The flavor of the chicken is really good! I like the fact that I can see them taken out the food of the rosticery oven and placing it into the to go plate, that way I know its clean! The price is good too!

This chicken is amazing! We would drive by all the time and never stopped but always curious. Thank goodness we finally did. It is absolutely delicious! My daughter is not much into eating chicken but decided to get a chicken burrito. Her eyes lit up as she took the first bite. She loved it. The best part, it is reasonably priced.

Great food! We always come here for our rotisserie chicken. Its worth the wait sometimes we wait up 20 minutes but everything is fresh and warm. Rice and beans very home style flavor. Thank you guys for the great service and food.

Went on a Thirsday around 5pm. No waiting, quick service. Clean. Good food, they serve you good portions, the salsa is really good. The price was right 3 piece with 3 sides and a soda, tortillas. Friendly staff. I will be back.

Tasty healthy chicken. Good prices, I usually buy the jumbo pack, $36 for three rotisserie chickens, large potato salad, beans, rice, tortillas, salsa, and a two liter soda. They run out of chicken if you go too late. Call ahead, they will have the order ready. The parking lot is very small and its always hot in there, so 4 star instead of 5

The food is alright I suppose. I come here every once and a while and I’ve noticed 2 of the cooks are very friendly with each other😅 They get very touchy with each other but otherwise the food is decent

A must try. Juicy and tender chicken. The price is also a great choice for those of us on a tight budget. I got the 2 whole chickens special. It includes tortillas, salsa, three large sides consisting of beans, rice and potato salad and a 2 liter soda. All for 24 bucks. Deliciously affordable.

Delicious pollos. If something is needed to make this place better, a smile from the cook and the cashier will work. If not, Ill still come for a pollo or two and leave as a one more costumer for the day. 😔

The star here is the rotisserie chicken, as it should be. The available sides do a decent enough job in their supporting role. The staff is always friendly and for the large amounts of food, the combos are appropriately priced.

A small place with a very comfortable atmosphere to enjoy their chicken fresh out of the oven.Very good indeed.

Review №148

2023-07-06 23:09:45

I was scared, they are super expensive, the special is two chickens for 36.99 plus tax, but if it is the taxi, 9.95 would be like 40.68 and they charged me 42.78. The truth is that it is an abuse to buy there, I just hope that these very expensive chickens are worth it.It was not worth paying so much for some super overcooked chickens that when I tried to serve them they all fell apart, I will look for a better place for the next one.

Review №149

2022-11-15 16:19:57

The only thing I like is the chicken and the sauce. I dont recommend the tortillas or the rice, personally. It is a roasted chicken but very juicy, they cook it very well, the process lasts two hours. For children and chicken lovers I recommend it, I give it 5 stars.
