We wanted to go halfsies on an OG chicken sandwich and the mom n pop breakfast platter with no potatoes, extra eggs. He suggested we just get the double slider deal instead of the sandwich because it's easier to split in half and eat since they used two tenders on the sandwich instead of one big filet. The food came out and everything looked and tasted perfect. I like that the chicken wasn't overly breaded, overly cooked, or overly crunchy. It was the perfect amount of crunch and tenderness. It was also very well seasoned! Like not in just a traditional way, it had the subtle bit of kick to it not not spicy. I'm a fan. This spot is a gem and very affordable for the quantity of food you're getting!

Okay but this place???…read more It's a tiny little spot inside a supermarket (no indoor seating), we saw it on TikTok and had to try it--got it to-go and the smell alone had us READY before we even got home. And OMG. So. Good. Like actually delicious. My son finished his whole sandwich (!!!), the Cali chicken, Korean chick, fries, sauces... everything was just hitting. Then we realized they gave us TWO orders of wings we didn't even order we called, they were super nice and told us to keep them--and one box even had an extra wing lol. 10/10, so yum, highly recommend.

The restaurant is outdoors with lots of shade. Service was great, ordering was quick and easy, and food came out pretty fast too. I'd say the only downside is that parking is a bit tough. I had to park slightly farther away and walk over, and even then, I just got lucky with finding a spot.

I got a group order togo and we got the chicken rice, chicken strips, coleslaw, and biscuits. The service for picking up was great. All the food was fresh. I liked the chicken rice a lot. It was very flavorful, and honestly, I think I'd buy a chicken rice plate if they offered a full version of it. I'd come back to try more of their items. The parking is all street parking in Hillcrest so it can be a bit hard to find.

I love that you could mix and match the chicken parts of your choice and are not just confined to 2 of the same. If you want a thigh and a tender you could do that, or if you wanted wings and a thigh you could do that! I had the chicken tenders which were very large. 2 pieces were more than enough for 1 person. The tenders were more like chicken breasts but cut into tenders. However they were still very good!! I tried the sichuan seasoning on the side and I really liked it. It reminded me of shichimi seasoning and had a mild spice. I believe you can order it spicier if you wish. As for sides, my kids got the fries and the fries were excellent. Someone in our party got the mashed potato and that was excellent also. My favorite side however was the hainan rice!!! It was so flavorful and fluffy, my daughter loved it as well. I would go back just for the rice alone! The restaurant is clean and staff is very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be returning if we visit San Diego again and would recommend it to anyone! Also, forgot to take pics as we couldn't wait to dig in :)

Service is friendly, instantly gives me that same vibe at my favorite fish and chicken spot back home in Chicago. Now the food? Smacks harder than Bruce Lee. Everything was fried to perfection. The catfish was flavorful without that muddy taste, the cod was light and flaky, and the shrimp? Big and great flavor. The whole wings hit the spot. I like to drench mine in hot sauce and ranch. Note: normally dinners come with three wings, but since they were on the smaller side they gave me four. Small gesture, big appreciation. Gizzards were clean, crispy, and fried just right and if you're about that spice life, definitely get them Chicago style (drenched in mild sauce). Even the fries deserve a shoutout. Most spots treat fries as an afterthought, but these had a crispy coating with a fluffy inside and some of the best I've had at a fish & chicken joint. I'll be back for sure. Welp! Onto the next Lipitor worthy food adventure!

It came with a whole grilled onion (cut in half), grilled jalapeños, rice, beans, tortilla, red and green hot sauce. The chicken had so much good flavor. The ribs were cooked to perfection!!!

This individual meal can feed 2 and they also had family style platters. Jose's is located at the corner of Market and 25th St. Nice urban environment with open windows for some breeze. I will definitely be back to try their ribs.

I buy the tuna regularly and can pre-order when I leave work and pick it up at the right time so it's not just in the bag waiting on me to pick it up. We order the tuna sandwich by separating the tuna in a bowl with the same condiments etc and a separate the Rosemary Parmesan bread. If you know my partner he sticks to what he likes. He prefers this tuna because it doesn't have some of the dill he can taste on the deli tuna salads from the supermarket. He loves the Parmesan bread. We order the regular size and then he probably will only eat half of it. The advantage of having it separate is to heat the bread when I get home and make a warm toasted bread with the tuna salad in it. I sometimes get my mini sandwiches like a California sub, Mike's Italian or Mike's Jersey Shore sub. I can prepare meals at home so I don't really need to order it but if I am lazy, I get the mini sandwiches, quick dinner meal. The service is fine, they recognize me with my request and if you do everything on the app, you get credit pts and accumulate enough and you get a free regular or even in time a free giant. They also have various offers on their app or they send mailers out once in a while like buy 1 sub get another free. I like this place since I stopped going to the other place. Overall, space is minimal, service is fine and you set when you pick up your order. By the way if you are from New Jersey, I am sure you remember Tasty Kakes, they carry those as desserts.

Today's order is the Big Kahuna, a cheesesteak with grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms, jalapenos and extra white American cheese. Can't go wrong with this hot sandwich right off the grill.
