What Diners Are Saying
Diners loved
We always stop by when in the area. Great food and friendly service. Juices are fantastic also!
Family loved it, great flavor. Highly suggest if you’re in the area. 10/10.
Pollo adobado is the best!. They should make a spicier Salsa though.
Great chicken. Chicken is always hot, not over cooked and great taste.
Some noted
Maps said they closed at 9pm. They closed over an hour early on two separate occasions.
Over priced meals, rice was stale , and the beans were dry.
We ordered the grilled chicken meal, the chicken was very dry and burned, the chicken looked like leftovers from the past day.

“The chicken dinner here is utterly phenomenal.”
The chicken dinner here is utterly phenomenal. The chicken dinner for two is very generous in portions and the chicken tastes just like its been grilled in the backyard. An excellent choice.

We ordered the grilled chicken meal, the chicken was very dry and burned, the chicken looked like leftovers from the past day. Same thing with the tomato sauce and rice. Not fresh food any more, please check your food before take any order home.

“Their chicken is delicious.”
Their chicken is delicious. However, their mashpotatos w/gravy and grilled jalapeños is food for your SOUL. P.S. Their pineapple smoothy refreshes the palate.

“The Chicken dinner is the greatest thing ever, worth it my mouth waters thinking about it.”
The Chicken dinner is the greatest thing ever, worth it my mouth waters thinking about it. I have been coming here for over 10 years and the quality is the same. Such a delicious meal, beans, tortillas, cole slaw, salsas, rice and the veggies all for around 20 bucks. You can feed the whole family! What a deal! I love this place. I want to go there right now. When i had surgery I requested someone bring this to me because I craved it so much. They have like 50 chickens going at one time on the grill, they have it down to a science.
