    Grilled Chicken. Delicious.
    David R.

    Good place to get some chicken and tacos. It gets really busy during lunch. I like the chicken.

    Full chicken meal $27

    Best Mexican food in all of the Grand Junction area! More of a carry out place, but the chicken is killer. If only they had a patio and margaritas haha. This is some of the best food in GJ, unfortunately most is either chains or mediocre.

    Wow!! We are in town for a music festival and wanted some good Mexican food on our way out of town. We found this place online and could not have been more impressed. We've been to many Mexican restaurants and this is definitely our favorite. My partner got the 1/4 chicken meal and it was easily the most flavorful and well cooked chicken I've ever had. I got the carne asada and pork tacos which were both perfectly cooked and delicious. The rice and beans were also amazing. The service was polite, helpful, and fast. We chose to eat inside on a hot day and it was cool with some good music. If we didn't live four hours away we would be back weekly, definitely give this place a try!!

    This is a no frills chicken place. Also delicious. Look for the giant chicken on the corner. You can't miss it. Get extra salsa. Enjoy!

    Chicken was very juicy salsa was great sides weren't bad. I'd highly recommend this place for some authentic pollo asado

    It really is that good! I was skeptical when we read the reviews, but we decided to stop by on our way through town. We were five adults and we got the four person meal, it's a full chicken plus rice, beans and tortilla. Everything had so much flavor, we loved the different sauces, although the super hot one nobody ate. We all even loved the skin, even the two of us who rarely eat the skin. It was plenty of food for all of us. Good service. We ate at a table with chairs inside.

    Flavor, flavor, flavor!! This reminds me of the Pollo Loco chain in California, but this is much better! What a treat on a drive through of GJ!

    Food is phenomenal! Service and ambience were great. This is definitely our new go to spot when traveling through Grand Junction!

    The carne asada tacos are incredible and the salsas fresh. It'll be our new go-to spot when driving to Denver.

    Amazing and authentic tacos. Not your Americanized Mexican food. I had one chicken, one asada, and al pastor - all were excellent.

    If you're over in the Palisade area, this is definitely worth a stop…read more I've made the drive to Palisade for Fidel's Cocina & Bar a couple times now, and honestly... it has not disappointed The chips & guac are some of the best around, and the DIP TRIO is a great starter -- black bean hummus, toasted pepita dip, guacamole, and house tortilla chips. Of course I had to add salsa, because... obviously Patti went with the Huevos Rancheros and really liked it Tyler tried the Chile Relleno and said it was the best one he's had in forever -- bold statement, but he's sticking to it. I've had the Chile Relleno too, and I get it. Fresh poblano, Oaxacan cheese, refried black beans, sour cream, pickled onion, cilantro, cotija... just yummy. I also tried the Oaxacan taco and carne asada taco, and both were absolutely on point -- juicy, flavor-packed, and straight-up And yes, Dad's jalapeño sauces are a must. The green and red both add that perfect little kick And a big win--they've got a great selection of gluten-free options (clearly marked), so it's easy to navigate if that matters to you And since it's a Mexican restaurant, I had to partake in a margarita I went with the Pinky -- Dulce Vida Grapefruit Tequila, Naranja, fresh lime juice, and fresh grapefruit juice. Very tasty. Big shoutout to Sasha at the bar super knowledgeable, great vibes, and clearly a fellow GJ foodie with great recommendations. Service has been great all around both times. Solid food, great date night spot, and worth the drive. Just my opinion... don't come at me

    Enjoyed our taco adventure here very much. It's a cozy spot but they can accommodate groups well,…read moredinner reservations are recommended especially during summer tourist season. They do have a street patio Mezcal and Tequila flights, specialty cocktails highly recommended. The tacos are a la carte, big enough for two to share and they have local sauces to top. Service was fantastic, overall a great place, will definitely return!
