1 chicken (8 piece)
Christine T.

So glad we found this hole in the wall restaurant! We love soup and grilled chicken, el pollo loco and pollo campero could not compare. The workers are really nice and all the food we've gotten have tasted amazing.

James F.

Amazing food and service, would highly recommend this food! Check out this place if you are looking for some good authentic Mexican food.

2 Pieces Chicken Combo with 2 Sides
Jessica S.

Amazing cashier, and great food. This was our first time here, and the prices were reasonable, as well as great variety in cuisine. We ordered a burrito and a chicken combination. The sides were flavorful and the chicken was juicy. We also enjoyed the salsas. The place is small, but cozy.

Weekly specials

I must say the macaroni salad was really delicious. Creamy, and flavorful unlike other comparable restaurants. The charro beans were also flavorful but didn't seem to find the charro in them but definitely good pinto beans de la Hoya. The portions are plentiful and definitely filling. They have good serving sizes and definitely not greedy with the portions. The chicken was also good, juicy,but with that perfect crust on the skin. Had that good mesquite flavor to it. I was also surprised with the variety of options they have from pozole down to tortas and carnitas. Wide selection with different specials through the weekday. The lady at the counter was friendly and my order was handled quickly. This is a good place to eat if you don't know what you're looking for.

This place is really good I like the tortas ! W/ guac and consome bussin... the server is so nice and she has wonderful customer service

Theres a lot of space to get work done too! The baristas were very quick with our relatively large order. The best ones we drank were the banana, strawberry, and corn matcha and the salted vietnamese coffee. The pistachio matcha fell a little short on flavor but still worth it and good!

This was my first time going to Kei! First thing I noticed, the parking is really difficult here,…read moreespecially going in the morning. The coffee house is in a larger plaza with lots of breakfast spots, so its PACKED. But, it makes sense because this place is so popular. Going in, I had no idea what to expect, but this place exceeded any expectations I could've had. The line area was organized and separated from the seating area, the line moved very fast, and the workers were so friendly! They had a large variety of drink and food options, but I ended up getting a hot Spanish latte and a banana muffin. They give you buzzers here which make the waiting process a whole lot less stressful. My drink and food came out quick, but while I was waiting I noticed that thing place has a variety of seating, from couch chairs, to group tables, to low seating outdoors. Everything feels nice and organized and there's so much attention to detail. Keep in mind it is very noisy here from how many people just sit down to hang out, and there's also a bar, which I think they serve matcha at? Now for my food, I got my banana muffin warmed. It's soft, fluffy, packs a lot of banana flavor, and most of all, I could tell it was baked fresh! This isn't one of those cafes that serves mediocre pastries, but will give you a hearty baked good to compliment your drink! My Spanish latte was perfectly hot, with the right touch of milk and spices. Surprisingly, it had a good amount of espresso, but not too much to be overpowering. Overall, my experience here was amazing and I would love to come back to try more of their baked goods! I alsoo really liked their lids, which come with a flippable stopper to keep your drink hot.

I was feeling very nostalgic and craving Tapioca Express so bad - those who grew up Asian in OC…read moreknow this feeling, but there are no more TapEx locations in OC. A lot of chain locations especially the more popular ones fail to produce authentic, nostalgic, Taiwanese style food that satisfies that SEAsian childhood. I went to two different Lollicup locations to give them a try but they kept closing the kitchens on me. I was in a baaaad mode after that and saw Y Tea nearby and decided to give them a try because my sister is obsessed with this place and their garlic fries. I got medium popcorn chicken, garlic fries, mango tea, and a durian avocado smoothie. My bf is a very picky eater, and he loved his mango tea and was obsessed with the fries. I was a little nervous about my smoothie at first bc of the durian but that first sip I took was HEAVEN. So delicious and light and creamy and balanced. My bf finished his drink before the food was done omg. The popcorn chicken was delicious and I could taste that five spice, it took me back to my childhood. It was pretty similar to TapEx - the only thing missing was the whole fried basil chunks. I'm getting hungry typing this review. Also very kind customer service! I already want it all again.

I like this place because they're very fair with their prices and they cover your cravings all at…read morethe same time. The drinks are pretty average, but they're made quickly and fit the sweet tooth well. Fillet Mignon Shaken Beef Garlic Noodles - It satisfied the craving, but it's not exactly the way I like my garlic noodles. It didn't have much sauce and the garlic smell is stronger than the taste, but the amount of beef they give you was sufficient to last the meal. I liked it for a quick craving, but it wouldn't be the pull to bring me back. Filet Mignon Shaken Beef Fries - Fries were very crispy. These were great for sharing and while I came in looking for garlic noodles, the fries kept me happy the entire meal. The place was pretty empty when we got in, but it quickly filled up as well. Families looked like they liked this place because it's easy to have something everyone likes

We also tried the OC Toast, which was really good. The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere with a relaxed and welcoming vibe, making it a great place to enjoy breakfast with family or friends.

Definitely a spot worth checking out, and we'll be back!

I had breakfast at Bandoleros today, and overall, I'd give it 4.5 stars…read more The service was absolutely wonderful! The ladies were prompt, attentive, and welcoming. My server was especially helpful when I couldn't decide between the red and green chilaquiles. She kindly helped me choose both, which I really appreciated. I ordered the chilaquiles with steak, and everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the green chilaquiles. If I could suggest one small improvement, I would have loved a little more green to balance out the red, as the portion seemed to have more red chilaquiles. The coffee was excellent as well, I had the churro iced latte. One other small detail is simply a personal preference: I enjoy having my entire breakfast served on one plate rather than having the beans, eggs, and chilaquiles separated. However, this certainly didn't take away from the quality of the food or the overall experience. The atmosphere was pleasant, the food was flavorful, and the service truly stood out. Overall, I had a wonderful breakfast experience and would gladly return! Definitely worth a visit

Haven't been here in a while and it still hits…read more I got here late (7pm they close 8pm) and they were sold out of most things but I got brisket and short rib with that colossal bone. After trying the neighboring new bbq spot I won't name.. this places brisket is so much better. I love it here, juicy and great flavor. Some fatty bits but that's where the flavor comes from. and this short rib was bomb! The edges were a bit dry but I'm coming at closing time so I get it. FYI short rib is by weight $40/lb so it was about $50 for it. The sides I got were their macaroni and cheese 10/10 tastes home made! Onion rings were ok. Coleslaw is alright. Good for fiber! lol. I do like their beans and the blueberry bread. I love their nachos but they ran out of nacho cheese. Sad! I gota come back!

Sometimes when I order the Pulled Pork sandwich it's on a brioche bun, sometimes it's on sliced…read moresandwich bread. This kind of sums up the level of excitement you get when you come here. This time they were out of beef and spare ribs, but they still had baby back. (We got the last full rack) Sides are $7. Mac n cheese, blueberry cornbread muffins and onion rings are some of our favorites. You get 2 sides with the full rack, no sides with sandwiches. Today they were also out of nacho cheese but I'm not sure what that goes on? There's a dry erase board when you come in that tells you what's sold out. It's fun to chat with the other guests about what they came for and what they settled for. We always get it To Go now although they do have tables available.
