    Been wanting to check this place out for a bit. It was the big chicken standing there that was a bit creepy. The service was good. But it could improve. Please.. if your going to cook wear a hair net. If you are serving wear an apron. The chicken was different. The chicken seasoning almost tasted like chorizo. The man at the counter said it was a family recipe from Guanajuato. It was pretty good and a bit spicy. The prices are fair. I ordered a half chicken and it was two of us. And we still took food home. Beans and rice weren't special, just like any other mexican restaurant. I did like that they served in foam plates. Cozy place. Entrance on pershing. Parking in front and on the side right next to stickney police station.

    I've been coming here for almost 3 years and every time it's so good. Clean inside and a nice restaurant, great staff. Food is amazing. I recommend the chicken tacos and the enchiladas are also amazing.

    Always very lovely people and quick, you get in and out with your order, we always order the large tray with potato fries, chicken itself and everything else that comes with it. This goes hand in hand for when there's no cooked food in the house and we need something quick and not fast food, tasty fries tasty rice and beans, all in all, amazing asset to the neighborhood this place is.

    This was the best pollo asado that I've had in Chicagoland. Better than the King in Arlington heights. This place is the real deal. Tasted like I was at a backyard BBQ, it's delicious and huge portions.

    I can’t recommend this place enough! We tried the roasted chicken, and it was spectacular—juicy and full of flavor. Plus, the café de olla is simply exquisite, the best I’ve had in a long time. The owner is incredibly attentive, always with a smile and an attitude that makes you feel right at home. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to. Highly recommended!

    Highly recommend! Juiciest chicken, amazing rice and beans, and crispy seasoned fries! Just moved into the area and we wanted to find our go-to chicken spot. This place is definitely it! We drove by it a few times and finally decided to try it today.
