made...I liked it a lot...I like that they also have DoorDash...I also like the tres leches it's very spongey...I like the quality of the seating is pretty good by Marcus read more

I'd heard about this place for some time and I vowed to visit on my next trip home. So as I drove from a long day one day I stopped here on the way back to my hotel to get some dinner. The guy in the drive-through was extremely friendly and helpful on suggestions for a weary traveler. I decided on the 3 taco platter, with rice and beans. It also included guacamole, Pico, lettuce and sour cream.. It all tasted great and I only made it through about half the platter before saving the rest for breakfast the next morning. Next time I think I'll try the roast chicken, it smelled heavenly as I waited in the drive thru. Thank guys! read more

We are home due to COVID-19 but still want to support local restaurants. We've been ordering in a lot, so we wanted something good and economical. Chicken Fiesta fit the bill. We ordered the full chicken, which came with 2 sides. For sides we ordered rice and beans. We also ordered a side of tortillas and extra sauce. I think all in with delivery it was around $30-35...a total bargain for the quality. Sides are small so plan to order extra or supplement with your own salad or other veg. Everything was tasty and I'm a huge fan of the spicy green sauce. So yummy. Order from Chicken Fiesta and keep everyone busy and your tummy happy. read more

Food is amazing here. I really was surprised as it just didn't seem like it would be but glad they proved me wrong. Service was also really good. The team they have working are very friendly and knew their food. The place is also super clean. We will definitely be back. read more

First time ever trying Chicken Fiesta and although I have tried other Mexican food places this one became number 1 in the list even above the more 'fancy' places. Ambience wise isn't much but the service was fast, efficient and staff was friendly which makes up for it big time. My wife ordered the Taco Platter and she said it was delicious, the meat wasn't dry and the sauces and guacamole were flavorful and well spiced. She really enjoyed her yuca fries even making a little happy 'dance' while eating them. I ordered the Combo of 1/2 Rotisserie Chicken that came with a small side salad, rice, beans and fries (I chose the Yuca Fries), it was all delicious, portions were just generous, the chicken had just enough spice and didn't taste dry at all. The salad was pretty basic but the rice and beans were very flavorful and I enjoyed it throughly. I absolutely loved the Yuca fries, crispy yet soft on the inside, it all tasted pretty fresh. To add to it I have a pretty delicate stomach (Kind of IBS) and Mexican food has always made it very upset which is why I was reluctant to try it until now but this was actually the first Mexican food place that hasn't made me feel bloated or in pain. Price was more than fair for the amount and quality of food. I will definitely visit again! read more

I must say I have neglected Chicken Fiesta for a minute. I had company and they ordered Chicken Fiesta. All of the food was seasoned and prepared exceptionally. Everything was devoured in a matter of seconds. They ordered an entire roasted chicken, fried casava and rice (the rice wasn't great). Everything was so good that I ordered food for myself the day after. I ordered grilled chicken tacos, the grilled chicken breast platter (with rice and red beans which was amazing this time around). I added my own cilantro, but the taco's were very good. I wish they would have allowed me to customize our order in door dash. I would have requested salsa or cilantro, The meat was a little bland, but I still enjoyed my tacos. I can eat many of their dishes for my keto diet, which places them on my protein to go list. read more

A little taste of Mexico! Chicken Fiesta has the most authentic Mexican taste to me! I love their rotisserie chicken it reminds me of my trip to Quintana Roo! The chicken will dance on your tongue and have you longing for more. I usually order the taco salad because I enjoy the crispy fried taco shell loaded with avocados, sour cream , chicken, cheese and fixing. I've never ever been disappointed here. Front the upbeat Latin music when you enter the restaurant to the pleasant cashiers and the smell of chicken cooking on a spit over charcoal! This is the perfect place to get over the weekday blues. Whenever I'm not sure what I want for dinner I always come here. read more

Chicken Fiesta - Interior - Tex-Mex Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I have been wanting to try out Chicken Fiesta for so long, the reviews are consistently good and the menu variety offered has something for everyone. Three of us went and each got something different so we could all try and share. But before we even ordered, we were impressed at how welcoming the staff was, so friendly and eager to answer any questions we had about the menu. This was so refreshing. I ordered the quarter chicken and rib combo, the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and I loved the sauce. The rotisserie chicken is so flavorful, I loved how crisp it was without being dried out. My boyfriend got enchiladas and they were AMAZING. I don't really even care for enchiladas but wow. Our guest had soft shell tacos and they were also amazing. Everything tasted so fresh and the portions were perfect. I can't wait to go back and get my own tacos, there is a lot to try here but I know that will keep us going back. Five star service and fresh tasting food for the win! read more

I ordered through DoorDash. When I received the order the Tres Leches was missing. I called the manager and she said it was in there. The driver said she just dropped off the order. If the restaurant wanted to make it right they should have sent out the two desserts. Total for the dessert was $9. I'm retired and only order out once a week. Basically the manager said call door dash and go away. The food is good if you get it. Service is crappy. read more

The new location (Rt.1 / Parham) opened in the last month. I get why their shredded meat is housed in broth... keep the meat moist. Applaud! My problem is the NOT draining of the liquid, when filling a hard taco.... results in a soft taco. I learned this from the W. Broad location. Get your shells separate. Build your own, unless you want the bottom to fall out of your hard taco. Take out, last week. Asked for the shells to be on the side. We also ordered Chix quesadilla (limp, zero crunch and carelessly filled - fillings not distributed evenly). They did put my two taco shells in a separate to-go container... smushed/broke them to fit. The amount of juice, tomato and onion on the side (as I asked, shells on the side meant chix in a little plastic ramekin) of meat was lacking. Once you strain the liquid... you have enough onion and tomato for one taco shell... if you actually had a taco shell to fill. My fault. I want meat, not filler (tomato, onions and juice) in my hard shell taco. Just a personal preference. So. Maybe do not get hard shell tacos. Maybe do not get a quesadilla if you expect it to be fully and evenly filled... and crispy. Maybe.... Go somewhere else. Go see for yourself, you may love it! read more

The food is good. The place is big, at least, bigger than their very 1st Midlothian location. I gave a low star review because they should get a friendlier cashier. I think her name was Cecelia , but she did not give out a welcoming vibe. Beans were my favorite thing. Probably won't be back. read more

I've been hearing nothing but great things about Chicken Fiesta for years now, and recently got an opportunity to try it out for myself. BABY! This chicken is life do you hear me? So good and flavorful. I almost wish I got a half chicken instead of a quarter. Everything else was bomb as well. The rice, the yucca, and the green and yellow sauces that come with it. No wonder everyone from Richmond raves about this place. Chicken Fiesta is arguably some of the best fast food I've ever eaten. read more

Chicken Fiesta - Quarter chicken with rice and yucca. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This review is based solely on my experience at this location today: I usually enjoy visiting Chicken Fiesta and it's normally pretty good, but today they must have been having an off day. The cashier was kind of rude and short. I had questions about what I was ordering, because I decided to not get my usual, and she acted as if I was annoying her. My chicken and steak was warm, not hot. But my fries were hot. I gave them three stars because I was greeted upon entering and as I left. I don't usually go to this location, and probably won't again. read more

Chicken Fiesta - 1/4 Chicken & Steak 6 oz. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This place happened to be close to our hotel and we noticed it while we were driving and decided to stop. I am so happy that we did. This was some of the best chicken that I've had in Virginia. As a New Yorker I grew up around places that did a great roast chicken but its not something thats super common in these parts. The Peruvian style chicken was so flavorful and the sauces that they give you with it take it up a notch. Why I am giving it 5 stars is due to the friendliness of the staff as well as the value for the money. For less than $20 we sat down and had a great meal that fed 3 people. The food was so good we ordered another meal to go to ear later in our hotel room. read more

The food is so tasty! Also realized there is a drive thru option, which makes everything much more convenient. We got the steak quesadilla and fiesta burger, which were both amazing and we definitely left no crumbs. The green sauce is my favorite has such a nice kick to it that goes great on everything! The yellow sauce is good too. Can't wait to go back and try more entrees. read more

"Their chicken is too good.. perfectly cooked. I came from the tri-state area and I did not see chicken fiesta chain out there.. its famous in this region.. tried it.. they have many options in tacos-burritos-salads-steak-grill and whole chicken. I tried their half chicken and Grill tacos platter. It was great. Chicken pieces were cooked perfectly and they were pink soft. I had rice and beans on sides and they were great in taste too. The ambience was great too... I ll definitely try their other options. def recommended. read more

Perfectly seasoned/roasted rotisserie chicken? Fast service, including a drive-thru (TYVM COVID)? Delicious Mexican stuff like enchiladas, tacos, and quesadillas? All of the Chicken Fiesta locations across metro Richmond are owned by the same family, serving up warm, tasty wonderfulness since at least the early 2010s. Consistent quality, lovely little grace notes like their salsa verde that comes with every order (and I *always* suck down all of it) - all these places are terrific, with this SoCal kid's version of mom-food. read more

I haven't had this since the last time I ran the Richmond Anthem Half marathon back in 2016. I can't believe I forgot about this delicious for the last couple of years. My husband suggested this location when I volun-told him to take me out to lunch. Lunchtime may get super busy - which you know is a good problem for a restaurant to have. There's plenty of parking in the back, but be prepared to do a round or two if needed. Their service is great at getting your order and having the food served as soon as possible. There were plenty of seats inside the restaurant and it smells so heavenly on the way to the restaurant. We decided to split one of their entrees "1/4 of a rotisserie chicken with ribs and two choices of your sides" - we decided on their rice and Yucca fries. It was just as good as when I first tried this spot. The chicken and ribs were the kinds that fall off the bone. The spices were just right on the meats and it was actually my first time getting their ribs - not too bad. I use to get their 1/2 rotisserie chicken and their salmon dish before, never served me wrong. The only thing I regretted about the date was going with the hubby...I forgot how much I didn't like sharing. haha. read more

I've visited this particular location 7925 W. Broad St. quite a few times and the chicken is amazing, very flavorful. The plantins are good, too. Tonight I ordered Chicken Soup which is the best fast food chicken soup I've ever had! Very tasty and filling. So good that I've tried to duplicate the recipe. Mine came out good but Chicken Fiesta was better, hands down. The service is always fast and pleasant. Keep up the good work, Chicken Fiesta! read more

Chicken Fiesta is legend. My girlfriend travels for work on occasion, and when she's in Virginia, I hear nothing but amazing from Chicken Fiesta, so when I joined her in Virginia for a weekend, I was eager to sink my teeth into the food here! We went for lunch on a Friday and as soon as we walked in we saw the chickens grilling and could smell those seasons filling the room! We ordered the following: #3 combo ($10.25) Quarter chicken ($6.75) Yuca fries (approximately $2) Alfajores (didn't catch the price) My #3 combo was the 1/4 chicken and ribs. With the ribs you can choose 2 of the following sides: Yucca fries, rice, beans, salad, coleslaw or tortillas. I chose their coleslaw and beans, and then I purchased a side of their Yucca fries. So what did I think? Man everything lived up to the hype! The chicken was aggressively seasoned, and every bite was moist and flavorful! The ribs were fall off the bone tender, meaty and every bite was delicious. The sides here also were pretty great. The Yucca fries were constantly crunchy, soft in the middle. The coleslaw was a semi sweet slaw that really hit the spot with all the savory meats. Finally, the black beans, which almost were a soup, was also a great choice. I should also note that the Quarter chicken ALSO comes with a choice of 2 sides as well! Rounding out the eats were the Alfajores, which was a type of shortbread flavored with coconut, caramel, and finished with powdered sugar. This taste just as good as it sounds! Located off of West Broad street, there is a decent amount of parking in the Chicken fiesta lot. Interior seating is also a decent size, being able to sit at least 50 hungry folks. I like Chicken Fiesta, the flavors, the smells, and my only complaint is there isn't one in Atlanta. Still, if you're in the area and want a quick bite, definitely stop on in! read more

This is one of two Chicken Fiestas we visit. This is a much more spacious location, housed in what was once a franchised fast food restaurant. As a result, this location also has a vastly superior parking situation. Experience - 5 stars. The staff is always welcoming and the restaurant is always clean. Food - 3.5 - 5 stars depending on visit My wife always has the quesadilla, while I always order chicken. For the sides, I always get the yucca's, which is a starchy root vegetable, similar to a potato. This comes with a mayonnaise based yellow sauce or a hot green sauce. More often than not, we also order maduros (fried sweet plantains). The greatest variability is mostly based on the chicken, and periodically the yuccas. On this occasion, the chicken was a little dry, but the yucca was perfect. We both tried the mango drink, but we disappointed in the watered down concentrated drink. Price - 4.5 - For the most part, everything is priced just about right., although I do personally have a hard time getting my head around a $15 with two side chicken. We've been frequenting Chicked Fiesta for nearly as long as we have lived in Richmond. The visits on the food front always range from good to excellent, which always results in our returning to our favorite chicken spot! read more

Chicken Fiesta is one of my favorite restaurants that I like to visit when I am in Richmond on business. The steak taco platter is fantastic! The meat is marinated and cooked to perfection. Combined with the butter sauce you have an awesome flavor combination. I have taken my team there multiple times and everyone loves it. We on our last visit we tried the chicken and that was good. But the main attraction are the steak tacos. read more
