Best grilled chicken around. I don't know what they do to their rice and beans either but they are superior to all others. Do yourself a favor and try it!

How can you not love this lil gem in the wall?!?! Not the most amazing location or decor for the matter but this place was more designed as a place to pick up your food then to dine in... sorry but it's true! Moving on, the grilled chicken is freaking delicious! It's well seasoned and the skin is crispy from the first bite! They always give you a whole package of tortillas which is nice I guess but I never eat it all.. the horchatas is delicious, one of the best I ever drank in that town.. I really don't have anything bad to say about this place.. cute lil gem that's definitely worth the try

Got the paqueta familia for dinner tonight. It was so much food that we will have leftovers for tomorrow. Comes with two roasted chickens, tortillas, salad, grilled jalapeños/cebollas, pico de gallo, arroz and frijoles.

Was recommended the mango wings and they were really good. The wings were crispy and they were a good size, and the sauce was very flavorful.

Just finishing my to-go order. The location has about four tables but I took mine to-go. While there during lunch several Hispanic families came through and I was the only Gringo in the place. BIG MISTAKE by GRINGOS to not stop in. I ordered a 1/2 chicken with a pint of beans, rice, a package of heated corn tortillas, and a small container of salsa. It was $11 and FANTASTIC! A must stop and will be a part of my lunch rotation as a traveling salesman.

Yum! Yum! Yum! It was so fresh and delicious! The grilled chicken was juicy and tender. Don't forget the rice and the salsa. It is located in a small strip mall but was packed with customers picking up orders. Can't wait to go back and try more of their menu!
