Chicken Shops near San Fernando, CA

“My go-to place for lunch never fails to hit the spot, especially when I'm absolutely starving. The high-quality chicken they serve is consistently delicious and always satisfies my cravings. The taste is truly unbelievable, and it's a perfect blend of flavors that keeps me coming back for more. Whether I'm in the mood for a hearty sandwich or a light meal, this place always delivers. It's not just about the food; it's about the entire experience that makes lunchtime something to look forward to every Wednesday“

“I gave 5 stars only due to the young man, Diego, that works the morning shift. His professionalism, work ethic, courtesy, kindness, respect, and pleasantness should be modeled by all fast food restrictions employees across the country. Including how welcoming he is. Ensuring that my food is always cooked to order and served to me with his smile of appreciation for my patronage; he takes pride in his work. Therefore, despite my initial decision over the past year to give up on KFC altogether; I return to this particular location only.“

“This is one of the best pollo locos!... Don't know why, but the food always tastes better here.... I only eat the avocado chicken burrito .. maybe it is just about proportions, the ingredients are the same but the overall taste is always better here than in the one by my house in Moorpark.... My only complaint goes for all pollo locos... buy some better quality aluminum foil... after unwrapping the burritos, the flour tortilla always has a metallic taste..... this feels very wrong to me....aluninum should not be an ingredient in Mexican food.....or any food for that matter....“

“I am 65 years old. We had dinner at Humble Bird Saturday night. I have never, repeat, NEVER had chicken this good. Crisp, juicy (but not dripping like other places), no grease in sight. We got mild, but used the hot honey supplied and what a combination of flavors. We also got potato salad and slaw. Both great additions to an already wonderful meal. The staff was really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The place was spotless. I live north of Seattle, but would consider driving down just for more of their chicken...Well, and to visit my kids.“

“best fry chicken in town 👍“

“The cashier provided outstanding customer service. She is assertive and Waba knowledgeable! The food is great! I recommend the chicken and steak bowl with a splash of teriyaki sauce! This location has a good atmosphere and my order was given to me pronto! Go Waba!“

“Dave's Hot Chicken delivers bold flavors and juicy, perfectly spiced chicken that hits the spot every time. The heat levels offer something for everyone, from mild to seriously spicy. The sliders are a must-try, especially paired with their signature sauce and crinkle-cut fries. Great for a quick, satisfying meal with a kick“

“Just came to Dave’s hot chicken, almost closing, and it was packed. Raul gave such a good service patient and working so fast by himself, he gets a five stars!! The food like always is always great. Wish it will be open much later like around 2 o’clock will be great.“

“Thank you 🙏🏽 for your generosity pollo campero and staff from the laboratory here at Pacifica hospital of the valley!!!“

“I got the boneless combo with spicy kalbi and I was hesitant at first because I don’t like boneless wings because they typical are all batter however these were perfect! So much meat and the right amount of crunch. Everything was packaged delicately for the fry-to-sauce ratio. The man who was working was very helpful and nice. I ordered a side of rice since I don’t like French fries, although I found myself eating all these fries hahaha. The pickled radish was a major swoon!!! So fresh, crunchy, and delicious. I was drinking the pickle radish juice it was so good!“

“Just went straight to hell. That’s some hot chicken. Will do it again.“

“This spot saved my hungry life the other night. I was out in the world longer than I wanted to be and pulled off at the truck stop LATE to see if I could roll up on a cute food truck or a drive thru for some late night vittles. ?Most things were closing or closed. It was too late for doordash or a different service & I had a ways to go before my destination.I pulled up to the Lunch Box & they were still alive! Not only alive, but service with a smile as well! Lovely, lovely customer service & EXCELLENT hot chicken strips with fries ? ? Yum! I HIGHLY recommend ?? ☺️ ??

Vegetarian options: Fries, tots, quesadilla“

“Today is August 17, 2022, I came back because I had to try the steak bowl with all veggies and I had a can of BUBLY grapefruit flavored. Aleksandra, Sadee, Corrina and The rest of the staff are a lot of fun we spent a lot of time asking them about which pole I should try. I finally settled on the ribeye steak bowl with no rice… I had to have the garlic Serano sauce which Karina made clear was her favorite and turned out to be mine too but I had to add a couple packets of hot sauce the grapefruit drink I was enjoying was perfect with the spicy flavor and the meat was cooked to perfection! the store is kept very clean! Waba Wednesday means two chicken bowls for $12.99!“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken is an absolute game changer! The food was nothing short of world-class perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every bite was incredible. If you love bold, delicious food, this is the place to be! Highly recommend! 🔥🍗“

“Omg. Shrimp spicy dumplings. Soooo good Red bean buns delish Scallion pancakes great Chicken crunchy and juicy“

“Fantastic food and friendly service! chicken is juicy and tender and the pink sauce...OMG. The jalapeño poppers are a MUST!“

“Ordered the original and sauce combo. Price point was fair. The boneless pieces were the issue, some came a little dry, and saucing consistency was a little uneven. There’s some latitude, given this was a pick up. Pick up was a little slower but not by much. The service area a little marred by the homeless pop around.“

“love FooDelicious! The food here is always incredibly fresh—you can truly taste the difference. Whether it's their vibrant salads, warm artisan sandwiches, or daily specials, everything feels thoughtfully prepared with high-quality ingredients. It’s the kind of place where you know your meal wasn’t sitting around—it was just made. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and a clear passion for good food. Highly recommend if you care about freshness and flavor!.

Roy R.. thank you“

“I had such a great experience at this location! I accidentally placed my order at another store and came here by mistake. The manager, Angel, went above and beyond to help me out. He personally contacted the other location, canceled my order there, and made sure my food was freshly prepared here without any delay. His customer service was outstanding, and he truly turned a stressful situation into a smooth and positive experience. Big thanks to Angel and the team for their kindness and professionalism! I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This was a takeout order .
In every flavor we have ordered, The bbq chicken is outstanding, always crunchy and juicy. (we haven't tried EVERY flavor. )
The reason I docked one point on service was only because sometimes they're done earlier than they say when ordering online. I recommend the spicy original flavor. It's our favorite!“

“the best Hawaiian sandwich ever!!!! it's a very long drive but worth every time“

“These tacos are freaking addictive!! I'll drive from LA for the tacos. Everyone, I highly, recommend this restaurant. It's extremely clean inside. They have a bathroom. And the staff are so courteous and professional.

Parking: Ample parking with handicap spaces.

Kid-friendliness: Family-friendly restaurant“

“Great dinning place to eat and the music So lovable ❤️“

“The waffles and chicken are delicious! It was out to me in record timing! The presentation of the food was spot on. The service was exceptional! I will definitely return for another great experience.“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“GREAT chicken. Very crispy and not too heavy like some others out there. Me and my wife ordered 2 small 8 piece bone-in wings (Original Golden flavor), fries and coleslaw. The fries were some of the best I’ve had. Coleslaw was fresh & not too sweet.

My only two gripes with the food are: 1.the price) A little on the expensive end, as back home (Palmdale) we could get an eight piece combo with fries and a drink for the same price as just an 8 piece wings here alone (Korean place too). All good though, inflation hits everyone. Means we just will come here once in a while. And 2) you can only choose one marinade per wing set. Every wing spot I’ve been to allows you to do 1/2 one flavor and 1/2 another. Pretty standard practice, so I thought that was a little disappointing.

One more thing I should mention about the service: I wish the lady (she was Asian) would have suggested me and my wife share a medium (16 piece). It is cheaper to go that route if you both want the same flavor ($30.99) versus two smalls ($33.98). Would have saved us some money and been a nice gesture, but it’s hard to expect that when someone is running a business. Didn’t realize until after the fact.

Anyways, I’d recommend giving them a shot. Just note the things mentioned above before going, if they matter to you.“

“Really good grilled chicken, decent portion sizes too. The tortillas are homemade, and it shows, they are delicious. The price is really good considering how much food they give you. I ordered over the phone for pickup, and it was ready right as I got there. Friendly staff as well. I'll definitely be coming back in the future.“

“Can't wait to come back on this store for treating so kind and helpful for their customers particularly for first time visit. Friendly staff and good quality of food, fast service too.

Dietary restrictions: great for health choice of food selection including the ingredients and the way the chicken was cooked and prepared.“

“My whole family loves the food! The Halal chicken is amazing—you can really taste the quality. Just a heads-up, it might be too spicy for some people. The cauliflower dish is so good, but it looks like it’s seasonal, so try it while you can. The workers are all super kind and respectful. they’re fast and very friendly!“

“I was pleasantly supprised by this place. I came in here when i was passing through the area and was feeling a little hungry. While there appeared to be other food options in the area, I decided to give this place a try.I ordered their beef dish with noodles. It was a little pricey and they did charge me a fee for using my card. But when the food finally came, it was really good. Very flavorful and quite a big portion. The meat wasn't all gnarly either, which is always a concern when ordering beef.One thing to keep in mind is that their menu in not that big.They did say that they've been open for about 4 months or so. I hope that this place makes it. There were not a lot of customers in here when I visited. They do seem to be more of a carryout type place though. And I also visited in the morning when it first opened.Overall, this place does have a few minor flaws, but the food is good quality and the portions are pretty large.“

“the chicken sandwich was fireee but surprisingly small for $8. the restaurant itself is way too big lol has a very empty feel, with that there’s no one to take ur order, order on one kiosk only which seems like a bad system. but the chicken was great.“

“the best Hawaiian sandwich ever!!!! it's a very long drive but worth every time“

“Everything about this place is awesome. From all the flavors to the honey that helps cool it down. The self serve soda. Even the seating of being indoor or outdoor is always a plus.“

“duh, the Chicken. it's so tasty“

“Nice people and muy atentos y amables todos“

“Me encanto es el mejor pollo del mundo“

“The food here is very delicious and fresh. The service is second to none. They pay attention to details, and they know how to make you feel valued as a customer. I definitely recommend this Chick-fil-A if you are in this area. They have a neighborhood friendly environment.“

“I come here about three times a week before starting my shift at work (1pm), and I have no complaints about the food or staff, but someone needs to fix how they constructed the parking spaces and drive-thru. During lunch, there's a line for the drive-thru (which is fine. That's what a drive-thru is for), but the line blocks the customers parked in their parking space trying to get out. I paid for my food in the drive-thru lane, but then I couldn't get out due to the horrible placement of this drive-thru.

9/23/24 update: 9 years later, I returned, and I am happy they solved their drive-thru dilemma. Their food is still cooked to perfection and delicious, and their customer service is still excellent. I will be coming here more often.“

“Date of Visit: 1/17/25
This is a little gem, it is a perfect restaurant for the area. Food was delicious, authentic and atmosphere was comfortable. The service was kind and gracious. Stop and give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Pros: great food, good service and decent prices
Cons: parking can be challenging

Parking: Restaurant located in a shopping area and parking is abundant but not necessarily close to the restaurant.“

“Nice Restaurant! Nice people and the crew. Good food, specially the fried chicken and the spaghetti.always fresh.😊👍“

“This is one of the best El pollo loco locations as far as I'm concerned. The employees are incredibly friendly and they keep the place very clean. And I just have to say that if you ever get rid of the Double Chicken Power bowls I will cry lol“

“no..me..dieron .salsa .suficiente .“

“Good service and clean bathrooms! I can't stand a dirty bathroom. 2 thumbs up! Food was delicious also!“

“I love to go to this location because food is great and the service is fantastic they make feel like home.“

“The place is spacious, it has a locked bathroom, you can eat there, the chicken is delicious, parking outside the mall, there is no wheelchair access, there are no games for children, the most important thing...... there is no air conditioning or I don't know if the day I went it wasn't useful“

“Really good. The portions are just a bit stingy for the price. I'd prefer the plate was like $22 instead of $18, and bigger. Still through, the quality is amazing. If your going with a friend split the potatoes to round out the meal, and your belly. Very high quality meal, loved it.“

“Fast And Friendly Service. ❤️👍“

“As someone who suffers from high blood pressure and usually experiencing headaches in the early morning after having sodium in my food.
I enJOYed my chicken bowl it wasn't high in sodium and I didn't experience a migraine early the next morning.
The service was good and the restroom was clean.
I will be going back here again.
I did a review on this restaurant already and for some reason it doesn't show, so here's review #2“
