    1/4 Dark Charbroiled Chicken
    Jenny H.

    I came into town for a conference. Looking for a quick bite but not fast food, I found this place on yelp. Though the rating was 5 stars, there were only 5 reviews, so with slight hesitation I decided to check it out anyway. As soon as we walked into the door, we were early greeted and was given a menu. The cashier was friendly and helpful. I decided to order the quarter chicken with two sides choosing cilantro rice & fresh vegetables as well as horchata. Once ordered, we were given a number and sat down for our food. It's a small place with 4 small tables and a few counter seats. There are also outdoor seating. The food was quickly brought to our table and we enjoyed our meals. I liked the Peruvian chicken and the sides. It is flavorful and for me is enough. Because I ordered dark meat, the protein is smaller. Next time I probably would go for the white meat or half chicken. Everything was tasty and I paid less than $13 which nowadays is reasonable. The horchata had the right amount of sweetness and cinnamon. The cashier was friendly and came over & checked on us. Overall a good place for a quick bite. I would likely come back and try other offerings.

    Chicken Alfredo

    Food is very delicious and their Chicken Alfredo is better than Olive Garden. Customer service is always top notch and very pleasant when I go there.

    The food is great, very fresh and flavorful. My father and I dined in because I was craving Peruvian chicken. I got the 1/4 white meat with two sides or french fries and Cilantro rice while my father got the same entree but with fried rice and fresh veggies. The entrees and all four sides were delicious. Staff was also very friendly, I highly recommend.

    I have been meaning to try this place for a while now. Finally stopped in this week and was pleasa tly surprised! I will definitely be back. Probably many times! I had the quarter chicken with vegetables and cilantro lime rice. The rice was amazing. My husband got the whole chicken witht the same sides so he could make a couple meals out of it. He equally enjoyed it and the value wasn't bad.

    Everything was fresh and delicious. Steak burrito bowl was one of the best I've ever had. Great new spot! We'll be back.

    Amazing flavor. Awesome deal to get a half chicken and two sides for the price. Could eat half and have a whole other meal

During a busy week I stopped by to grab and go. While customer service was a bit gruff considering it wasn't busy, the food was delicious! Of course no white glove here, but when I asked for a receipt, it wasn't itemized and was charged 'one comida'. I've not been to their restaurant but had I known, perhaps price points are at least shared. The truck itself is clean, has a picture board and options posted, and marked clear of other locations. We chose two orders of quesabirria (half/4pcs), an order of chicken flautas (5pcs), and a gordita al pastor. Quesabirria is meaty hefty and cheesy loaded, consome on the side! The flautas was crispy and packed with shredded chicken, and the rice and beans were seasoned well. The lettuce were not limpy at all lol! I took a bite out of the al pastor and the ratio of protein and pineapple was money. Esooo, fuego! Not a cloud on this stone, Taqueria Los Jarochos food truck is a diamond on Ritchie Highway. Easy to bypass, they're staged in front of a red and black building, next to BoA, opposite side of HP Racing. Pull up and get some food truck grub and grab a spot at the picnic tables!

On multiple occasions, we had to ask for basic things like utensils because they were forgotten, and servers didn't check on the table as often as they should have. The food also took longer than expected to come out, which felt unnecessary given the type of restaurant. My main issue, though, is the pricing. The food is very expensive for what you get, and the prices don't feel reasonable or justified. On the plus side, the drinks are actually really good. Overall, it's not a bad place, but between the slow service and high prices, it's hard to say it's worth it.

I initially placed my order on GrubHub, but found out once I arrived at the establishment that they do not partner or work with GrubHub, which is unfortunate because you're still able to order from them on GrubHub. It was easy to cancel my order so I could get a refund and I just ordered with the gentleman at the bar. The service was quick and friendly hence two stars. I ordered the flautas which are rolled chicken tacos that are fried and topped with lettuce, cheese, crema, pickled jalapeños, and pickled red onions as well as an order of guacamole that comes with chips. The flautas were just ok as most of their flavor came from the pickled vegetables as the chicken tasted unseasoned. The guacamole was old with a lot of brown on top with very soft onions and tomatoes, which tells me that it wasn't made today, even though their menu states that it's made fresh daily. I scraped the brown part off to try and salvage the parts that were fresh as I really wanted to try it and I was starving. The guacamole was very underseasoned as the only thing I could taste in it was the avocado. The chips were stale. My meal came to a total of $28.62 with tax. $14 for the guacamole and $13 for the flautas. Needless to say I won't be back.

    Friends treated us to dinner and they let me pick the place. I asked, "do you guys have any taco…read moreplaces except taco bell?" Boatloads of people enjoy taco bell but I've become a snob over the years. I'd much rather have a street taco or something made by someone who isn't slopping ingredients around a kitchen that has more cheese on the floor than linoleum. My friend consulted the internet and came up with el Pilar, which turned out to be a total homerun. I got a chicken burrito bowl and ate on it for three wonderful days. The house made tortilla chips are probably the best I've ever encountered. And the side order of guacamole was heaven. Jeremy had some kind of shrimp and beef nachos with a creamy pinkish sauce that were out of this world. Other food was consumed and all of it a taste sensation... I was just too busy in my own burrito bowl space to pay much attention. I'm pretty sure the meal won us all over to el pilar!

My favorite meal is the chicken flautas with double rice and my husband gets the combination plate with rice and beans.

The employees are always friendly and the food is always delicious.

I so love yelp! I saw the pictures of what the restaurant looked like inside and not for those pictures, I would not have went just from looking at it outside. English is their second language and I am okay with that when it comes to food because that means the authenticity meter goes up. My friend had a ride before me and was sitting down with chips and salsa when I arrived. The restaurant was clean but also had a homily feel which I appreciated. After a few minutes the waitress had not returned so I jumped up to grab a menu and decide what I wanted. The menu was in Spanish but had pictures. That with my bad Spanish allowed me to order but I wanted. After some questions I decided upon two carne asada tacos, traditional. Easy, right? Yes! Those were the best tacos I have had in a long time at a restaurant. To meet with tender and there was not a lot of fat or hard in digestible pieces. The salsa verde was spectacular! I wanted to steal it but I kept my composure and remains classy and left it on the table. I actually really enjoyed my food. Must order the napoles and to it with both green sauces.

Once inside the venue, the sweet smell of flavors from across the southern border had all my senses awakened, what came after was just pure bliss in every bite I took of the lamb taco, the lengua taco, the roasted pork taco and the el pastor taco. I was immensely delighted at the idea that they had a great selection of soups to include the seafood soup ( very close to a cioppino). Why 4 out of 5 then?? Well they don't serve alcohol...yet? A good cerveza, a minty mojito and a grandma margarita would definitely make this place a slice of Mexico in our backyard.
