    Half Chicken Combo
    Chase K.

    Came here while searching for a burrito spot. Thought to myself why I'd get a burrito from a place named super pollo, and went with the half chicken! I writing this 5 star review while standing waiting for my order because it smells like HEAVEN IN HERE! The chickens are cooking over the flame in the window and the smells are just incredible thru this small interior. The exterior patio is huge and I am excited to bring my family and stroller as it is very accessible. Now the food... I witnessed them ladle the lemon garlic butter over the platter chicken I am droooling! I got home and this chicken is for REAL! I utilized the tortillas and made 4 chicken tacos with the rice and beans and their spicy salsa and for $17 this was MONEYYY! The chicken was juicy and tender and dripping in that lemon garlic butter the beans from the pot simmering on the stove were perfect and the rice was phenomenal. I will Be going back!!

    Super Chicken Quesadilla Burrito (vegetarian)

    I've come here a couple of times in the evening and it's never been too long of a wait - they have outdoor seating which is convenient. This place is nice not only for their meat options (I've tried the quesadilla and burrito) but also because they offer vegetarian options. I have a dear family member who is vegetarian so having that option is really nice, plus it tastes fantastic! Lots of good quality food for a reasonable price. Overall a very good casual spot for Mexican food.

    Super Chicken Burrito

    So disappointed. I came here starving after being at Hoag with someone. I looked at yelp before I got here and it looked pretty good. I ordered and it came out to $14.22 which was way more than the menu. They charge more if you use card. The burrito is not super, it's small. It also was bad, it reminds me more of some healthy chicken wrap with some beans than a Mexican burrito. I also asked for it wet and they said if I did that they would take stuff out of it so I left it alone. I also got an order of fries for someone else and they were $6 and soggy. If you actually want a good Mexican burrito that won't leave you disappointed go somewhere else please.

    Delicious and moist chicken! Drove by and decided to try it and it did not disappoint. The service was friendly both on the phone and in person and they made sure to double check to make sure that the order was right with no cheese. We got the half chicken with garlic and it was so tasty. The rice and beans were average but the chicken was def the super star. Interior was quaint but clean. Tiny parking area but easy enough.

    Super breakfast burrito with chicken, pico de gallo, and homemade guacamole
    Tommy L.

    Best breakfast burrito in Newport Beach! Here's why. This spot's been around forever. I was a local here for years, moved away, and now that I'm back, this was one of the first places I had to come back to first. Their breakfast burritos are sooo good. If you've never been here, it's a small spot with a pretty decent size patio. I don't remember it being this big before, but now there's plenty of outdoor seating. I got the Super Breakfast Burrito with grilled chicken. It's loaded with hash browns, refried beans, cheese, two eggs, and all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. I asked for side of the fresh pico de gallo and guacamole! That extra boost is what makes it the bomb. The burrito's packed and every bite gives you a little of everything. Their spicy salsa brings a nice little kick too. One of the things I've always liked about this place is how they grill the chicken right in front of you. You can actually see them working the grill, chopping it up fresh, and the smell is unreal. The service is always cool, really friendly. Just good vibes, great food, and I'm glad to be back in Newport with this back in my rotation.

    Today I came in around 9:07 pm I order for my family end up $70.00 I'll upload the receipt. When my uncle insert the debit card to pay. System ask for $17 for tip. Since my uncle declined. The lady got upset. That she didn't even say Thank you. We ate our food there outdoor 9:30pm she close the doors. Came out side to start cleaning. No word came out from the lady. Make sure if you end up going give at $20 tip. Just for them to take the order The food wasn't that great..

    Very fast service and really good authentic Mexican food! I found this location by surprise and when visiting a Walgreens and I'm really happy to have gone here. I ordered the Super Carne Asada burrito for $14 and it was sooo good. It comes with hot sauce and is moderate in size. I would love to come back. There's seating outside and with shade, but I strongly feel it would be good for to go/pick up orders just due to parking. Check out the most menu photos attached (:

    Everything was fresh, taquitos were hot and had good flavor. The burrito was a little on the small side but still very good. Excellent salsa and hot sauce. Definitely less expensive and better flavor than all the fancy overpriced taquerias in Newport. Workers were all friendly, little dirty but it was at the end of the day. Only outdoor seating or to go.

The chips and salsa were really good. The aguachile had a nice spicy flavor that made it stand out. The queso fundido was SO good super cheesy, and paired with the handmade tortillas it was one of my favorites. We also ordered the calamari and I was surprised by how good it was. Everyone ordered different rounds of cocktails throughout the night and honestly, not one missed. Service was a little slow, but it was a busy Friday night, so that's somewhat expected. I've been here before and the grilled octopus tacos and carne asada burrito were just as good as I remembered them. They also made the birthday celebration really cute. They sang happy birthday, brought out a small ice cream, and gave my friend a big mariachi hat. Good food, great drinks, and still consistent as I remembered it. So long Playa Mesa. 9.5/10

The birria tacos were packed with flavor, and I loved the inside-out cheese crust. My husband's fajitas were flavorful, although the chicken was a little overdone. The guacamole was excellent, especially with the pepita seeds adding great texture. Overall, we enjoyed the flavorful food, service, and atmosphere. We'd definitely come back!

I've been shopping at this location for about a year and have been a customer of Northgate Markets for several years. Unfortunately, my experiences at this location have become increasingly disappointing. I've encountered raw chicken left on the shelf two or more days past its expiration date, fresh fruit and salsa still being sold after their use-by dates, and produce that was visibly rotten and infested with bugs. These aren't minor issues when it comes to a grocery store--they're basic food-safety and quality concerns. And then there's the customer service. Today, there wasn't a friendly employee in sight, and the customers weren't much better. I'd especially like to thank the grumpy woman on the scooter who apparently tried to run me down three separate times. I assume you were having a bad day, but judging by the atmosphere in this store, it seems like everyone is having a bad day, every day. No one smiles. No one acknowledges customers. No one seems remotely interested in providing even basic courtesy. I understand that people have bad days--I really do--but when the entire experience consistently feels cold, hostile, and unwelcoming, it becomes a pattern rather than an isolated bad day. The cashier couldn't be bothered to say hello back or even make the slightest attempt at being friendly, and the young man bagging my groceries was just as dismissive. I've spent years shopping with Northgate Markets, which makes this especially disappointing. Customers shouldn't walk into a store and feel like they're an inconvenience for simply being there. Today was the final straw for me. There are plenty of other places willing to take my money while treating me--and other customers--with basic courtesy and respect.

We shared: Camarones à la diabla, menudo, and chingolingas. The camarones were 10/10! I've tried this dish at numerous restaurants and this is by far the second best tasting camarones à la diabla I've ever had. First place is a restaurant in NorCal from years back. The red salsa is delicious! The shrimps are a nice size and they have the shell on so it retains all the flavor. Even the beans and rice were delicious. The menudo was delicious as well! I'll definitely be back for this too. It's only served on weekends, and we were lucky they still had some available. The chingolingas are almost like flautas de pollo, it came with guac and sour cream. They were delicious too, however, I'll probably order this as an appetizer or to share with others. Rocky was our server and he was amazing! Super friendly and attentive. We talked about the food, other locations, and even their anniversary event coming up on October. From the moment I drove in until we left, it was a great experience. Not only was the food delicious but the service was superb. All the workers seemed happy and it looks like a nice environment to work at, I think this adds to the experience for people who come eat here. It's nice to see everyone working together, smiles, and being to attentive. I almost hesitated coming here because I thought it was going to be Acapulco style "Mexican food" but I was wrong. Definitely real Mexican food.
