I really liked Pop's Chicken! We got the #3 special which included 2 chickens + rice + beans + 2 salads (we chose cole slaw and nopales) which came to around $38. It also came with some warm corn tortillas as well as some fresh and spicy salsa. They also gifted 2 cans of orange Fanta. This meal turned into 4 amazing meals for us...and the chicken tasted even better the next day. This is a family business with two locations - we went to the one on Rosecrans (the other is nearby on Long Beach Blvd). Upon parking in their lot, we could see the smoke from their grill... we knew this was gonna be good! There are a few tables inside but we noticed that most take it "to go". We stood in line and then we were promptly helped by their efficient staff. In addition to chicken, there are also fish and beef items. There is also macaroni and potato salad for salad choices. Next time I wanna try the potato salad. We took our order home and thoroughly enjoyed the taste and quality of their grilled chicken. Although it is similar to El Pollo Loco, it is somehow different...it's weird but I can't explain it. As we left the restaurant with our very full bag of items, we noticed that the line grew and was snaking out the door. Definitely a testament to this great neighborhood gem! read more

We ordered lunch for our field staff from this establishment and food was very good especially for the price. We received a whole chicken, rice, beans and potato salad all for 40 bucks. They hook up the sides and are not tight with anything including jalapeños and salsas. The price makes the food taste so much better especially nowadays what everyone is charging even if the food is good the price is ridiculous. read more

Pop's Chicken - Food - Chicken Shop Near Me - Compton, California

Really good chicken - very moist and you can taste the smokiness 3 chicken with 6 sides and tortillas and salsas were only 52.50 Lots of parking We went to the long beach blvd location Cannot call ahead for the order unless you are ordering more than 10 chickens - because of that it took awhile to get our food read more

The chicken here hands down, is the star. It tastes like you grilled it in your own backyard, except you didn't have to lift a finger. The rice, beans, and guac, cactus salad were just okay, nothing to write home about. The potatoes salad was good though. The place itself is kind of a hole in the wall, not the cutest spot, but if you're after solid protein with a side of friendly service, you're golden. The service is prompt, which is a plus. The only real downside? The chips. They had a stale, honestly pretty nasty taste. P.S. Come expecting to wait, the line gets long! I guess people heard about the star of the show read more

Pops Chicken is hands down one of the best spots for comfort food! The chicken is cooked to perfection crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. Every bite is packed with seasoning that's clearly made with care. You can tell they take pride in the quality because everything tastes fresh and homemade. The potato salad is a standout on its own creamy, perfectly seasoned, and the ideal balance of texture and flavor. It's the kind of side you end up craving days later. Together with the chicken, it makes for an unbeatable meal. Friendly service, generous portions, and food that hits all the right notes.Pops Chicken is a place I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend! read more

This place is a great deal all the way around . I got like two chickens and sides for like 35 dollars or so and the chicken was very good, tender and flavorful and very juicy . I will continue to come here, best deal in town, friendly service and a good place all the way around . read more

Soo soooo GOOD!! I have been coming to Pops for years. Great food, great service, what else do you need in a delicious chicken spot.

Food was goods, ordered me and the fam some chicken, ima come back. Love me some pops chicken

Amazing food! I make the drive from HB to get food for gatherings!! Some of the best tasting chicken and side dishes but also the price is unbeatable! Friendly service and they make the chicken out back every day! Every time I go there's always a line but they are quick to take orders! They have enough seating for you to wait or eat there. With a huge tv set you'll feel like a guest at someone's home. Must try! It's worth the drive to Compton. read more

Where should I even start? This chicken is so so so delicious with so much flavor!! Service is good too!! And the prices are pretty decent and affordable. I would recommend this place 100% !! If it's your first time going, trust me you won't regret it. Ever since I tried it, it is now my go to every Saturday lunch!! Flavor 10/10, ambiance 10/10, service 10/10, cleanliness 10/10, and you don't have to wait for so long for your order because they have it ready in less than 4-5 minutes 10/10 read more

Pop's Chicken is definitely the best Chicken spot in LA. My family and I have been coming here for years! However, the past few times we've been there, their chubby guy employee has been so rude. He's in a horrible mood and gets upset when we are ordering. It's so sad how because of one bad employee the quality of the restaurant gets affected. Pop's Chicken please do better when hiring your employees. read more

I worked down the street from Pop's for a year and I hit this place weekly. Pepe's plate was my go to order. You can smell the food a mile away and it draws you in. The guys cooking chicken out back are masters and they smile when you give them a thumbs up as you waddle to your car after eating more food than you should of but not as much as you wanted to. This is a place where customers have their name on their shirts: fire fighters, police, tradesmen. This is a neighborhood place with roots made of good food and good service. read more

This place has better prices that other rotiserrie chicken places. The provide the larger sides and have better variety on sides as well. Their flavors on different items are consistent. read more

Wonderl place, the chicken is better than El Pollo chicken. I highly recommend this spot.

The fast service, and the bomb chicken was amazing! The location on Rosecrans is a weird to get too, but don't let that deter you from checking this place out. The chicken here was the rice, the beans were pretty good. I tried their fresh jalapeño and tomate salsa and it was my favorite. The green salsa is cool, too, I'm just not a green salsa kinda person. The fam really liked this chicken and dare I say it's better than their competitors down the street read more

Great customer service! Delicious flavorful food. There was a line out the door but service was fast and worth the wait!

Great for asada nights for anyone who lives in apt this is the alternative to authentic build your nation food ...

The food here is 10/10 get the PEPEs plate it's my absolute favorite. I love the service here, feels like a family business. The seating area is actually really nice. read more

Very reasonable prices , excellent taste , fast service , this is our go to whenever we have a family party . We always get the family meal which includes 5 chickens , several sides and a 2 liter soda read more

This is a solid place to get rotisserie chicken, it's always fresh and the workers are always super friendly. The two whole chicken combo, is plenty food to feed my family of 5 with left overs. I typically get it with rice, beans and flour tortillas. The salsas are fresh and compliments the meal perfectly. They have a private parking lot, however they are located on the side of a bridge so it is a little tricky to find. I'd definitely recommend trying it if your in the area. read more
