Some of the best flame grilled chicken in Los Angeles. Service was fast and efficient. Definitely a must try, will be back.

We got Pepes plate, kind of like a sampler plate! It was delicious!! And their plates are priced well. I also got potato salad and cole slaw but i was not impressed by those, stick to the rice and beans , those are super duper! The chicken was very tasty and not dry the carne asada was soft and well seasoned and the chorizo was good but i gave that to my hubby! Lol not a fan of chorizo but he loved it. We will definitely be back ! read more

See all

Pops chickens never misses! The bomb. I recommend the number 2. It's half of a chicken. Comes with sides of your choice. The macaroni side 10/10. Can't never go wrong w this spot read more

Tried this place out and it's pretty good. Chicken is tender and juicy. I got the El Pepe plate and Horchata and I loved it. Really good. Guac could have been better but other than that I would recommend. read more

This place has the best pollo asado around. If your hungry and looking for a hearty meal then Pop's Chicken is the place for you. I love getting the whole chicken meal with rice and tortillas with their fresh hot salsa. When my family and I are in the mood for some authentic pollo asado we go to Pop's Chicken not that Crazy Chicken place. If you're in Compton go check them out. read more

Guys best food ever! Great taste, great service! A lil spot but it's really good. Best of Mexican food I have tried in town

Great food and customer service. Chicken is cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this place

If you want good charbroiled chicken. Come to Pop's Chicken. I live in La Puente and I drove to Compton for this chicken. I totally recommend this place. After you taste this chicken you'll never want to eat at Pollo Loca ever again, or KFC!! Trust me you won't be disappointed. There salad are not that great. But there chicken is!!! read more

Best chicken in town!!!! It's juicy and tasty I like there rice and macaroni salad. Great customer service and great price.

Chicken is good, they have alot of parking space, but the salsa and the guac are both spicy . Haha i have to chug 3 cups of water just to get rid of the spicyness. Clean place highly recommend it. read more

I love this spot! OMG The chicken is to die for. I ordered the Pepe's special with the carne asada, chorizo and chicken did not regret. They also give you rice and beans. The salsa is so delicious and the tortillas are warm and ready for you to eat. I thank my coworker for introducing me to this spot. I would definitely come back and recommend this place for anyone. read more

The chicken is delicious. Never over cooked or dry. Beans and rice are good as well. The only down falls are that the corn tortillas are always wrapped in foil and by the time I get home they are always stuck together. And they have an amazing green salsa but they don't make it every day. I'm not sure why. That always bums me out. But even with those 2 MINOR things, it's good chicken that I travel the freeway just to go get. read more

Best chicken spot around. It is better than el polo loco, Juan polo ect. Great flavor and the portions are filling must try

I'm picky I only eat white meat. Chicken delicious salsa spicy. Beans n rice not bad tortillas could have skipped Jamaica excellent

Best pollo asado I've had.....beside the fact that the chicken is theeeee bomb, they're customer service is absolutely out of this world! I had the pleasure of meeting Doña Concha, she was so nice to us. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked up on us constantly. This is what makes a business flourish, when you feel at home , satisfied and comfortable it makes you come back over and over. So to the owner: don't loose this lady!!! She is awesome!!! read more

This is a great place for the Mexican citrus grilled style chicken. It is similar to Pollo Loco, but is so much better. This is owned and operated by a family that only has two locations here in the Compton Area. They make everything from scratch except for the desserts and bread. Desserts and bread are made locally and delivered fresh daily from local bakeries. The chicken is simply out of this world. Tender juicy and full of flavor. Marinaded in a secret citrus marinade then grilled over an open charcoal bbq pit. Chicken is not all they do though. The grill fish, hot links, carne asada style steaks and even upon request American styled BBQ chicken(with a spicy/tangy sauce). Last, side dishes. They make in house all the side dishes. Refriend beans, pinto beans, Mexican rice, macaroni salad and nopales. its all good, but my favorite is the cole slaw, which is only available some of the time. Its a great place for a quick lunch, they do offer catering for any size parties. I prefer to get enough for the family and take it all home. read more

The chicken is so good, best place to grab lunch around here. Guacamole is good too, some days its spicier than others but still good. read more

The chicken was great. It was juicy and flavorful. The parking lot needs to be redone. They also new more air conditioning in the restaurant. The guacamole was a bit too spicy for my taste. Overall I would buy chicken from here again. read more

The hood probably has the best food I have tried yet!! I came across this place after hearing many coworkers talk about the charbroiled chicken!! As soon as I pulled up there was this fantastic aroma in the air. As I walked up to the spot where they are cooking their chicken and oh mighty what a delicious sight!! I thought that I loved pollo loco's chicken but you know what I refuse to support big corporations like that anymore!! I love supporting mom and pop shops like this!! The chicken is really that bomb! The sides as someone mentioned in another review are just okay :) THE CHICKEN IS THE STAR HERE! The price is amazing as well. A great place to get dinner for the family. My go to spot for charbroiled chicken for sures!! Keep up the good work pops!! read more

Service is great. The employees are friendly. The owner is awesome. And the chicken is really tasty, tastes homemade.

Pops Chicken is the Bomb! Yes, I understand that phrase is over used. Call it what you will, I call it WINNER WINNER CHICKEN FRICKEN DINNER!! The moment your tires hit the pavement, the smell of grilled chicken smacks you in your kisser and your body has no choice but to follow your feet to the front door. Step inside and you will know why Yelp is cra cra for a mom n pop chicken shack. You need a quick lunch? Done. Do you need to feed the family, pick up 2-3 chickens. When your friends n family find out you have this chicken coming home, you Better pick up 5 Chickens and some cold beer, Cuz now it's PARTY! The chicken is FLAVORFUL, unlike EPL. The salads are really good. The salsa is terrific and comes in 2 styles, pico de gallo & green salsa. FAST, friendly service, my husband gives the Bathroom 4 out of 5 stars!! As far as getting here, if you go west on Rosecrans, after Sante Fe, you come to a fork or service road, stay to the RIGHT, Don't go over the bridge, you'll end up going through the back way and believe ME, you will want to get here ASAP! read more

Pop's Chicken - 1/2 Chicken plate - Chicken Shop Near Me - Compton, California

I love Pop's. The grilled chicken is an easy 10 stars in my book. My boy friend and I will not eat grilled chicken any where else but here. The prices are great for couples and large groups. We always have left overs to take home. Ok now I'm getting hungry. This spot is a must do POP'S CHICKEN. read more

This is my favorite Chicken in the world. Every time that I am in Compton or even close by. I have to stop by and get a half chicken lunch. If I am going to a party and it is a potluck. I will stop here and get 4 whole chickens for under 40.00 bucks. Then I have to tell like 10+ people where I got the chicken from. Everyone always says the same thing. "This is like El Pollo Loco, but way better" I say... I know! I've been eating this chicken for well over 10 years and it is the absolute best around. read more
