    Hard shell chicken taco with salsa
    Darlene A.

    I remember this place back in the 90s and it's still amazing! When I was little my mom would always get the two whole pollo deals and that would feed all five of us as kids. My personal favorite is the hard shell chicken tacos. And after almost two decades they are still here and absolutely phenomenal.

    The sign "rotisserie chicken" caught my attention, from all the other Mexican restaurants in the area. When you walk in, even though it's a restaurant, you don't get the feeling that you want to sit down and eat. Something about the cleanliness or the dankness of it. Nevertheless oh, there is a young lady behind the counter who is efficiently chopping chicken. I ordered from this young lady has an elderly gentleman is preparing chicken on the other side of the kitchen. Good chicken. Delicious, as a matter of fact. The service is interesting. I speak Spanish, but did not, as I was greeted in English. Another patron came in after me, and "looked" like she spoke Spanish, so waa greeted as such. Her greeting was much friendlier, and more engaging it more engaging than what I was greeted with. Not worth the return.

    Tacos de pollo dorado with salsa from hell

    Good flavored pollo a tad dry but above average...The salsa was hot as hell...the devil himself would be envious buyer beware.

    Very good rotisserie chicken and sides. We've been coming to this location since 97 and never had an issue. That should sum up everything.

    Flavor is easily better than pollo loco and I prefer I over Juan pollo.

    I've been here a few times now and honestly it's become one of my go-to spots. The chicken is…read morealways super crispy on the outside and still juicy inside, which is hard to get consistently but they do it right every time. The spice levels are legit too--not one of those places where "hot" isn't actually hot. I've tried a couple different things on the menu and everything's been solid, especially with the sides. Nothing feels rushed or low quality. It actually tastes like they care about what they're putting out. Also gotta mention the staff--they've always been cool and welcoming, which makes a difference. It's just a good vibe overall whether you're eating there or taking it to go. Not gonna lie, I catch myself craving this place randomly now. Definitely worth trying if you're into hot chicken.

    Been wanting to try this place for a while. I'm a huge Chubby's fan so that is the bar…read more I ordered a #1 combo medium (2 sandwiches and fries) a side of habibi sauce and a side of mac & cheese. The sandwich is decent, chicken is juicy but was very bland even with the cole slaw and sauce. Fries were all over the place, some looked fresh, some looked like they had been recooked a few times. They were also insanely bland, no seasoning at all. The mac & cheese is well, terrible. I don't think there is any real cheese in it at all. It's very watery and honestly a box of Kraft is better and cheesier. I paid 75 cents for a side of sauce and didn't even receive it. My order was not complicated so not sure how that was overlooked. This place has work to do to improve quality. Will not be returning.

The seasoning and spices were all throughout the chicken. I got the three-piece meal and the rice and beans were tasty. Beans had a kick to them. The menu seems limited, but I wasn't overwhelmed with options of combinations. Staff was very nice and helpful. The location was clean. The only thing keeping this from being a five star is, I felt like the price was a little high for what I received. But the quality of the food was very good. For being a fast casual chicken restaurant it's definitely worth a try. I will return.

Went through the DT and received great service. My order: 3 pc. Legs and thighs special (fried) for only $5.99. 1 pc. Empanada, and 1 order of mini churros.. Baybee!! The chicken was fried well, crispy, and so flavorful. The meat inside was equally flavorful and also moist. No dry chicken here. Deliciousness Score: 10/10 Empanada was just ok. It wasn't crispy. The outer shell was soft and they don't have any special dipping sauce for it. Only bbq, buffalo, ranch, ketchup, and cholula hot sauce. Deliciousness Score: 6/10 Mini churros were warm, crispy on the outside, soft inside. Tasted freshly cooked. They were even better than Disneyland. Iykyk Deliciousness Score: 10/10
