    Pollo in habanero mango sauce and other half in zarandeado (my favorite).
    Cris S.

    New hidden gem. The chicken is cooked to perfection, the sauces are amazing. Must try the zarandeado. Place is full of Mexican culture, the music playing reminded me of my childhood, the staff is nice and helpful.

    service is great food isn't out of this world the macaroni has a funny taste like it's been in the fridge for a while fries aren't great either, I ordered a whole chicken but when it came out the chicken was very small i think for the price you can get a better sized chicken somewhere else the taste is mediocre I expect the chicken to taste like terryaki but it was just regular chicken with sauce on top not marinated differently then the regular not impressed good to try but not good enough to return.

    Great customer service, clean dining area and the food is delicious we had the original chicken and the mango habanero, also the rice, potato wedges and macaroni are good 10 out of 10 definitely coming back!!! Also the tacos dorados are good.

    New restaurant near by so I had to come check it out. The guys working make sure you feel comfortable and welcome. The chicken was flavorful and the side were delicious. Most places Mexican rice is never really that good but this place had a good homemade feel. Just like grandmas rice. The food and service were excellent. Definitely must try.

    Mango habanero chicken

    I have been coming to king pollo for a couple of months now and each time it's amazing! The chicken is super juicy and flavorful especially the mango habanero! The chorizo tacos are also a must try! Super filling and the portions are very generous. The employees are super welcoming and helpful with helping with the menu as well as taking the food to to table. In all honesty i really do enjoy this hidden gem in Lynwood!

    Aguachiles verdes

    My uncle and I stopped by here out of hunger and curiosity. I ordered a aguachiles verdes and my uncle ordered bistec ranchero. The server was a nice lady and accommodated us well. Our food came out and I was a little apprehensive over the aguachiles as it was my first time trying it out, but I was blown away by the great taste and flavor I got out of it! I would 100% come back and try out something new with high expectations!

    So i am a bit confused about the photos here, because there is an actual restaurant looking place,…read moresome little cart and a food truck. Hopefully they are all related. My review is based on the food truck. It was my son's birthday. He was allowed to chose anything he wanted for dinner. Any price point... anything. Well i had seen this on Instagram and shared it with him two weeks prior. At first he wanted to go to Nobu or there were a few other high end options, but that is not his style honestly. Luckily, he remembered the post that I shared. He wanted to go here. Well, buckle up kids, we are going on a field trip! We left work/schools early and took a drive to Compton. When our navigation said we had arrived it suggested we park in the lot across from the library. Ok. There directly in front of the library was the food truck. There was a small line, so that was ideal. Not a long wait. My other smaller human and i went to wash their hands in the library. When i came out he had ordered the hungry man or something. It was more than enough for us. The oxtail was good. The ribs were good. The chicken was good. The cornbread was yummy. Just not over the moon for the greens... and i loooove collard greens. But that's ok. We went for the meats. They were out of the dinosaur ribs, so maybe if we go early enough next time, we can try those. We took it across the street to the park and ate and that was enough time for the small one to also play to get energy out before we headed home. The drive home was long, now that rush hour traffic had started. But none of us complained, because the meal was worth it.

It was rich, flavorful, and actually tasted homemade. The BBQ was impressive, smoky, tender, and seasoned just right. I really enjoyed it. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor. Good BBQ is hard to find in LA, but this spot gives you that "Dad or your uncle in the backyard on the grill" kind of vibe. Real, comforting, home-style food. Stop by and support a brother!

    Just had one of the worst customer service experiences I've had in a while. I stopped by on my way…read morehome because I was craving BBQ. I've been here a few times before, mainly for the sides, but after this experience I honestly don't know if I'll return. I ordered a lunch chicken plate and was never told it would take over 40 minutes. Had I known, I either wouldn't have ordered or would have asked for a refund much sooner. Meanwhile, customer after customer who ordered after me received their food before I did. When I finally got my order, there was no apology or acknowledgment of the delay. I asked if there was anything they could do for the inconvenience, and the only thing offered was a free slushy. I don't even drink soda. A side dish or something more thoughtful would have made more sense. To make matters worse, when I got home, the chicken portion was very small and the two sides were tiny about the size of dressing cups. It's disappointing because I actually do like their flavors, but good food only goes so far when the customer service experience is this poor.

    Found this spot on Yelp this past Saturday, 05-23-26. Was headed home from the barbershop but I…read morehadn't eaten all day and I began looking for the nearest happy hour spot. Couldn't believe what I saw on both Yelp and Apple Maps, 4.8 stars and over 100+ reviews and this spot is in Compton, my city. Didn't even know a spot like this existed. Busted a u-turn going down Alondra so I could go back to Atlantic then make that right and slide to Compton Blvd and make that left. A few streets from there on your right side you'll find boulevard gastropub. Sitting next door to some other business which is right next to a big parking lot which is free by the way. I've parked in this lot at least a couple of times just to go to that taco truck and never noticed gastropub. Immediately when I walked in it was good vibes and the sense of a good atmosphere. I was greeted by the owner and a young lady who was the bartender. The owner is real cool. We had a short conversation I shared with him how I discovered his business and informed him I do reviews as well as post some content on my social media platforms in hopes of businesses receiving more attention and customers. Unfortunately, due to them not having an alcohol or liquor license, some of their drinks such as the cocktails are more so wine based drinks. So please don't come here expecting to get some Don Julio or Hennessy. Ain't gone happen lol. I had a Classic Mojito and enjoyed it. The price was $10 which I found exceptional. The food was delicious. I recommend the Blvd Burger as a go to if you can't decide on anything else. I loved it so much I had to make a video. And definitely try the Voodoo Wings. You won't be disappointed. Just imagine buffalo wings with lemon pepper seasoning. Cuz that's what it is and they're fire. No bs with the ranch dressing too. I'm definitely returning for another visit. I can see this being a new frequent spot to pull up to and hang out. I love the ambiance, my drink, the food here and the customer service. All things to be considered when going out and spending money. What I spent was definitely worth the first time experience.

    At first glance, it looked like parking was limited to the street, but after calling, I found out…read morethere is a parking lot on the corner, which made things much easier. The restaurant itself is small but mighty, with a cozy feel and a menu that delivers. Everything is made to order, and they offer a rotating selection of local craft beers, which is a nice touch if you like trying something new. We ordered the spicy Korean wings, and thankfully they were not overly spicy, making them easy to enjoy. The real standout, though, was the Blvd burger. It was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their burgers. Overall, the prices were better than most places, especially considering the quality. Definitely worth a visit.
