“ Whole chicken with beans,rice and shells. Cheap prices and the food is so good!!!!!!! The chicken cooked over fire!!!!! The best ”
“ Wood fired mesquite grilled chicken southwest style! Pickled onion is a nice twist to replace the standard jalapeno. Great heat on the pickled onion, red sauce good and standard. Rice also good, beans are cowboy style good flavor. Nice change from the usual smashed refried at most other places. I got chicken but they offer meat options. Very authentic, with reasonable prices. Good service.. ”
“ No frills authentic Mexican food served hot. Had the half-chicken dinner with rice and beans. Was well cooked, flavorful, reasonably priced. Took it as carry-out to eat at home. There are a few tables inside, but this isn't a full-service restaurant, more like a curbside food truck but operating out of a storefront. Will be going back. Don't be scared off by the gritty appearance. This is a place you tell your friends about. ”
“ If you're hungry for a good home-cooked bbq (grilled) meal then you have to stop here. Its a non-descript place. I don't even recall a sign being out in front. However, you're at the right place when you see the smoke coming from the grill withthe best aroma. Very simple menu. Whole or half chicken dinners with rice & beans & a few other items. It was great. Couldn't eat all the meal in one sitting...it was so much. Definitely try when in the area! ”
“ My favorite Smoked Chicken they use Royal Oak Lump Charcoal like the other place down the street. Big difference never run outta Chicken 18 bucks out the door Whole Smoked Chicken Beans Rice n Hot Tortillas. All dinners ready now in a hot box Filled many times per day.
