Complementary chips and salsa

Overall impression: solid rotisserie chicken! Generous portions for the price. Service was friendly! Fireside Chicken and Tacos has a cute 50s diner feel with a Mexican/rotisserie chicken shop twist. This is a counter order establishment: order at the counter and your food will be brought out to you. Please clean up after yourselves! There are stations to return the baskets and throw out your trash. The rotisserie chicken was juicy, and very well seasoned! The meat fell off the bones kind of tender! The mashed potatoes were good, but wish I had a bit of gravy to go with it!

First time coming here and asked the staff what I should try. The guy working was great and gave me a lot of options and told me what he hears. I ultimately chose the three taco combo and a slide of slaw and queso. I chose #12 steak classic, #13 chicken al pastor and #14 chicken pibil. I chose them since they are the three most popular. They were all great, the only thing I didn't like was the pineapple wasn't as sweet as I'd like it but they can't control that. When I'm back in town I'll definitely come back

Smooth criminal burrito!

Been coming to this place for several years and we will continue to come here as long as they are open! We have yet to have a bad experience. Always very friendly and helpful with everything new we've tried. It's always a top spot for a short date night with the wife. Nice and quiet with excellent choices of food. Would definitely recommend a visit if you haven't been. Thanks for many years of great service!!

Yellow Jacket (2) tacos-my staple

I love this place! Excellent food every time I come. I eat here personally, meet other local small business owners to network and often provide meals for first responders using their catering service. I also host a monthly networking group with 40+ participants using their catering menu-I've never had to wait for the large order to be prepared and have always received everything correctly! My friends and local business acquaintances are always pleased with our food. Highly recommend!!

The red sauce is amazing!!!

We were in town for a dance competition and wanted to try someplace different out. This place was next to our hotel so we gave it a shot. The place is in a shopping center next to Walmart. It's a bit on the unkempt side inside. Tables needed wiping down and the service was mediocre. No one was rude at all, they were just ambivalent. We went on a Saturday night around 7 and it was empty. Food was exceptionally fast and hot. The beans were absolutely to die for!! Chips and salsa provided immediately and the salsa was amazing! Most everyone coming back doing were getting to-go orders which could account for the empty tables inside. Overall, would go again if we are ever back in town.

This place is so delicious! I had the half chicken plate with corn and potato wedges. My husband had a burrito bowl and we also shared a Quesabirria Taco. The chicken was the star of the show. It was flavorful, juicy and overall best rotisserie chicken I've had. Even better than Costco chicken!! I can't even tell you how good the salsa and queso is. I dipped my potato wedges in the queso and chicken in the salsa. Amazing!!!

1st time visit based on yelp reviews
Doug C.

Great 1st impression. We came here for lunch before attending a nearby event. Smart for us to depend on Yelp reviews to help us make a choice. Tacos are the featured items but they have other servings. Prompt service and hot food. Warning: don't put the green sauce on your food unless you want the really really hot stuff.

Complimentary chips and salsa

**LUNCH REVIEW** ( 3.5) FIRST TAKE - This is a small mom and pop vibe. Two TVs in the dining area to check out games or whatever local news is on. Good seating for groups of 4-6, and booth seating available as well. You place your order at the counter, pay and then grab a seat. There's a number of choices from rotisserie chicken by the whole or half, wings, a variety of street tacos and even burritos and bowls if you'd prefer something in the lighter side. FEASTING - When you sit down they bring out complimentary chips and salsa, so that was a nice surprise while I waited for my meal (approx. 5 minutes) I ordered the roasted chicken and the classic steak taco. The roasted chicken was just ok. It was lightly seasoned, which is sometimes a good thing, but in this case, a few more shakes would have benefited everyone. The chicken was a little dry, and not as tender as I would've wanted but for the price ($10.99), not bad. It came with potato wedges that were spot on and the fireside slaw which wasn't bad at all. The steak taco came out on a flour tortilla which was a bit tough. Nothing special about the taco, but could tell they have something going for them if you get some good sauce to accompany them. FINAL WORDS - Great place for a quick lunch. Great price point. Would definitely recommend for anyone that wants a quick bite, and get in and out. PRO TIP - Go with a corn tortilla for the tacos. Much lighter and makes for a easier bite.

15. Uptown Chicken Taco 17. Firefighter Shrimp Taco
Nicole G.

Hole in the wall and What. A. Gem. I haven't had a taco I didn't just love! The Firefighter Shrimp Taco was great. Shrimp was seasoned perfect and fresh, not fishy. It was like a shrimp cocktail in taco form. The Uptown chicken taco is a solid, delicious choice! Chicken is not dry and all the flavors just mesh well. I always go back to this one. It's a classic. They have a "taco of the month" and this month is the Yellow Jacket taco. It is amazing!! My fav thus far! It's crispy chicken with cheese, pico, and I can't remember what else but it was greatness. I'm a water drinker so I really appreciate good tasting water out of the coke machine (often, it tastes terrible!). Here, the water is great!

Portions are good, the whole chicken didn't have much flavor unfortunately. The beans weren't flavorful either.

I had lunch with some coworkers at Casa Mama recently, and since I don't spend much time in…read moreRockwall, I enjoyed checking out the cute downtown area. Parking took a little hunting, but that's downtown for you. Consider it a brief appetizer of frustration. Once inside, the restaurant was quiet, and the service was excellent. Our drinks never ran dry, and the chips and salsa runneth over. Both were really good, which made it difficult to remember we had actual meals coming. We also ordered queso, because apparently chips need options. It wasn't my favorite; the flavor was okay, but it was THICK. Less "dip your chip" and more "check your chip's structural integrity." I'd probably skip it next time. On our server's recommendation, I tried the brisket enchiladas. Definitely a departure from the traditional version: the tortillas were filled with mashed potatoes, with brisket on top and sauce underneath. Those potatoes soaked up the sauce like they'd been assigned the job, which made the dish a bit greasy. That said, the flavor was really good. Would I come back? Absolutely. I'd probably explore some other dishes next time, but the friendly service, quiet atmosphere, and steady supply of chips and salsa made this a pleasant lunch. Worth a stop if you're in the area; just leave a few extra minutes for the downtown parking scavenger hunt.

The staff is great and the food is pretty good! Queso is a must and the birria tacos absolute slap…read more The flan was also a hit with our group. The drinks were not that good though.

It's on the smaller size but don't underestimate it! Ben greeted us and told us we could sit anywhere, we found our seats and ordered drinks and appetizer. My husband had a Mexican Coke and I tried the happy hour house margarita. It was made fresh by hand! It was so good. Perfect balance of flavor. I also enjoyed their jalapeno margarita. For app we got the queso blanco which was flavorful and delicious and we enjoyed the hand made chips. For entree we ordered the steak fajitas and omg they were the best steak fajitas we have ever had and their beans are black beans and so yummy. So I have to give props to back of house Emmanuel and Kendall. I know it sounds like i'm affiliated with them, but I assure you I will just leave a great review when it's deserved!

Instead told us the online menu shows the new prices. But that's irrelevant since we agreed on menu prices when we ordered. For these prices, I would've expected better service. It took almost 35-40 minutes to get our first dish. Then another 20 minutes for the 2nd dish since they forgot it. Made it up by giving us free dessert which is fine. Birria tacos were okay, nothing special. Birria Ramen was better. One of the waiters didn't seem to know what belongs to what. Had to keep asking for help. Almost gave us the wrong item twice. Seemed a bit disorganized. Ambiance was okay. Felt like any typical Mexican restaurant. Nothing memorable.

The place is a small storefront with a walk up counter, everyone is super friendly as well. The biggest thing you'll hear is this place is expensive but it's well worth the price. The quesadilla is HUGE and comes with rice and beans. The medium plate is sufficient enough for 2.5 people and everything is fresh. Everything comes with hot salsa and fresh chips. The margaritas are a nice touch and come bottled for easier to go convenience. Overall this place is great for quality ingredients and well worth the expense! P.s. get the jalapeño ranch.

You can tell they use the highest quality ingredients and everything was absolutely TOP TIER. The tortillas were so fresh and delicious. The creamy jalapeno sauce, guacamole, salsa, and queso were all PHENOMENAL as well. This was the perfect selection of dips for the thin, crispy, perfectly salted, chips! All of the proteins I tried (fajita steak and fajita chicken) were SO tender, well seasoned, and the ancho chili butter really set it all off!! I think my favorite snacks of the night were the empanadas and the beef picadillo tacos. The empanada crust was so flaky and buttery and the picadillo filling was so savory and absolutely PACKED with flavor! This is hands down the best Tex-Mex I've had in a LONG time! They need to bring a location to Frisco ASAP!! In the meantime, I'll just be counting down the days until I have an event that I can hire them to cater for. If you're blessed enough to live by their brick and mortar, or need Tex-mex catering, check them out, and enjoyyyy!!
