I would come in more often if I wasn’t given the stink eye every time for not replying in Spanish. Sorry, I’m not Latina!!! Food is good, though, not complaining about that. I just expect to be looked at dirty when they ask me something in Spanish and I’m like “I’m sorry, what?”

Didn’t even get my food, ended up leaving because they called my order then said it wasn’t for me but for a couple that ordered after me. Mind you I was already waiting 10 minutes for the one item. Just cut my losses and left, awful service.

Delicious food

Roast chicken a little dry and unseasoned. Otherwise it's a fair price.

El Pollo Supremo its chicken is char-broiled de la parrilla after marinated overnight (I hope they still do) with the secret Mexican family recipe of Robert Alvarez who opened first in Oxnard then expanded to the Bay Area and East Coast with his associates (*Cuban flavor kicked in 🤔) I have known this place on Geneva since late 90s but have been absent for about a decade until recently. In sum ❶Chicken is tasty but little dry as noted by other reviewers; ❷Sauce is not bad but could opt for a variety such as Peri-Peri suggested by Ed Yu 😉[*Unlikely though because Ramiro is gonna turn 82 🫡]; ❸ Beans and rice are decent ❹Tortillas are terrible 😔❺Price is reasonable after all no one wants “roll the dice” for fancy pricey new joints nowadays…

I got the 2 pieces with one side and tortillas. The chicken was really good and tasty. The tortillas were really good also. The price is very reasonable.

Think of this as non-chain El Pollo Loco with more variety of food such as fish. I really like the no-frill feel of the place and when you pay for your meal they don't have the stupid tip amount most other restaurants do when you pay with credit card.

The chicken is tender and reasonably priced. My main problems are 1. They need to develop some sauce for the chicken because the only sauce they have now is salsa which is not optimal for the chicken. The result of this is that I actually prefer El Pollo Loco over this place because of the choices of sauces. 2 Parking is ridiculously tiny (both in terms of availability and the size of each car stall.

If they had peri peri sauce it would've been perfect.

It's still worth going since there really isn't any El Pollo Loco nearby and I like the no-frill service and that tip is truly optional.
