“My first visit to Wingstop was a bit of a disappointment, as I tried their bone-in wings and found them to be underwhelming. However, a friend encouraged me to give it another go, this time with the boneless wings, and I'm so glad I did! The boneless wings were absolutely fantastic—tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked, with the Hot Honey flavor standing out as especially delicious (Garlic-Parm was a show stopper too, but skip the KBBQ). Great value for the quality and portion size, too.

While the parking lot can be a bit tricky to navigate, the kitchen area was impressively clean, almost laboratory-level, which was reassuring. The staff was also incredibly kind and attentive, making the overall experience much more enjoyable. Definitely worth a second visit.“

“I’ve been coming here for a while now, and every time the food is amazing. I’ve tried their fried chicken, fish, burgers, sandwiches, platters, and gyros, and everything has been fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

I came all the way from Jersey City just for the food because it’s honestly one of the best spots in Paterson. The fried chicken is always crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the portions are generous.

The customer service is excellent too. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and the food is always served quickly.

If you’re looking for the best fried chicken and halal food in town, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it and will definitely keep coming back! 🍗🔥“

They even went above and beyond by cooking new pieces of pork for me so that they can be fresh. The pieces of pork was just right with the right amount of meat and fat. Usually places I’ve tried had so much fat that I don’t get to enjoy the chicharones but not this location.“

“Huge thank you to El Boulevard Fritura y Chimichurri and especially the chef!

My buddy and I went after midnight the day after a snowstorm. A few other food trucks showed as open on Google but were closed, and this was the only spot actually open; which we appreciated right away.

Unfortunately, the roads weren’t plowed well and my car got stuck in the snow. The chef noticed immediately and ran out of the truck to help us. He even brought out a shovel and started clearing snow himself. That level of kindness and willingness to help late at night meant a lot. You don’t see that often.

On top of that, the pierna chimi was absolutely delicious; packed with flavor and loaded with meat. It had been a while since we had one, and it definitely hit the spot. Well worth everything we went through to get there.

Great food and even better people. Highly recommend!“
