Sometimes the traditional ways are the best. That’s why even after nearly four decades we continue to marinate whole chickens in our family marinade of citrus, garlic and spices several times a day, every day. That’s why our seasoned Grill Masters still grill them low and slow–the traditional way, for 55 minutes over an open flame. That’s why generations of families gather around our Mexican entrees and family dinners year after year. And that’s why our enduring commitment to the principles of hard work, doing things the right way, and always starting with the best ingredients available will never change.
Fast-food chain outpost known for Mexican classics made with fire-grilled chicken.

Very nice staff but they are always out of bottled water or soda, even at lunch time. Staff said it’s beyond their control . This happens about 2-3x a week . This is the only restaurant of any kind that I know of that doesn’t have enough drinks on a daily basis.

It’s chicken with style. I did the drive through that moved along pretty quickly. I order the 8piece keg and thigh dinner with rice and beans for three adults and we even had enough leftovers for lunch the next day at the beach. The chicken pieces were a good size and perfectly cooked. I love the crispy seasoned skin that make it so tasty. Definitely a good tasty affordable dinner, especially when you have a coupon.

Delicious food prepared fresh! Really nice drive thru lady was patient and even gave me a recommendation when I asked her. The street corn double chicken burrito bowl was amazing! Ty

I ordered a child’s 2 piece chicken with rice as the side. The rice was dry and a little bit crunchy on the ends. The chicken was a little bit overcooked so that some of it was stuck to the skin so it went to waste. One of the packs of tortillas was missing a tortilla. 3 problems in one order is pretty bad!

The worst I have ever had. Tasteless, dry, the cole slow was old, sloppy packaging. Terrible food! Also, no napkins or cutlery were included.
When this franchise was Mexican, it was delicious. How do I know? I worked in one in South Gate and ate chicken for 1 1/2 years everyday. That was good chicken!
Will never buying this again.

I ordered the grande avocado bowl and I requested shrimp to be added and I got dried shrimp . Definitely won’t be going back to this location!

To the wonderful employee at this location who gave me extra chicken in my 3 piece (2 thighs, one leg meal) near closing, thank you so much! I know we had a good conversation while I ordered, and it may be because I asked for a military discount, or you knew that you were going to throw out the extra, but the extra food fed myself, and some extra for my grandmother after her 3 taco al carbon deal, as well as a meal for her tomorrow! Thank you again and be blessed and safe in the future! This employee deserves a raise!

Stinky restaurant. As soon as you enter, the bathroom smells of feces. Horrible. I wanted to leave, but my boyfriend ordered. I didn’t order anything because I thought the place was unsanitary. Worse, I had to use the bathroom. It wasn’t just dirty from the day itself, but dirty to the point of having crusts on the sink, the faucet, and everything. Much worse than a street bathroom. And my goodness, what a stinky bathroom, I even lost my appetite.

Once again they don’t have white meat chicken. I placed my order on the app for pickup. Was called and told they were out of white meat chicken and they could put thigh meat on my double chicken tostada salad and my pollo bowl I paid extra for white meat. I declined and asked for a refund for my order which had other items. Was told they would cancel my order and issue a refund. Well I am still waiting for my refund. Now I have to reach out to my credit card company for a refund since it has been 5 days. They told me I should have it within 3 days. I don”t know why I purchase from this location since this is a regular occurrence here. The El Pollo Loco at Chapman and Placentia is much better but it is a further drive for me.

It was a very disappointing visit today. I ordered the chicken, it was dry and burnt. I went back to ask for it to be replaced and I saw the employees bickering about me refusing to eat black dry chicken. The restaurant needed cleaning and it wasn’t a pleasant atmosphere to eat in.
