La Costera Grill Chicken - Half chicken. It's a bargain and amazing. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Really delicious! Just got the chicken tacos - no onion Great service Very clean inside too! read more

There are a few options for grilled mexican chicken in this area with Pollo Loco being the more popular option. La Costera is an option that not a lot of people know about but they should not be overlooked. I have tried different places in the area and I will say that La Costera is my favorite! Location is not so inviting. Located in a small strip mall, I can easily see how one could feel unsafe picking up and/or eating here. But I challenge anyone to not judge a book by its cover. Just follow your nose and your heart and stomach will be satisfied. La Costera is a hole in a wall joint. They seem to be family owned and the flavors that come out of these chickens taste like they are a happy family that takes pride in their cooking. They have the grill setup at the front so you know what you are getting yourself into by just smelling what they cooking! It is so easy to over indulge because you can't help but have your stomach do the ordering for you! I always order their chicken meals but have also tried their tacos. Their grilled chicken is so flavorful and juicy! Not once have I had a bad meal here. I will say that if you are on a diet or trying trying to eat healthy, this place isn't for you. Because every delicious bite will force you to over indulge. But I guarantee you, you will also feel oh so right! English isn't their strong talking language. They have one lady that speaks good english but if she's not available, you can still communicate with them. Just don't expect to have deep conversations with them. Aside from that, service has been awesome! I've dined in a few times but there are only like 4 tables here so it won't be a surprise if there isn't any seating available during busy times. read more

La Costera Grill Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I have had a million chicken tacos from a million different Mexican restaurants and this place is sincerely the best.. I just moved to town from Los Angeles so when I say I know Mexican food I mean it. I feel lucky to live around the corner from this establishment. I go every week and I doubt that will change. Their rice and beans is even dynamite. The place is super clean and the people that work there are muy lindo. Love this place. read more

Ok this place is definitely a dive hole in the wall. The outside windows have steel bars, the inside looks kinda dirty, the tables and chairs are all over the place, some put up and some down. The cashier was nice. I played it safe and got one of each type of taco. If Yelp would only allow different ratings for the food...the tacos were fantastic! So tasty and a lot of meat. My favorite was the barbacoa but the chicken and steak tacos were also so good! And cheap at only $2.50 each. Almost makes me want to give 4 stars for the food! If you don't care about the looks, then definitely stop by for the food read more

The food here is great highly recommend. Excellent fast service and you can dine in. I go with the half chicken combo. The way it's grilled is amazing and haven't found anything else quite like it. read more

Been wanting some real grilled chicken for a while! Something char grilled type of meat! This place says they're the best chicken in Denver so I had to check it out. Pretty good, comes with beans, salsa, rice and tortillas read more

Great tacos! Chicken and Barbacoa tacos were some of the best I have had! Definitely will be coming back to try some more dishes.

Went to La Costera based on the Yelp pictures, the food looked sooo good. Ordered a quesadilla plate and a enchilada plate. The quesadilla tortilla was hard as a rock and barely had any cheese in it. The enchilada plate ummm was just not good. The enchiladas were dry. The rice was plain and tasted like nothing but cumin. The food was too expensive not to taste good. Enchilada plate was $14.99 and the Quesadilla plate was $13.49. I will definitely not be returning. read more

La Costera Grill Chicken - Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

For now its a 3 STARS in my books, coz I ate them cold due to where I was at that time on SATURDAY May 19th 2012. Was near this vicinity with my beloved fellow Yelpers who decide to have a UYE Taco Tour aka Taco Truck Tour UYE: Este Edición, despite the wet weather all morning. Cant recall what I order, but I know it was 3 different type of Tacos since I took pictures of the tacos I purchased from La Costera. I want to return to order more or other things such as their CHICKEN coz that was what my beloved fellow Yelpers have raved and mentioned about in their reviews. So I sure hope to return with Hubs one day when schedule permitting. Just in case you want to call La Costera ahead of time and confirm their location, here is their number : (720)-210-6657 @87/2012 read more

Delicious grilled chicken that is grilled over real mesquite! The sides are amazing. I don't even like beans but I love their beans! I drive 45 minutes just to eat here. Its a old shabby building but dang the food is awesome. They grill the chicken outside on that real mesquite. It makes all the difference. Its affordable as well! Love this place! read more

Best grilled chicken in Denver. Always very flavorful and tender. Sides are also very good

You have to try this place!! The owner and staff are so friendly. I am not good with my Spanish and they helped me order. He even took his time to talk to me while putting chicken on the grill. This place is legit. It was 12.99 for half a chicken that comes with beans, rice and tortillas to make your own tacos. The chicken is the best I've ever had!!! This will definitely be part of our weekly routine. Forget that rotisserie chicken you get at king scoopers...come down here and get it fresh off the grill!!! The chicken is so flavorful, juicy, and moist. The take away is...support a local hard working business and eat some damn good chicken!! read more

I'm going to let you in on a little secret ... this is *the* best chicken in Denver. The. Best. Even better than the upscale chicken roaster a few blocks away. The whole chicken comes with beans, rice, and tortillas for something in the neighborhood of $30. What a deal. I'm taking away a star because the sides that are included with the meal are passable and the carne asada was very tough when I had it, but if I could give the chicken TEN stars I would. Heck, I'd give it 100 stars, it's that good. In fact, despite the whole chicken meal being just that, a whole meal, we also order an additional half bird (meat only) because my family hoovers that smoky, peppery, goodness like there is no tomorrow. I recommend you call your order in ahead and pick it up (no indoor seating), and park behind the smoker. You can't miss it. read more

Do yourself a favor and take the following steps: *1. Call in an order for a full chicken meal at around 1130am; 2. Pick it up at about 1145; 3. Take home... or to a park... or a friend's... or to your car... or even a friend's car in a park, I suppose; 4. Enjoy the best chicken in denver- hands down. *This step guarantees chicken that is fresh outta the smoker... thus guaranteeing that step 4 is achieved. read more

First time I came here, I asked if I could get a few tortillas and a side of beans. The cook came out and again, I explained what I wanted and it was to make bean rolls. She knew exactly what I was making and made my order. Today, I stopped in as the grill out front was calling my name. The smell was incredible. I ordered the 1/2 chicken dinner and asked for all white meat. The dinner came with salad, grilled jalapeno, rice, pickled onions, tortillas, whole pinto beans in a cup, two salsas, and 1/2 chargrilled chicken. My chicken was delicious, moist, and perfectly seasoned with a hint of saffron. I loved the beans and rice as well. This meal was a good size lunch for both the husband and me. While I waited, I read the Yelp reviews and was pleased that my esteemed colleague, Mr. Doug Y, felt the same way I did. He knew this family when they had a truck. read more

La Costera Grill Chicken - Charring my chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

For grilled chicken, no need to look anywhere else. They have the huge grill outside and specialize in grilled chicken and lives up to the smell as you walk in. It was juicy, super flavorable, and the perfect dinner option for a summer evening. read more

Don't be fooled by the outside. This place is the real deal. The chicken was just outstanding. The rice was authentic. And the salsas were a perfect compliment. $25 feeds a family of 4 GO !! read more

Very authentic pollo asado style meal. Which was exactly what we were looking for. The staff was the friendliest, most attentive and gracious. They said they do a lot of take out service, but we ate our meal there and it was wonderful. Good salsas. read more

The reviews for this chicken joint are spot on. The chicken is perfectly spiced and grilled. The rice and beans are also excellent. I will definitely be back. read more

Everything about this was delicious. The chicken, the rice, the sauces. A great neighborhood gem!

They're still putting the finishing touches on the interior. But the smoker/grill is out front and the smell of the cooking chicken coming off the smoker is ever present. Great chicken! Full menu with $1.50 tacos and birria on Sat. and Sun. Congrats to them for opening a storefront location. read more

There chicken is so delicious you can taste all the flavor in the chicken. Rice and beans portions are quite small since I'm feeding 4. But overall very delicious. Salsa is so spicy I love spice and it's full of flavor. Service is great as well! read more

We love this place. The food is simply and flavorful. The service is friendly. Don't pass up the whole chicken. If you e ever had el pollo loco in California- this place will bring happy memories. read more

Best Mexican food in the city ! Great service and authentic taste. Would highly recommend

We got the whole chicken - tender and delicious and such a good deal with the beans, salad and tortillas and a grilled jalapeno. Our family of three was very pleased, plenty of leftovers for today's lunch. read more

I love it !!! So yummy i love the rice and beans Me encanta un savor diferente muy rico!! read more

Best chicken ever!! They have a huge smoker outside that they make these chickens in. The flavor is in every bite and not just on the outside. Seriously delicious. I crave it. I haven't tried anything else yet but I'll be back for sure. read more

This is a classic hole in the wall, but the food is fantastic and that's what counts, right? The grill is outside the front door and the flavor it imparts on the whole chicken is spot on. Combined with the tortillas, rice, beans, pickled red onions, and roasted jalapeño make this a complete meal for the family with leftovers to spare. All for about $30! read more

Okay so Doug Y and Thomas said I should go - so I went. Next time I'm just going to nod my head and then get in my car and drive directly to where ever they tell me I should go. This little gem of a taco truck is in the parking lot of a night club. Not sure if the night club is even open or not. There is a truck and then the grill. You see the smoke rolling off the grill as you are driving down the street. You pull up and immediately smell the grilling goodness that is chicken. The guy is turning and putting stuff on it - I'm not sure what he is putting on it - I didn't ask and frankly I don't care. This is some of the best damn chicken in the city. Moist and flavorful - the edges are black with the char from the grill and it is perfectly cooked. I opted for the 1/4 chicken plate - but it was more like 1/3 of a chicken - a huge breast and two whole wings (with the little burnt tips that I absolutely love). It comes with beans, rice, a grilled jalepeno, corn tortilla, and two different kinds of salsa. This salsa should come with a big huge warning label - if you're a white girl from the suburbs this is going to be kick you in your teeth hot salsa. There was no label. I looked and looked and there wasn't one, but there should be. I'm not sure how they cook their Spanish rice but it was damn tasty. It doesn't look like much but most of the Mexican Restaurants in Denver could learn something from this truck. I'm glad that it is close to work and will be able to enjoy this place often. read more

I just don't understand all these great reviews. We came to this place because of all the reviews. The seasoning was good however, the chicken was the driest grilled chicken I have ever had!!!!! The chicken wings were sooo dry and very chewy. The carne asada was tough and full of grissel!!! The rice was mushy as hell the beans had no flavor!!!! The salsa was practically water. Honestly a 1 rating is too much. read more

This place is a hidden gem! So delicious! The beans are amazing but so is everything else!

Sorry Chook... you don't even come close. Chicken has layers of charcoal taste with subtle spices. The rice and beans are so flavorful. The hot corn tortillas smell and taste autenico! Didn't try the salsas ( I am wimpy) however my husband said they were great! read more

Well, the weather did not cooperate for a taco truck tour on this dreary May afternoon. I was a bit disappointed that we'd have to reroute our tour to some indoor locales, especially because I was really looking forward to finding out what was under the hood of the smoker at La Costera. My curiosity was further piqued after seeing Doug Y. arrive from La Costera as giddy as a 13yo boy that just discovered a stack of porno mags in the alley behind Barnes and Noble. After some nice seafood tostadas, I couldn't take it anymore. I don't care if curiosity killed the cat, I must meet the tacos that gave Doug Y. such a sly grin. The rain had stopped, the wind mellowed, and my son needed to get out for a walk. The obvious choice was to conveniently stroll by the La Costera cart to see what all the hoo-haw was about. Dude! Their smoker is huge. The aroma is incredible. They specialize in pollo asado and they do it really well. I'm almost never order chicken tacos because they are easily the most boring tacos on every menu in every taqueria around the world. Not here. Get the tacos de pollo asado and thank me later. This was probably the BEST taco I've had in some time. The chicken comes with an incredible smoky flavor, but is still left with plenty of juiciness. Served with a complimentary dose of cabbage, onions and a mild salsa, these puppies are perfection in a corn tortilla. I'm already daydreaming about a return trip. Perhaps tomorrow if things go my way... read more

Amazing! The whole chicken dinner is delicious and well worth the 20 dollars and easily feeds four people.

i've noticed the last few time i've been here i felt like they have been over charging me, a black guy that patronizes they're business, the food which has been better! is very salty and greasy i think they are over priced and they are over charging black people beware the food is salty and can lead to very fat feet! yo shoe game will be all the way jacked up stay focussed..... read more

I really want to give this place 5 stars. Perhaps we can settle on 4.5? The chicken is SO AMAZING! The beef, not quite as much. I've not tried the rest yet. Let's just say this: If you go here, please understand the name is "La Costera Grill Chicken" It is not "La Costera Beef" or "La Costera any other animal". You come here for chicken. You smell the amazing chicken blocks away when they are cooking it. It's simply amazing! They sell 5 things I can tell: The actual grilled chicken itself, in various amounts simply plain; Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas, and the best of all, Tortas. I'm a huge Torta fan. The seasoning on the chicken in all of the above is spectacular, the charred edges leading into an amazingly juicy bite of chicken with the most flavor I've had from anything that in its previous life had come with feathers. The husband and wife (I believe) and perhaps brother of one of them own and run the place, and they always have a ton of customers during the day and into the night when they close all too early. The fact they setup shop between a Family Dollar, liquor store, recreational marijuana dispensary, carwash, and 711 does not hurt their traffic either. Plenty of parking can be found in the shared lot at the Family Dollar / Liquor Store. They accept credit cards as well as good old cash, so there's no reason not to stop by and have some of the best chicken in the greater Denver metro area! Just watch out for the tiny bones that sometimes make their way into your delicious entrees, and don't chomp -too- quickly. read more
