Chicken Shops near La Mesa, CA

“very good food...service 👍“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best fried chicken and fried shrimp! if your here you must try“

“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.“

“Food is always on point and the people very friendly. But I wonder how important cleanliness is, it feels that everytime I go, the tables and floor are a mess. I get that a lot are disgusting and don't know how to clean after themselves, but as a restaurant, they should consider cleaning the dinning area. Hope this doesn't come off in a wrong way, but that's an important part in my opinion.“

“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.“

“First time customers & I have to say they serve the best glazed blueberry biscuits & sweet tea. The restaurant itself has plenty of seating & the customer service was great. The macaroni & chicken sandwiches were delicious as well. This spot was definitely worth the drive. This is a must try if you're in the mood for something sweet & savory.“

“Food was good and a good value. Crispy skin on the chicken and salsa roja is really good. The best part was the employees. Super friendly and dine in service was really fast. You can tell they have a great team. The manager went above and beyond. It was my first time trying El Pollo Loco and I’ll be returning to this location for sure.“

“This place was delicious I had the normal melt with bacon the chef Atoy did a great job cooking our burgers timely and to the right temp
One thing to note is it doesn’t automatically come with tomato or lettuce but you can add them in for free“

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

“Excellent service, amazing and delicious food. Highly recommended!“

“My husband who has celiac disease loved it!! The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. This is the best fried chicken we’ve had since my husband was diagnosed. Unfortunately the sauces aren’t gf so we didn’t try those. The restaurant was very clean and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back!“

“This place has impressed me. The food is incredible and the atmosphere is very good. I really enjoyed eating at this location. Everyone is also very kind and very patient. But the person I really want to thank was Samara. She really treated me well and helped me a lot. She is a great manager. She was very patient with me I loved it Of course, I will return again to continue trying new things on the menu.“

“Great food, loved the chicken I had. Had the hottest of their offerings and loved it. Just a perfect amount of spice and loaded with flavor for me. Jalepano hot I would call it. Staff was friendly and helpful. Luch special was affordable and delicious. Loved the sides that came with the special. Food was ready quickly. I'll be back.“

“El mejor pollo del mundo Pollo Loco, siempre rico“

“Very impressed! After speaking with the proprietor for the very first time, I knew at that moment that I had found what I had been looking for.
Not all of us who claim that we can cook should actually be in the kitchen preparing food for others.
However this woman is the exception.
The ingredients, the flavor, the taste , and the freshness is right on the money and worth every dime.However there is one main ingredient that most people leave out of their cooking which leaves a bitter taste in everything they cook. You cannot cook or prepare food without this ingredient if you want to be successful.
That ingredient is PASSION. You can taste this woman's passion in every forkful. Her menu is varried and no easy task. From the chitlins to her Shrimp pancit, to them kickin greens. CLARA'S KITCHEN is no joke!!!“

“El Pollo Loco holds a truly special place in my heart. Growing up in the 90s, my parents used to take my sister and me here all the time, and every visit brings back memories of a simpler time. Today was my first time at this specific location, and it is easily one of the best I have ever been to. While the Mack Road location in Sacramento will always be my original favorite, this San Diego spot is neck and neck with it. Thank you to the team here for serving great food and letting me relive some of my favorite childhood memories.“

“la calidad de sus ingredientes su forma de preparar el marinado a sus tiempos el estilo de pure sus salsa de la casa y sobre todo su atencion.saludos equipo hector mayra y carlos“

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

“Excelente !!!! Rápido y muy“

“I love their chicken wrap“

“There was a long line and Evan was the only one in register, there were more people in the back and they were doing nothing but staring and laughing at him. There was a white, short girl with glasses that was literally just standing there and not getting in register to help. The food was great and despite being in a rush, he was great to us. When we got our food in our table I tried giving the short, white girl with glasses our tray because I didn’t need it and she tried telling me to keep it or to put it away myself instead of just doing her job. Evan was great“

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

“the grilled breakfast sandwich & Cobb salad wit & Arnold Palmer is delicious 😋“

“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. 👍🏽💪🏽“

“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“

“The Best Grilled Chicken !!!“

“Tasty fast food courteous staff“

“I really wanted some chicken and it's hitting the spot!! I don't know if you are bone in or boneless however, I got boneless spicy chicken with waffle fries and a chicken biscuit that I'm going to eat for breakfast in the morning. I'm satisfied so all I can say is go try it for yourself and make your own discovery. If it's you, it's for you. If it's not then don't go back.“

“Great Mexican food... 🤡 WHOOP WHOOP“

“Excelente servicio y la comida maravillosa“

“Muy sabroso y muy amables“

“Yulma is amazing!
Great food and an even better experience! The manager Yulma was lighthearted, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. The atmosphere was cheerful and full of positive energy. It was refreshing to see the employees enjoying their work while still providing some of the best customer service I've experienced. I'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers is a popular fast-casual chain known for doing one thing really well: chicken fingers. The menu is intentionally simple, focusing on high-quality chicken tenders served fresh, crispy, and consistently flavorful.

The chicken fingers are the highlight—tender, juicy on the inside with a light, crunchy coating on the outside. They are typically paired with Cane’s signature sauce, which adds a tangy, savory kick that many customers love.

The combo meals are straightforward and satisfying, usually including chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, and a drink. The simplicity of the menu helps ensure fast service and consistent quality.

Service is typically quick and friendly, and the restaurant environment is clean and efficient, designed for high turnover without sacrificing experience.

Overall, Raising Cane’s delivers a focused, high-quality chicken finger experience with great consistency, flavor, and speed.“

“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!“

“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.“

“mac and cheese. beans and rice. mash potatoes.“

“te atienden muy amable y no te asen esperar mucho“

“It's not often we are impressed by the environment of a fast food restaurant, but this KFC was an exception. We were greeted by a very friendly cashier (Mauricio) as we walked in. The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained. Our food was hot and arrived promptly. Kudos to the management and staff that runs this KFC in El Cajon!“

“I love KFC pot pies. I Ubered a very smart and upbeat young man to his job site, KFC. The gifted pot pie was awesome. Thank you, Braxton, for making my day a better day and a tastier day, for sure. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Nice meal , I enjoyed it .“
