Combo Shaddai with fries.
Chelle M.

Guys. This place is legit. Tucked away in an unassuming block in Lockland (I think), this place is serving up delicious and reasonably priced food. Thankfully yelp's search abs reviews put this joint on my radar. I Enough chit chat. Let's talk about Pollo Shaddai. It has the look abs feel of a diner. Our waiter asked if we'd had Guatemalan food before. When we said "no," he took us through the menu and explained everything to us. On his recommendation, we started off with the Garnanchos which were mini fried tortillas topped with an amazingly seasoned ground beef mixture, sautéed cabbage, cheese and red salsa. O. M. G. Delicious!!! Definitely get an order to share when you go. The boyfriend got the Combo Shaddai which is 3 pieces of fried chicken and fries that are topped with Mayo, ketchup, abs a spicy green ketchup. He was a little sketch on the green ketchup and got it on the side. I loved it! He said the chicken was really good... very similar to the type of fried chicken you'd expect from a restaurant, but felt the breading was a little sweeter. I got the Pepian which came with 2 pieces of chicken that were smothered in a tasty curry sauce. Don't let the word "curry" fool you. It wasn't as heavily spiced as an Indian curry, but it was delicious. Mellow and delicious, it came with a side of rice and a salad made with carrots abs green beans in mayo. The waiter said it's a polarizing dish. Most either love it or hate it. I was in the middle. I wanted just a dash of spice to go with it. We both had leftovers, but we definitely didn't have any garnanchos left. We devoured all 5 of those suckers due to their amazingness. Basically, you need to check this place out. It was delightful!!!

I called ahead and placed a takeout order for a burrito with extra refried beans no rice and a single drumstick because I wanted to check out their fried chicken, not really expecting too much because I honestly I've never seen a combination Mexican fried Chicken joint. When I got there they were pretty busy and the smell was incredibly powerful, appetizing to say the least! the gentleman who took my order told me it would have been like 10 minutes and I definitely waited longer than that, but it wasn't a terrible wait. Got home and dove in... the burrito was okay, refried black beans which is one of my favorites and a decent amount of filling but nothing really great in the flavor department, the steak was some of the chewier fattier cuts which is always annoying for me. the fried chicken though is actually great! Had a super light fry like almost to the point that I couldn't tell if it was roasted or fried, it was barely just a bit of coating and super crispy skin. I'll definitely go back for more of that!

My family has been here twice for fried chicken and both times it has been delicious - crispy, well-seasoned, and juicy. You'll love it if you like dark meat because it seems most pieces were thighs and legs. Their other items - carne asada, burritos, fajitas Shaddai have also been on point, and the portions are generous. The staff are friendly and quick. This place is definitely going into our eating out rotation, which is a high compliment for this foodie family.

Loved the food! I was feeling a bit homesick, as i'm from LA with guatemalan family and there's plenty of food like this all around. So being near the area, i decided to check it out and felt right at home! The food was yummy, the service was great too. I ordered a plate of garnachas with some plátanos on the side. Appreciate this little piece of guatemala here in cincinnati. Will be coming back when i'm in ohio again!

Super friendly staff. Chicken is good, but a little too salty. Would give 5 stars if not so salty.

I had beef tacos and pata margarita! Deliciousness served! The staff and owner were friendly and engaging and so accommodating! Oh and did I mention they had DJ Nova spinning the 1s and 2s right outside. This place was an entire vibe! I ate! I drank! I danced! I went home with a full heart and belly!

First and last time visiting Pata Roja. Ordered 5 tacos for takeout: a birria without onions, a…read morepollo with no onions but added cheese and crema, and another birria + two pollo birria with the regular toppings (assuming cheese, onion, and cilantro but it doesn't list anywhere what the tacos come with). Picked it up, took it home and realized all 5 had onions, and the pollo taco had no cheese or crema. Drove all the way back and waited at least 20 minutes for them to be remade. When we got the new tacos we realized the only topping on any of them was cheese; no onions or cilantro on the three regular or crema on the pollo. They told us they don't have crema even though it's available to order on takeout and they charged us for it. At that point it had been forever and we were starving so we just took it. Food was good and they were nice enough to remake it but absolutely not worth the hassle especially since we never actually got what we ordered.
