Rotisserie chicken is a beautiful thing, but then their mesquite-borderline-smoking of the birds just takes it to whole nother level. Not only are these some huge-ass (most likely roided out) chickens, but who is complaining when they're this juicy & flavorful??! THEN they take all the best components of Latin and Mediterranean cuisine, and sprinkle a little Soul up in the mix. Their salsa roja was great with an actual kick, can't ever go wrong with jalapeño crema, the chimichurri one of the best we've had, and they actually managed to nail the toum garlic sauce. Incredible and so unexpected! Don't get me started on the sides. Well, to be fair, we had to boil it down to just 2 for the Family Meal. But what impressed us even before ordering were the options they offered. Wanna keep it "Americano"? Mac & cheese, cole slaw, with potato salad. South of the Border? Rice & beans! We opted for the latter and were super happy with our choice. Two simple things very easy to not do well, but they are not an afterthought here. Refried mostly whole kidney beans but so deliciously creamy. Rice is tasty, tender, and moist. THE FRIES! A legit mountain of super yummy hand cut papas that reheat extremely well. We were well-fed for days!!! An enormous amount of amazing leftovers that made many tasty meals. They have a lot of other exciting things on the menu that we hope to try soon. This family is clearly very ambitious, passionate, and talented at their craft. BRAVO.

Nestled away in a deeply uninspiring part of town is La Granja Rotisserie…read more Located at the corner of 59th Place and Crenshaw, it fills the air with the wonderful scent of wood fired rotisserie chicken. We each had the rotisserie chicken bowl and here are the results: Me: I thought it was damn delicious and expertly flavored. Wife: "It's good, but it's too salty." We also had the fries. Nothing special about them, but seasoned well and highly addictive as it turned out. The menu itself seemed pretty good too. There's steak, breakfast choices and a few other things that we'd like to try if we are ever in this neck of the woods again. The service: The woman at the counter was sweet and somewhat attentive. Service with a smile. She was nice. The place itself has a charm to it. It's very clean and there is ample seating inside as well as the outdoor patio, which would benefit from a revamp to the existing artificial flora that adorns the fencing. The restroom is very clean.

I love jerk chicken, and Tev's has what might be the best jerk chicken I've ever had. It's not your typical fall-off-the-bone style.

High-quality ingredients, great portions, and absolutely worth the price. The patio out back is great too. It has that big family backyard gathering kind of feel. Will I be back? Absolutely. My only complaint is that I don't live closer. I'd come every single week if I could!

When we visited LA last year, our son recommended Howlin' Ray's and we really enjoyed the food at…read morethe Pasadena location. This time, we decided to try the Chinatown location since the traffic going toward Pasadena looked terrible. This location is pretty small and doesn't really seem set up for dining in. It feels more takeout-focused, although they do have some tables outside so we sat there. They didn't have the Mild+ spice level that the Pasadena location offers so I ordered two Mild and one Medium chicken tenders. I also got a side of collard greens after seeing several reviews recommending them. I felt like the spice level was higher at this location than at the Pasadena one. Even the Mild was definitely spicier than I remembered! It still had really good flavor, though. I also really enjoyed the collard greens and was glad I decided to try them. I'm not sure if it's just this location or if all of their locations do this now but they also gave us bottled water for free, which was nice. One thing I really liked about the Chinatown location was the parking. There's a huge parking lot across the street so finding a spot was easy. I prefer the Pasadena location for dining in but its parking lot is very small and finding a spot can be difficult. We'll definitely go back to Howlin' Ray's when we visit LA again next spring. We just haven't decided which location we'll choose next time!

I stopped in to grab a bit before heading to a show at The Forum…read more It's pretty much a take-out only spot. No tables and chairs to eat, just a window for ordering and a window for picking up. It was clean though. Ordered a regular 3 piece w/curry rice, Popcorn chicken, fries a peach cobbler and 2 diet cokes. It took a while for the food. About 15 minutes. The folks who came after me go thier food before I did, but it's fine. The people who work there were nice enough. While waiting I kept watching the TV they have on the lobby with all these people reviewing the food it was making my mouth water. When I finally got my chicken... A little disappointed. It was good, but saltly. The fries were salty too. I will say that my 3 piece came with a leg, a wing and a thigh. The leg and wing were salty the right was just right, so I think it's the batter to chicken meat ratio. Keep that in mind when ordering. Overall the food was fine. I liked it enough. No complaints. No big wows either. I would return.

I was completely disgusted, and shortly after eating I felt sick to my stomach. Buyer beware because serving food like this is unacceptable. I should've known something was off based on the owner's attitude alone. He was not welcoming, did not seem appreciative of customers coming into his establishment, and his clothes looked filthy and unprofessional. To make matters worse, they keep raw chicken sitting in a bin right next to the grill. No wonder I felt sick afterward. I've also tried coming here several times before, and they're always closed even though their hours say they open at 12 PM. This place deserves negative zero stars, not even 1.

Instead of explaining the options, she simply told us, "It's on the screen." I understand that the options may be displayed, but I was asking a simple question and expected the cashier to provide the information in a helpful and courteous manner. Unfortunately, my order was also incomplete. When I asked about the missing item, the cashier told me it was inside the bag. I checked the bag and informed her that the item was not there. Rather than apologizing or simply assisting me, she told us to park in front of the restaurant. Her tone was not polite, and she repeated the instruction twice in a frustrated manner. I understand that employees can be busy, but customers should still be treated with patience and respect. I was simply asking about the missing item from an order that I had already paid for. The cashier's attitude and tone made the experience unnecessarily frustrating. I hope management addresses this type of customer service because customers should feel welcomed and respected when visiting your establishment.
