Good service overall, been coming to this place for a while. The staff are always nice and, they take into consideration when I ask for my chicken well done. It took me a while to get it right, sometimes I made the mistake ordering wrong online or something and the staff fixed my order . Lunch time hours can be a rush for them, they offered me the lunch specials which was delicious.

The food was good. I got the Torta which is quite depressing most of the things that should be included in it, are actually extra! You want cream, cheese or guacamole (this one I understand) you have to pay extra for and if you don't want it you just get this sad Torta that only comes with meat, lettuce and one slice of tomato. How very disappointing! And the worst part is that it's $11. If you want a Torta go somewhere else that includes everything else for about the same price.

This place was definitely not worth my money. The rice and beans were ok but the chicken was horrendous

This is my second time coming to this restaurant and I've been satisfied with the food. There are not a lot of places in this area that have the traditional flavor in their food. I would suggest the 3 piece chicken plate since they give you lots of food for the price. Definitely worth the visit.

First-time client here,
I went in for lunch and got two pieces with two sides.
I opted for the frijoles charros and rice, I was asked for I wanted homemade salsa, pickled onions, and pickled carrots. The beans and rice were not warm enough to be served. However, they were edible. Everything had good flavor and will definitely come back to give it another try. The girl at the front had a good attitude. The atmosphere was a chill one.

Parking: Good luck finding parking in the middle of the day as there are more restaurants in this little plaza it's full. There is a side parking lot, so plan ahead.

Wanted to try their chicken for the past few months. I'm not sure why I waited this long. Got the whole chicken takeout with Maccaroni salad and Refried Beans. Absolutely delicious! Grilled chicken with mesquite. A touch of smokey BBQ flavor...moist and incredible flavor! WOW! Blows away El Pollo Loco. Maccaroni salad was close to mom's from WI. Sides were huge! Will be back soon and often!
