Food was good but 3-star review is due to service being mediocre, at best. Ordered food directly on their website and received a call to inform me that they no longer carried an item that was ordered. Asked for that portion to be refunded and was told they don't know if it could be because the order was put in? Was essentially forced to select a different side to replace it. I would imagine a business should update the menu on their website for customers to place online orders. Specifically did not select a rice option due to dietary restrictions and they filled the bowl with rice anyway so I ended up having to eat around it.

Ordered takeout online and showed up to a closed storefront with no one inside. Did they close down and not update anything?
Good, quick, generous portions, and never busy only because the location has a tiny parking lot in front. But plenty of parking in nearby lots. Worth trying all three main chicken flavors here: Latin, Mediterranean, and Huli-Huli.

There was nothing green on the menu at all and half of their options had black tape of them then. Food quality was on par with a Popeyes but much more expensive. Service was disappointing and the two total workers seemed very unhappy.
Vegetarian options: No options aside from fries or rice.

This place is a hidden gem. The Latin style chicken is fantastic as are the yucca. Please pay them a visit if you’re in the area!

Just tried it for the first time tonight. Ordered online two bowls, one Mediterranean and one Latin. Very purposefully did not check off the box for jalapeño sauce on one because I am very sensitive to spice. Picked up my order, got home, and both bowls were absolutely smothered in sauce with extra on the side. It was basically inedible. Won’t be going back because I can’t trust the online ordering.
Simply put the food was delicious and very filling. Service was great. Simple menu means that they can focus on one thing and get it right every time and that one thing is chicken. I totally recommend this place for casual dining.
Great food! This place had choices for creating your own choice of bowls or plates, similar to the chipotle or mezzanine chains but much better food and generous portions. We got the custom bowls that allow 8 sides. My husband ordered the white chicken meat, rice, black beans, red onions, pita chips and corn - double portions. I also ordered the white chicken and rice bowl with avocado, tomatoes, pico de gallo, onions. The sauces are really delicious too! The place offers middle eastern Halal food that ensures it is high quality.

Everything about this place was such good quality. I came here with friends for their chicken sandwich, and trust me when i say this you will always come back after trying it. I hope this place the best of wishes and I can’t wait for my next visit here.

Love their Huli chicken. Employees always seem like they hate their job! Please hire someone with a smile.

Cute clean place with good service, but good God the food is so underwhelming. The fried chicken sandwich is the worst one I’ve ever had; don’t even waste your money here, the sandwiches at Popeyes, Chick Fil A, and Hangry Joes are infinitely better. The sandwich literally had zero flavor. I couldn’t get through more than a couple bites and neither could my boyfriend, who we normally jokingly refer to as a human garbage can due to his ability to eat pretty much anything. Yeah. That’s how bad it was. He’s the least picky eater ever, so when he even says it’s the worst chicken sandwich he’s ever had, I know it’s serious ?The peruvian chicken was aight, it was on the dryer side and not too flavorful, but after the very low bar that the sandwich set, it was at least edible. But again, any other hole in the wall spots like Little Peru Peruvian chicken are so much worth your time. Two stars just because the people were nice but that sandwich barely even deserves half a star. Will not be returning, and I recommend you don’t waste your time here.

We came here when they first opened and were not impressed with the food / selection of food. Decided to give it a try again. The folks have been very nice and friendly. The service is good. Ambiance is very lsid back. The Latin bowl is very delicious and has great seasoning. Great flavored. If you like eggplant, you should try the fried eggplant. Tried the spicy chicken sandwich. It was ok. Tasted good. It was not spicy. The sauce was poured over the sandwich made the bread soggy. That's more of a personal preferance. I will try the regular chicken sandwich next. Not really an issue with food. Ambiance is laud back.

I love the Latin rice bowl. The chicken was marinated perfectly and the sauce was a nice touch. It’s kind of on the expensive side ($12 for rice bowl) considering the portion size. But overall the food is amazing and the staff were pleasant.
