Food was very good and would 100% recommend to others. krish had amazing service / very helpful.

Zectacular Nashville chicken! Newly opened family owned and operated delicious hot chicken restaurant. I actually got to meet the owner Matt, son and daughter, and they are a great trio serving all Halal meat, which is fresh, never frozen, farm raised; with no additives or preservatives. I don't think I've seen any other hot chicken spot that has Halal meat. The Nashville Sando was my favorite! I just love a good, spicy chicken sandwich! And with a big and juicy piece at medium heat, it was perfect! love that you can pick the hot level. I also tasted the bone-in wings with sweet Korean chili sauce and it was so good! The chicken tenders too...so flavorful! And I absolutely loved the Zecto fries, which are Buffalo fries with chicken bits slathered in their house-made Comeback sauce. It'll get you to come back for sure! They should totally bottle and sell this sauce! I also gotta mention there's a very cool game at the counter with a stop watch and button. You press it to start the clock, and if you can get it to stop right at 10:00, you get $10, and your photo up on the winners board! I tried it but went over by 10 seconds. I'll be back real soon to try that again, along with more mouthwatering meals! Oh on Fridays from 2pm-6pm they have a BOGO 1/2 off deal on the Zecto Fries! Awesome! read more

It was out first time being here and the food was fresh and really good! My wife got boneless wings and she said how soft they were. Chris was very attentive and would go around and ask how everything was doing. It got a little busy but he still managed to go around ask everyone sitting inside how they were doing. The tables were wiped down and chairs pushed in by Chris as customers would leave. read more

saw a reel for this place and stopped by! got the 3 pc tenders + small zecto fries (buffalo) both were great. you can choose sauce of choice for the zecto fries, would love to try the garlic parm. tenders are fresh and juicy! read more

Zecto Hot Chicken - 3 pc tender, small zecto fries (buffalo) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Fullerton, California

I tried Zecto the first week they were open and I honestly didn't like it at all. It was a combo of quality and taste, and I wasn't interested in returning. Recently I saw somebody at work had Zecto leftovers in the fridge, so I decided to give them a second chance and see if they had improved in the past 2 months. Chicken - The quality of the chicken was much better the second time, it was thicker and juicy. The first time it was pounded super thin and was dried out. I got mild spice, as their medium was too hot for me the first time. It was just alright, and there was a sort of burnt aftertaste. Mac & Cheese - The first time the sauce was so runny that it was like water, it wasn't even sticking to the noodles, all the sauce was pooled up at the bottom of the container. This time it was still runny but not AS bad. It's definitely lacking salt though, it's super bland. Sauces - A combo comes with a free comeback sauce, theirs tastes like bbq sauce mixed with mayo. I prefer the comeback sauces at other chicken places I have been to. I paid for a side of ranch this time, it was better than their comeback. I most likely won't try Zecto again. There are a few other chicken places within a small radius of here that I know I would be much more pleased with. I'm glad it was better the second time, but it didn't make me a fan. read more

The chicken here is amazing, they have spice levels for everyone whether you want it scorching or even plain. High quality chicken and generous portions. If you're dining in, the atmosphere is really chill with excellent customer service, would highly recommend read more

The food is amazing! My boyfriend and I always come here, our go to is the buffalo zecto fries. Each time we come here, the service is great, friendly employees and we get our food quick and accurately, we've never had an issue. It's a great place to sit down and enjoy our food. W spot read more

This place is so good. Chicken crispy and flavorful. Fries seasoned amazingly. Service is also perfect.

I've been to this place a few times since they've opened and I wanna say the chicken sandwich here tastes really good, trust me I have tried many hot chicken spots. Medium spicy is a good balance of heat, and the comeback sauce with fries is nice. I also want to point out that the customer service here is top notch when ordering inside or at the drive-thru. It can take some time to receive your order depending on how busy it is but I don't mind the wait since it's cooked fresh. Def would recommend. read more

Zecto Hot Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Fullerton, California

Came by for a quick lunch. Not the biggest fan of hot chicken but thought it would be a good option due to the ratings. Food was great (super juicy chicken and seasoning wasn't too overpowering). My one comment would be that I think the comeback sauce could use a little bit more tang/zest. From the crushed ice, sturdy to-go containers, and cleanliness of the restaurant, you can tell the owner really cares about his business and pays attention to the little details. The whole restaurant was super clean and tidy, and the music was good. Would come back if I'm craving hot chicken. read more

We decided on trying Zectos again.... We were craving wings so we got two 10 pc orders. Flavors: lemon pepper(10/10) Korean bbq (10/10) mango habanero (6/10 could use more flavor in my opinion) and Nashville (8/10 great flavor but too spicy ). read more

Food took about 25 minutes to come out, but there was only 1 cook, so that was understandable. The sandwich was decent. The tenders were alright in texture. Moist, but not very tender. The biggest issue here was the salt level. They either did not brine the chicken for long enough or did not have enough salt in the brine. Could not enjoy the tenders due to blandness. Has potential, may come back in a couple months. read more

Zecto Hot Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Fullerton, California

HANDS DOWN the best hot chicken place I've been to!! This place throws Dave's hot chicken out the PARK. This place is so real and authentic, the flavors are genuine and best believe they use fresh ingredients. I used to think I could handle mango habanero but after coming here you know they use the real stuff cuz that was HOT also highly HIGHLY recommend their chicken and waffles and their zecto fries both were spectacular. The staff as well were so nice and accommodating it was such a nice clean place. I loved everything about Zectos. Yall gotta try them! read more

This place is absolute fire!!!! Mathew was super friendly and the service was great!!

Zecto Chicken was really good. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Everything tasted so good. The staff were super nice and welcoming, and the service was quick. The place also had a really chill, comfortable vibe. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and recommend to others. read more

Really nothing special about this place. The chicken had no unique special seasoning taste to it. All I could taste was the heat and oil. The mild was very bland and the hot was just hot, that's it , no other flavor. The Mac n cheese is so bland, it tastes like the boxed Mac n cheese. The fries were ok. Their lemon pepper sauce is the worse tasting sauce I have ever tasted. Nothing at all like winstop lemon pepper flavor. In conclusion, I went and tried but won't be back. read more

Been going here since day 1 my favorite. The chicken Sando combo is and the service is great i definitely recommend this place.

can dine both inside or out both are perfect for eating with friends. Food is great juicy chicken ! crispy fries and they always correct their mistakes :) service is always great here. Has to be one of the best chicken spots in fullerton ! :)) read more

companies that charge extra for sauces or don't allow you to get certain sauces depending on what you order deserve jail time. i am paying an insane amount of money for two pieces of chicken and fries and then i have to pay extra for sauces or the fact that i can't get BBQ sauce because i ordered tenders??? wthelly??? the chicken is good but the principle stands. read more

Great spicy fried chicken. A Must try. Service is excellent. You won't disappoint.

This place is legit. The various heat levels to choose from are accurate. The hot is pretty darn hot. Next time I will try the extra hot. The prices are fair considering today's crazy economy. The facility is super clean. The service was super friendly. I am completely satisfied with my first experience here. I will be back. Glad to have Zetco Hot Chicken in my neighborhood. read more

GREAT FOOD, EXTRAORDINARY SERVICE. This is an easy yes when looking where to eat. I was met with a warm and welcoming yet chill greeting by Matthew, seems like he's the one runnin the place! Made some great suggestions, ended up trying the BUFFALO WINGS and the HOT TENDERS, both really good.... and I'm a wing buff. Anyways 10/10 would definitely return! Plus if you play a game when paying you can get a gift card! Love this place, can't wait to come again! read more

We waited forever for this place to open. We finally decided to give it a try and we are so glad we did! Food was VERY GOOD! Price might seem high but the serving sizes are worth the price. The spice levels are accurate! Definitely recommend them, we will be back again. read more

I've been yearning for a hot chicken spot in my neck of the woods and Zecto's totally fits the bill! I love that it's halal so my Muslim friends can enjoy the meals here but also can we talk about how nice everyone is at this place? They were so accommodating with recommendations and we got the four piece chicken tenders (mild or medium I forgot, oops) and the loaded Zecto fries with the spicy Korean glaze for the fried chicken. Both were prepared very well and you can taste the quality in each bite. Definitely coming back here for my fix! read more

I order a lot of catering for big groups and can confidently say this was fantastic. The whole team loved the food, which is showcased in the included picture. Chicken was crispy and juicy. At first I was skeptical of how filling the tenders would be, but I only ate 2 and I was so full. I also love how they came with bread, and the comeback sauce was delicious. If and when the opportunity presents itself, I will definitely be buying catering from them again. "Yum" - quote from a team member read more

Zecto Hot Chicken - Large Zecto Fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Fullerton, California

The food is very good, but the service is not. Some combos do not come with drinks and was not informed that. Also when me and my boyfriend ordered the cashier kept giving me his food and or if he asked for sides the cashier would only hand it to me and not my boyfriend. I found it very rude to be handed food that was not mine and then hand it to him. We ordered separately not together. I had to ask for my drink after ordering and getting my food but the cashier is not very friendly at all. I do recommend eating here but you will need to ask if any of their combos have drinks as some don't and some do and they don't specify that. It would be better not to label some of your meals as combos if they don't come with a drink or have the cashier explain that when ordering. Cashier is not very friendly and seems like us being there was inconvenience to him. I recommend going there for the food. But I would not recommend going in to eat, it is a very uninviting place and ALWAYS ask what meals come with drinks as they don't tell you. read more

We were looking for food to eat nearby and came across this restaurant. I ordered the sweet korean chili flavor that was recommended to me for my zecto fries and IT WAS SO GOOD! it wasn't very spicy, but the spice was there! The service was awesome and did not disappoint. I would definitely come back again and try different flavors :) read more

Zecto Hot Chicken - Regular Zecto Fries Sweet Korean Chili - Chicken Wings Near Me - Fullerton, California

Let me start off by saying. Man this place is the best for hot chicken that I have tried in Orange County! The size of their tenders is huge but man are they delicious! They have their sauce that pairs very well with their food and my wife and I always order an extra side because we love it! Moving to the customer service. They exceed the expectations that a customer should have as they check on all the people in their dining area and always make sure that the place is clean when time permits. We have visited this place during slow and busy times of the day and not once have we been disappointed with the service. If you want a great place to eat some hot chicken. This is the place for you! My wife and I will continue to come back to Zecto as it has become one of our favorite eateries in town! read more

Came looking for a late night snack. Did not disappoint. Excellent service from who I perceive to be the owner. Super stand up guy. They give a BUNCH of food especially for the price. Everything pictured came out to be $25. The cauliflower fries were good BUT I'm going to get the sauce on the side next time. I think that would just elevate the crispiness I was looking for. (Everything was still pretty crispy especially at the bottom). The sides are definitely underrated. Super simple but delicious. Not overwhelmingly sauced up or anything. Both were nearly perfect in my opinion. Will update review when I go back to try with sauce on the side, chicken, and maybe a milkshake. read more

Zecto Hot Chicken - Left to right: pink lemonade, cauliflower fries, mac, and coleslaw. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Fullerton, California

Zecto is a solid place near me. They have a variety of menu options, great service, clean interior, and daily deals! I especially love their bbq wings along with their sliders and chicken fries. They have a variety of flavor options and the fact that it's halal makes it even better. read more

The Medium Nashville Sandwich was very juicy and crisp. I could have used a little more spice , but it's my fault because I use the medium to gage establishments spice levels. I had a side of coleslaw as well which was very fresh. All the food was made to order and you can tell the quality of ingredients used . The drive through made it easy to grab and go and the server was very friendly and helpful. They have my vote and a customer for a long time to come. read more

I called to order the mac & cheese and coleslaw to take as sides to a potluck. The full tray seemed a bit much so I asked if I could do half and they were very accommodating and said yes! When I went to pick up, they were so friendly and provided great service. The restaurant was very clean and parking was easy which was a huge plus. I noticed they had a drive thru too. The food was a huge hit at the potluck and everyone loved it, even my picky kids. Will definitely be back to try the chicken next time! read more

Chicken strips are great. My fries were a little over cooked but overall they were good. I wish they change their toast to Texas toast, this will make a difference. read more

Great food!!! The chicken was fresh and the waffles were light and fluffy. The dipping sauces are unique. Definitely try spicy wings.

***update*** Late that night the owner, Matthew called me apologized for the missing items in my order. He refunded me for missing items and a sandwich. The refund came in almost right away. Two weeks later he followed up to ensure that the refund hit my account. I appreciated the follow up afterwards. Those sandwiches are so good! So I needed up coming here two days in a row because the Sandwiches are tasty with a great balance of flavor and spice. I got the regular hot. The max and chz isn't very good, and needs some improving. My three star review is based off missing items from order on 10/26. I called the store about my missing fries and they said they will contact me by the end of the day to set up a refund but had to call their manager/owner. No call back, read more

I got the xhot Sando and a side of Mac n cheese. The sandwich was a little smaller than I expected, but considering the price it's a good deal. I don't need a 1800 Cal sandwich for $15 like other places. The XHot wasn't as spicy as I expected, but hit a good spot that I'm sure they can ramp it up if they release the next level up. A delicious sandwich The Mac n cheese was solid. A little chilli sprinkled on top so it's not 1 dimensional. The Mac was tender but not too tender that they collapsed. It wasn't too salty either so it was a balanced meal and I felt pretty satiated The cashier was still training and was good. I had 2 different employees checking on me, great for a casual takeout type spot. I'll be back read more
