“ Chicken is juicy and tender just the way I like it. Similar to El Pollo Loco but much better in my mind. Prices are excellent too, I got 1/2 Chicken, Salsa and 3 corn tortillas for 6.99. Can't beat that. Highly Recommended. We will be back ..... ”
“ Always been looking for authentic pollo rostizado or cooked over a grill just like TJ (pollo feliz, rey de pollo). Was nearby buying a mattress in the same location and had to try it. I gotta say, this place is fire! If you want authentic pollo over grill and not no fast food pollo loco that’s hit or miss, come here! ”
“ Went here based on Google review overall 4.7 and was not disappointed. It’s a small little place two tables and Spanish cartoons on tele. Cashier and cook were very nice, accommodating and bilingual. The chicken meat was moist and fell off the bone, the skin flavor was amazingly perfect and also had the perfect crisp. The side of Mexican rice was good and full pinto beans fitting. Hot corn tortillas and the fresh tomato salsa some of the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot! ”

“ This is our family, go to, for many many years. The service, drinks, and the food are soo good. But it’s ultimately the salsa that has me always coming back for more. With a place like this it’s easy to say, your a stranger here but once! Located at the huge Pmart parking lot facing Main Street ”
