Food truck review: food was delicious and portions were a generous size. Ordered the Flamin Fries, 4 sliders combo and flamin elote. The sliders were not small at all! I actually got full with one. The flamin elote was definitely unique but I prefer the flamin fries. They do charge for extra sauce, I wish we got at least 1 extra sauce with our combo order. 10/10 read more

This is it chief! The top of the chicken pyramid! These sandwiches are memorable and flavorful! I love how the combo comes with top notch corn. Bunch of pickles to add at your pleasure. I loved the sandwich and every bite I had here. Amazing experience. read more

This is by far the freshest tasting hot chicken sandwich I've had! In comparison to bitter chains like Dave's - this truck definitely has a better crisp and freshness. The fries are also super good and cooked to perfection! My only feedback is there isn't a cheese option, so if I had the option to throw cheese on it would be perfect! The flamin heat level is perfect for those who like an extra level of spice but not unbearable! Definitely will go back! read more

I love this place since the first time I went there so I decided to leave a review. Although one time a worker was rude but I spoke to the owner and I heard it was resolved, in my opinion they have one of the best hot chicken places in the valley! Absolutely delicious. read more

Flamin Hot Chicken - 2 delicious flamin hot chicken sandwiches w/ 2 sides of their corn topped with flamin hot cheeto bits - Chicken Shop Near Me - Lake balboa , California

I waited more than one hour for a regular plain sandwich, and it was still spicy. I assume a one hour wait is quite long especially when it's lined up at a university, but I at least expected to have my order done correctly. I tried to use leftover sauce to mask the spice, but that stuff hurt. read more

I got the sliders with the side of elote. I ordered them mild because I'm a wimp. The buns were really soft and the tenders had enough of a kick for me. The elote was delicious! I'll be back for sure. read more

They've got the bessssssst Nashville hot chicken I've ever tried...What makes them different is the tender juicy chicken.

Always willing to take care of you right away and wants to make sure you enjoy your experience. Ohhhhh pleaseeeeeee listen when i say You can't leave this place without trying their FLAMIN fries!! read more

Flamin Hot Chicken - FLAMIN fries!! I always have to get this- it's sooooo damn good. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Lake balboa , California

Got the 4 sliders (Flamin & Death Row), 5 tenders (Flamin), Flamin Fries (Death Row), Corn elote & 2 Dr Peppers. The sandwiches & tenders were tasty, the breading on the chicken is thin and crispy. The flavor of the Flamin is a medium spicy but if you're a spicy lover, I'd suggest the Death Row. It's got great flavor and a good kick. The French fries alone are pretty bland and boring but the Flamin fries were tasty. The Elote Corn was delicious. This is a to go, pop up location? There aren't any tables to sit. I suggest leaving the bags open and holding them while driving home so they don't get soggy. Prices are fair and the guy was patient and helpful. read more

The truck was recently in my area so I figured I'd give it a try. For the truck, you do not order on their website. I walked up and found a touchscreen to use to order. While I appreciate the "non-contact" I wish there was some sanitizer left out because the touch screen didn't seem properly cleaned or maintained-- probably because there was only one person working on the truck. Just something consider during these COVID times. Combo #1 - The chicken was just okay. Even after ~7 minutes in the to-go box it had lost some of it's crunch already. It was borderline dry and desperately needed the cole slaw. Seasoning-wise it was average. The "Mild" spice level wasn't too spicy, and I'm usually pretty sensitive to spicy foods. As a chicken sandwich, it was lacking in a lot of ways, especially compared to other spots in the area not named Howlin' Rays. The elote was basic and nothing special-- literally canned corn topped with mayo, what looked like paprika, and processed parmesan. At least when you get elote on the street there's a smoky char that makes a huge difference. Combo #3 - More of the same, except the chicken was chopped up. At least with the fries and slaw there was some kind of texture. The sauce on top was the saving grace, to be honest. In all, it was average at best and a bit overpriced. read more

All I can say is delicious! I ordered the Flamin' Fries (without the pickles and coleslaw), and it was perfect. The chicken was perfectly cooked, seasoned and as juicy as it gets. The fries were perfectly cooked and crispy as well. Staff were very friendly. Glad they came by my work today-can't wait to have them visit again! read more

This spot is super legit - Top tier from the streets to a brick and mortar. This is Dave's Hot Chicken pre Drake money, absolute gem on the come up. Will enjoy this local spot as long as it's accessible, it's damn good chicken read more

The portion size is so small that it would leave Stuart Little starved. Coleslaw was edible

This place is close to work so I gave it a try. I chose combo #1 which comes with two sliders and elote and pickles. Food was decent and cashier was friendly (that's why it got two stars).... until I found a piece of hair in the slider (gross) Will not revisit.. Side note: Area is a little sketchy... wouldn't recommend visiting late. read more

We tried this place via their food truck outside our hotel while visiting LA and it was open late at night as well. While it first felt a bit pricey just for sliders, the portions were quite large and the sliders were more like actual chicken sandwiches. Each order could easily serve two people at least. The hot chicken sliders were spicy and packed with the flavor of the flaming sauce. We enjoyed the sides as well. So glad we ran into the food truck and hopefully next time I'm in the area, I can try out the place too! read more

It had two good size chicken sandwiches. Very fast service and friendly staffs! Recommend get that since its one of the best fried chicken sandwich! read more

Their ordering system sucks! You place your order on a screen and have the option to pay via card or with the cashier, but the cashier has no clue what order belongs to which customer. I know because the my order, after receiving a text message, was handed off to someone else. So in the end, I finally got my order and a free order of fries, because the cashier was like a deer caught by headlights... lost. read more

Had this when it was posted outside Frogtown. Ordered the 3 piece mild tenders and their fries. Tenders: cooked okay, but way too salty. Even without the sauce Fries: dont think the oil was hot enough. Theyre not crispy at all, and also too salty. read more

BEWARE THEY WILL ROB YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION AND MAKE ILLEGAL PURCHASES. DO NOT GO TO THIS FOOD TRUCK I cannot comment on the owners post but all I know is my card was used several Times at the petco target and she'll after visiting this location. So you tell me what happened. I don't live in this area. read more

This is as far as I got with their Devil's Rejects Challenge sliders that I ordered through door dash. Seriously, if you're not a pepper head- this is not for you. I called the store to ask what they used in their hottest sauce and sure enough, the answer was Carolina Reapers. Before I finished my first bite I had hiccups. Had a few more bites and it was hands down the hottest thing I've ever had. Mouth has been on fire for 20+ minutes and my body is still trembling. If you want the FIRE, this is it. Their fries were garbage, but the person I spoke to over the phone was super nice and they delivered more heat than I was expecting. 5 stars. Keep it up FHC. read more

I ordered the single sandwich combo on Postmates the other night. I was really excited because it was exactly what I was craving: a chicken sandwich and esquite! But I was disappointed when it arrived. The esquite wasn't very flavorful, so I added tajin. I could tell the corn came from a can cause I had an aluminum aftertaste. I figured since they focused on two main items they would be an expert at it. I was so disappointed that they didn't use real corn for their side dish. The sandwich was decent and had a good amount of flavor, so I decided to give them a 3 star review cause their chicken was okay. read more

This place just opened up 3 weeks ago inside of the pre-existing Pizzaholic restaurant. We ordered the #2 combo--2 chicken tenders on toast with cole slaw and pickles and a side of esquites. We went for "mild" which still had a nice kick to it. Drinks are $1 (yay!) and service was fantastic. Really friendly people working there that made sure we had everything we needed. We left full and happy! read more

The sauce was good. The items were a bit over priced in my opinion and food was hella salty. Also the combos didn't come with a drink, for 15.99 that's kind of ridiculous. There is no parking so we had to park on the side of the road with cars whizzing by and it's basically a food stand outside of the building with no where to sit. read more

This food truck came to SpaceX today. Wanted to try their chicken tenders. Saw the reviews and figured it would be good. Our lunch is 30 minutes long. They took 25 minutes to do my order with 5 people in front of me. I ordered to the tenders and they gave me a chicken sandwich. Didn't have time to exchange it. This is what they gave me. Worlds smallest chicken tender. Flavor wasn't even good. Don't waste your time or money. read more

The chicken here amazing. I'm completely serious-they could probably start a cult centered around the chicken from this truck is and and they'd have me: hook, line, and sinker. Every time I have a chicken sandwich from this truck it takes so much self-restraint not to go back for a second or even a third-I've seen other people walk away with 3 at a time!! I seriously have to commend the cooks because every item on their menu is great-even their coleslaw! Let me tell you-no chicken spot is that great unless it has some amazing coleslaw-you NEED to try it. Maybe I just exaggerating, but I seriously think this is a great food truck-the portions are great, the food is delicious, and the service is top of the line. read more

Pros: They serve elote and it's pretty good Good spice levels Chicken has a decent skin Cons: I didn't really care for their sauce the tender size isn't that great Sides are kind of small read more

Pretty new so I decided to give it a try, chicken is nicely breaded/seasoned flaming hot was perfect heat lv for me, cool spot will definitely come back read more

I could tell walking up that this location is still being renovated so not very easy on the eyes. Friendly staff made me feel better about the aesthetics. I got the 2 chicken slider combo with corn. The sliders were so good I contemplated turning around for another order since the locations is not close to me. The chicken is juicy and packed with flavor. highly recommend this spot!! read more

My son found this place on yelp so we decided to stop by and check it out and im glad we did. Gerry was working and was very kind to my 9 yr old. Nobody was around and he gladly walked us through the menu. My son loves spicy food and he helped picked the perfect amount of spice for his food, i cant handle spicy food unfortunately so it was entirely for my son. We ordered the tenders plate topped with the spicy thousand island with elote on the side and was very happy with our purchase, thank you and hopefully my son will come back with some of his baseball buddies after the game to enjoy some good food and service. read more

Okay so I got hyped when I saw this place has 5 stars and I'm a newbie to trying new places. I must say it's an overall 3 star joint ! Maybe a Iil bit pricey for the portion they serve in my opinion . The corn is good but if you're Mexican you know your corn. This one is sweet and good ! The chicken sandwich taste a lil bit like KFC chicken Lil. My French fires were a bit cold but that could of been my fault they have good flavor tho... I'm just being honest , hope you guys adjust your prices and serve more original meals ! Good luck opening a new business guys. hope for the best. read more

Damn...so I'm in Van Nuys never, finished filming with a client and used Yelp to find something and lo and behold a 5 star chicken sandwich place popped up. Yeah only 43 reviews but I love spicy and I like chick-Fil-a and raising canes so i said sure why not... What I didn't expect was there not being an actual location and since I don't live around here they do have a drop off spot in a Big Lots parking lot. Say what??? Lol ok...anyways after sitting for about 10 minutes watching playoff basketball on my phone sure enough comes a car and a delivery. Felt like an old school 90's drug deal lol. Long story short...it was freaking awesome. Got the next to highest level of spicy which was perfect for me, the corn was bomb, and the Balance and texture of everything was sooooo perfect. I don't think I'll ever be back here again since I live in OC but I'll always remember the chicken deal in the parking lot :-) Epic stuff...thx guys!!! read more
