Great quality, portions and price! Felt like I was in Mexico. So rare given how expensive the Bay Area has become. Highly recommend!

Excellent super burritos ?. However those tortilla chips they give on the side are the best in the bay area, they brought me home.

We were obsessed with this chicken sandwich and fries. We went to order and it appears it may no longer be available. Please bring it back, you nailed it - ten out of ten from me!

Aka Pollo Picante during the limited menu offering there doing during covidReally amazing spicy fried chicken sandwich. It comes dusted with habanero powder which you can ask for more of if you like. I enjoyed eating very spicy things and did not find the default dusting that spicy.It's a lot like the Popeye's Chicken sandwich but much much bigger and better with two chicken breast pieces placed on one delicious bun.Also I had no idea this place made some of the best fries I've had in recent memory.

The chicken sandwiches are amazing! Some of the best I've ever had but the service is bad, I've called in lunch orders 3 times now and show up 20 minutes later just to find they haven't started the order. No matter when you call in prepare to wait as if you never called. Still worth it if you have the patience or time.

For those who haven't heard, the owner of el burro picante has implemented a chicken sandwich pop up restaurant within his own business. As far as I know this pop up restaurant only serves Thursdays and Fridays from 6pm Now let me tell you about EL POLLO PICANTE, if you are a fan a spicy chicken sandwich you gotta try this place, correction YOU MUST try this place.. man is the bomb!! The chicken is well seasoned and lightly breaded, wich it gives a perfect crispyness and crunch to the bite, the meat is tender and juicy and the flavors are to die for, and all that hold on to a soft brioche buns.. my mouth it's watering just to think and write about it! I visit el pollo picante on the 2nd day of opening and they served the sandwich with a small side coleslaw salad, which will mellow the spiciness if you can't take the heat.. now in my most recent visit the lovely and gorgeous cashier offer a side of honey sauce to try it out with the sandwich.. man!! That put this sandwich in a whole different level... man! That's even more A-M-A-Z-I-N-G... I highly suggest to pay them a visit!!
