Chicken Shops near El Cajon, CA

“Had a great experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken! What really stood out was the amazing customer service from Diego. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s always nice when someone goes above and beyond to make your experience enjoyable. Thank you, Diego, for the great service! I’ll definitely be back“

“Great food and even better atmosphere and service today. This location had the sandwich and got them out in a timely manner!! Will definitely be back. 👍🏽💪🏽“

“Tasty fast food courteous staff“

“The Best Grilled Chicken !!!“

“The place was hoppin’ when we got there, a man wanted to know when his food would be ready, and the guy on the register was very polite, reasonable, reassuring and RESPECTFUL. We had a delay but not that long. The drive through made it very clear why. The employees were working fast and diligently, and I was, to say the least, pretty impressed. I read some of the negative reviews here and don’t think they are deserved, according to what I saw, on Tuesday.“

“The store is wonderful, the team really cares about its customers and will go above and beyond to help out customers when they're in need. It's a rare thing in 2026 to find a fast food that truly puts their customers first. Thank you to Victor and has team 🙏“

“This place has personally become my favorite branch! The service is excellent, the place is super clean, and the food is absolutely delicious. Special thanks to Rey for being incredibly kind and attentive. He really made the visit even better!“

“Ordering is a breeze with their order kiosk. The food was ready within a few minutes after ordering. The biscuits are buttery and soft on the inside and a slight crust on the outside. The blueberry biscuit was lightly sweetened but with a good amount of blueberries. Everything we ordered looked and tasted freshly made. We will be back to try the other options sooner than later“

“The clerk was a nice guy but not keen on the obvious. I ordered a 15 piece wing combo and he asked if that was for here or to go. Who would dine in and eat 15 wings by himself? Chuckled all the way home. Poor guy.“

“Visiting family from the East Coast and my daughter took me here today. I was stationed in Daegu South Korea for 2 years while in the Army. we used to get bb.q chicken almost every weekend. The kids loved it and so did I. This was my first time having it in 8 years and it immediately brought me back to being in Daegu. The food was amazing and brought us right back to being there. I highly recommend you check them out, you won't regret it!“

“This was my family's time first trying out this place and I've got to say the chicken has a unique crisp to it and is very flavorful and it's one of my favorite.

The wings I've had in a very very long time everyone loved him including my kids and the non spicy options were great for them we got the secret sauce as well as the Galbi wings.“

“Great customer service. Food came quickly and was so fresh. Highly recommended the Korean side chick and fries amazing!!!“

“Seems like the portions are getting smaller I went here to get the chicken and waffle meal it was decent the waffles could have used a little more toasting sandwich was good not great hashbrowns were good and got a lemonade they have good lemonade“

“el sabor,y los condimentos, todo muy rico“

“I ordered something a specific way and it was not what i received, upon stating so to the person that took my order i received what i felt like said- i was putting them out for a shredded chicken instead of chopped. I shut my mouth and sat and ate and about half way through my meal she brought over the original ask. I now dont think she was being rude as much as i dont think she really understood my language and ask., either way the only thing worth remembering is that one human tried to make it right by another human. That experience was worth it. Theres always a lesson in our occurrences, we all need some grace,“

“The food was absolutely delicious! The greens were really good, cooked just right, seasoned to perfection .The yams were cooked just right and flavorful, and the spinach was seasoned just right. I will definitely be going back for more good meals.“

“Delicious food for a great price! Very clean, friendly, professional service.“

“I love their chicken wrap“

“very clean how they handle the food, no flies in the tea or flying around inside the food areas. unlike the other El Pollo Loco in Lemon Grove poor cleanliness.“

“It was too busy and orders were coming out burnt (guy next to me), or in my case....cold. Fried zucchini
should come out hot. I don't think I've had that big of a problem here it's just between forgetting to put things in your bags when you're in the drive thru, things like that then of course there's the less food for more money thing. Try the times when they're not busy. I mean the food is good it's just inconsistent.“

“came with my family to eat during lunch time everything was hot and fresh. Fast Service clean restaurant friendly team and what can I say about the kitchen team Serving hot food thanks“

“I’m loving the wings here. I was not too impressed initially ( 2 years ago) and decided to give it a second try and I’m glad I did! The wings were super juicy and adequately seasoned, the bread was freshly baked and fluffy. I recognized that more people are here as well. Nicely done.“

“excelente agencion a los compensates. precios economicos muy amables“

“Nice quiet kfc fastfood in Bonita. The service is fast, place is clean, and staffs are somewhat friendly. I ordered what used to be a $5 fillup is now almost $6, still reasonable for two pieces of chicken, side, biscuit, chocolate chip cookie, and a regular drink. Some of the benches need to be replaced, but overall, very comfortable with the dining environment. Hidden away in a non busy area of bonita.“
