“Great food! Been here many times, and always have a good experience. However, they charged gratuity on a party of 4, so be careful. I tipped on top of their 16% added into my bill. Waitress of course didn’t mention the added cost and I didn’t notice until after the fact. Seemed odd for such a small party, but feel they should warn us while paying“

We ordered the birriaqueso tacos and the asada fries with a guava Jarritos. Everything was hot and top-notch delicious. Would recommend and definitely going to eat there again!“

“Great flavor tacos, you can take out or seat, the seating area is large enough so you don't feel on top of each other.

The chiles asados (grilled peppers) were a nice compliment.

From the outside it looks sketchy but it was pretty good 😊

Forgot to mention that this is a cash only place, so be aware of this.“

“I love trying new Mexican places, especially the whole in the wall... mom and pop places. Everything is homemade. NEVER ever had a salsa that tasted like theirs. I am a hot fan... it may be a little spicy for some. This place has been here for 43 years. Well they are in a new building. They were a few over, but there was a fire and now in a new building. What drew me in was the pictures on how they hook up the tostadas. To my surprise they actually have the goooddd tacos. MmmmmGo bless/support your local, small places. This is cash only establishment and they are opened everyday 10 to 7pm.“

“Pollo Chapin is a fantastic little lunch or dinner spot in Southwest Detroit. If you're expecting traditional Guatemalan food, there are a few staples like tamales on the menu, but the real star here is the fried chicken. The chicken was cooked fresh and was absolute crispy and delicious perfection. The side dishes range from french fries, to salads, to black beans, all of which are enjoyable. While I waited for my meal, the restaurant also provided a cup of flavorful chicken noodle soup, that puts the typical bland versions of the dish to complete shame.Worth noting that the restaurant has it's own parking lot and the dining room, while small, had several four-top tables for seating.“

Service is fantastic and you couldn't ask for better prices. My advice, go early, this place gets packed quick.“
