Great food, the service was good and food came out quick. We had to get boxes because they had large portions but it was delicious! Sorry we only took pictures of the cool chicken pictures they had, this shows you the cool atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant. If I came to El Monte, I'd eat here again

Customer service was fantastic!Service fast.Parking easy during lunch.Prices were reasonable.Presentation was A+++I ordered fried chicken, steamed broccoli and a Mojito.The steamed broccoli was great. The fried chicken was good but I wouldn’t order again. I actually ate the drumstick which I normally don’t like. It was cooked and seasoned well—very moist on the inside but I didn’t like the crispiness of the outside. Tasted like roasted chicken that was battered and fried.My Mojito failed to meet my expectations. I prefer scratch Mojitos and Margaritas.I was super anxious to like this spot. It has a cool hipster vibe with an eclectic menu and eye-catching decor.

Wow! I was in the area and I'm so glad to have found this spot! Of all the chicken sandwich places that there are these days, this spot EASILY made it to the TOP of my list. Sheesh!

Insane menu! They have great combinations to choose from. They let you know the spicy levels up front. To me, the level 7 out of 10 was comparable to Tapatio.The Sweet & Spicy Chicken Sandwich with coleslaw has this amazing juice on the tray it comes on.Try the Poutine fries!

I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich be careful it was on fire! You know how something is good but your face and or head is dripping from sweat but you can't stop eating because it's that good (lol)... Truth be told, I could only make it to half the sandwich before I tapped my hand on the table and I said (UNCLE)

Had the fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. My wife had the small nachos and we shared the fried cauliflower appetizer. The only thing I would change is the size of cauliflower pieces as they were fairly large. We will be back 100%.

Food was good.We were a large party and I called ahead to make reservations. I did let them know we needed 2 high chairs. When we got there they only had 1 high chair available because the other one was being used. In the entire restaurant they only have 2 high chairs. We had to wait for the other party to finish, so we could get the 2nd high chair.

Great food. Sandwiches where a bit oily, but delicious. Fries had seasonings a bit spicy for the kids but also delicious. It's on the corner. Parking in the back.

We had a large party was seated within minutes and table service was almost immediate. We has a three year old who wanted to his fry’s they were very accommodating. Our waiter knew his stuff and went over the menu with US and made some very enjoyable recommendations. I had chicken with rice and cucumber salad..winner. Food was exceptional, arrived promptly after we ordered. Will definitely return.

The roasted chicken was not great. We ordered the Cuban. Their fried chicken sandwiches were good. Their all pastor nachos were disappointing they used canned super processed pineapple that made the experience worse. Their chipotle sauce was delicious. I just don't know how I got that when I ordered the garlic spread.

Dined in this evening, it was my first time trying this place, I was really exited. The food was a 10/10 but the customer service wasn’t as good as the food was …unfortunately.At first we got a young girl with blondish hair as our waiter, I asked her if I was able to substitute an item for something else and she said no which I understand… i told my boyfriend to go ahead an order and when he was done she just left and said I’ll be back… I thought it was weird for her not to ask me what I was going to get instead.She ended up not coming back and a guy came to place our order instead and even gave me options on what I can get similar to what I wanted …which I appreciated.We also didn’t get our drinks until the food came but only because we asked about the drinks.Later on we made the mistake to ask the same girl as earlier if we can have a side of chicken breast she looked and said ok she didn’t come back until later and said “so you wanted a chicken breast” we were literally already done with our food when she came to us so there was no point… it wasn’t really busy like that eitherWe also noticed that we were the only table that didn’t get asked if everything was okay or if we needed anything else.We weren’t rude to the waiters so I’m not sure why we weren’t attended like the other tables.The only one that did better than everyone else was the guy.

Is good, but not 15.99 for just the sandwich good. Price are out of control. Yeezzz, not even Howlin Rays charges this much.
