    Ok, we have had the chicken and it's good! It's super flavorful and it's just good! I don't know... it's those things you just have to try for yourself and you will Understand. But.... Thats not all. We love their works breakfast burrito. I don't know why but it hits the spot. Chorizo, sausage and bacon.... Mmmmm it's just good! For the price and the size, can't beat it! And I also get their Dino fries and it's their seasoning! I don't know what they use but it's just bomb! And the ranch!!! Oh my! It's all just good comfort food! You just have to try it! It's not a big spot...it's small but the staff is super friendly. Downside: no public restroom

    The special marinade/sauce that goes on the grill chicken.

    Dino's Famous Chicken is an old school family-owned Los Angeles restaurant establishment in 1969 known for its Greek and Latin-inspired charcoal-grilled chicken plate. Their signature dish: charbroiled chicken on a bed of fries, soaked in a special marinade and sauce. Comes with coleslaw, corn tortillas; and salsa upon request. If you order the grilled chicken plate, I recommend getting the special marinade on the side; therefore, you can control how saucy you like it. Otherwise it's over powered by sauce in my opinion. I wasn't a fan of their signature dish. Chicken was too dry. Breakfast, char-boiled burgers & hot dogs, plus Mexican-American fare are also available. Next time, that is what am sticking to! Service is great. Restaurant is very clean inside.

    Fair Pricing. Chicken has a zesty unique taste and pairs good along with sides. The DUI fries are also worth it for what you pay for. Customer service was great and wait time was not too bad.

    So I was out this way and I had tried this place out in LA once with a friend. So in this round I was with my coworker and we decided to give it a try. We both ordered the chicken but she got her chicken without the vinegar sauce on the chicken but I got mine on it. I wish I got the chicken without the sauce and on the side like hers. It still was good but yeah I don't like my chicken overly saucy. I'd prefer dipping into a sauce. The chicken was tender and tasty and we both finished our meal. I got the onion rings hoping it would be the bomb too but it fell short. It wasn't seasoned well nor did it taste great or even good. I ended up tossing that into the trash. They have their own parking lot but if full they have street parking. Service was fairly quick. The place was kinda clean and many open seats to sit inside and a couple of seats outside if you wanted to sit outside.

    When in my hometown, I have to stop and buy their charbroiled, delish, spicy chicken, beans and rice to bring home; it is so good. Also their freshly charbroiled burgers are some of the best I've ever had. Great customer service and always clean in the restaurant.

    Nice mom and pop establishment I have had there famous chicken delivery per grub hub and never really disappointed. So I decided to come in, nice cozy and clean. Two tvs going. Counter staff very friendly my wife was curious about the pastrami. She was worried it was to salty. One of the counter staff gave her a small taste nice customer service right there. Wow the pastrami casadilla was huge talk about a meal my wife had a bright smile. My wife said it tasted great. With a small side salad with lettuce a tomato purple onion slices and dressing My choice was a wet burrito carne asada green look great. Asada coooked well well packed with chips surrounding the burrito. Sauce covered the burrito Plating on both was great. Grabbed a side of fries shoe stringish request no salt and they obliged. Good amount of fries. For being a long time establishment they have updated POS andq great menu. Let me start this way. Price to product = 9 Customer service = 8 Plating = 8 Food(taste, quantity) = 8 Cleanliness = 7 I will come in more often worth the time, Good mom and pop. I won't dis for no public restroom because they have 2 signs letting you know.

    Full menu + pricing.

    It's in the name of the restaurant. Dino's Famous Chicken is nicely prepared and very flavorful when you add the marinade juice over your meal or the marinade can be used as a dip. Presentation and taste 10/10. Absolutely no complaints on the chicken. I was a little disappointed with a pastrami sandwich I also ordered . I specifically asked for the meat to be cooked on the flat grill for that next level flavor but unfortunately did not get what I was expecting. Maybe there was some miscommunication but next time I'll be "very" specific. Meat flavor was good. Zucchini fries were as expected. Staff was very polite and friendly.

    I'm sure there has been many reviews done on Dino's it's a classic staple if you are anywhere in LA you have had or at least heard of Dino's. It has been years since I been to the original location and was driving down telegraph in Pico Rivera and to my surprise I saw it had my brother stop immediately and I had to get some chicken. Flavors just but brought back so many memories and woke up every single taste bud. Chicken in the chicken juice is phenomenal. I ordered the plate with fried rice and beans it was delicious. Service was great they were friendly place was clean and neat. I would have given it a perfect 5 but they don't have a customer restroom and that's a big no for me specially I'm usually with my lil ones who as soon as we walk into a new place need to potty. Besides that everything is great I would probably just do pick up so I can be more comfortable.

    I came during lunch time and it was packed. The host was so sweet and handed us some menus to look…read moreover while we waited for our entire party to arrive. Once we were ready she had our table already prepared. We have to order inside first before you can be seated. Once seated our food came out not too long after. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We ordered the chilaquiles verde, short rib omelette, tropical pancakes (seasonal), and the mango curd french toast (seasonal). The chilaquiles verde was savory and tangy. It wasn't soggy at all and definitely one of my favorite dishes. The short rib omelette was savory but didn't give me any wow factor compared to the other dishes I ordered. The tropical pancakes were so pretty. I only tried a piece of it without the syrup which I think was a mistake because the kumquat syrup was my friend's favorite. I definitely need to try it again with the syrup. Best for last, mango curd French toast was my favorite! I fell in love with sweetness and tanginess of the mango curd. The French toast was soft and you can taste the butter. I wish it was a main menu item. I'll definitely be sad to see it go. They have lots of seating inside and outside.

    Dining While Black…read more Location- Great setup, half indoor & outdoor. I was curious about the level of accessibility and clearer directions on where to stand when the line passes the framing of the restaurant. But Great Downey location! Diversity score 1-5: 1.5 As a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the workplace professional, in order to garner financial success of any business is to be intentional about representation in your business. Money is green and people of all backgrounds have access to it. In an effort to reach a larger marketplace, your staffing is the first step towards reaching financial goals and attracting more business. Diversity is not just about color but it also includes accessibility for the handicapped community, Braille menus, and possibly more signage that displays the type of service a customer can expect. Please contact me for consultation services. Service/Ambiance/Environment: The service is where my issue lies. I did appreciate that as we were waiting in line to enter, we were given menus to assist in deciding what we wanted before we reached the inside. The cashiers were both super nice and even offered a taste of the Rose' slushy which was phenomenal. When ordering at the register, the sweet service was continued and we chose where to sit. It was bright and busy inside and we sat right in front of the expo station. I was truly enjoying the environment and it had me reminiscing of my brunch days in New York City. My guest and I were chatting and enjoying our Mimosa's and then my guests food arrives first. Not that it matters but in service certain things do and the female presenting person SHOULD always receive their food first. That was a surprise to me but I didn't read into as I expected my dish to arrive right behind. It did not. My guest and I continued to chat and sip until 20 mins later, as I'm watching dishes leave the expo station, did I say "where is my food?" The young server at the expo turned and rolled their eyes and then finally gave me my food. This was a buzz kill. I only went down a rabbit hole about it until I noticed I was the only Black person present. First, why would it ever been ok to not have dishes arriving to tables separately without saying "ma'am we're a little behind.." or to my guest "do you mind if we hold your dish a bit so we can make sure the food arrives together?" Being a previous server in high pace restaurants, communication, apologies, and ensuring perfect service is the goal. Poached is not a store front or even a little diner type of place. It's a casual, upbeat, bright breakfast/brunch spot. And yes, on busy days things happen but to not offer a reason, or apology, and giving the customer attitude is unacceptable. Food: The description of the food is well written. The prices are reasonable. I ordered the short rib omelette with whole grain toast and house potatoes. When I Finally received my food it looked great and I was eager to dig in. A first bite of the omelette I was sadly underwhelmed. The seasoning left much to be desired and it seamed to be more of a birria short rib flavor and I thought I chose the dish based on being excited about the combination of meat and cheese (which was barely there). I enjoyed the bread and potatoes more than the omelette. Go again score 1-5: 2 I really think this restaurant and it's operation needs some massaging, the cooks need to be trained, and a REAL chef needs to help improve the quality and taste of the food.

Although there is parking in the front, it's very limited. We later found there is much more convenient parking in the back, which I definitely recommend using. As soon as you walk in, you can tell it's a family-owned, mom-and-pop restaurant. Even though the dining area is small, it feels warm, welcoming, and comfortable. It also seems to be a favorite among the locals, which is always a good sign. The service was excellent. The staff frequently checked on us, kept our water glasses full, and happily accommodated my fiancée's special request for her meal. The food was fantastic. My fiancée ordered the Wet Burrito without the cheese on top. It came with chips, and even though they were in the sauce, they somehow stayed crispy throughout the meal. She loved every bite. I ordered the chicken and waffles with whipped cream and strawberries. The chicken was fried to perfection--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and well-seasoned throughout without being overly breaded. The waffles were delicious and paired perfectly with the toppings. We also shared a biscuit with gravy. The biscuit was soft, fluffy, and moist enough that it honestly didn't even need the gravy. That said, the gravy was rich, flavorful, and not overly salty, making it a great complement. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. The food, service, and atmosphere all exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend giving this place a try--and don't forget to park in the back!
