TV ad is misleading. Instead of the “best chicken I ever ate,” it was the worst chicken I ever ate. It was overcooked, lacked flavor and dry. Sorry.

Nevermind the dried out, flavorless chicken cut into annoyingly odd pieces, the salsa bar is a pool of salmonella! Yuck, just yuck!

The food was great. The two guys at the counter today around noon were perfect to work with and had a great attitude.

Had a tri-tip burrito. Best thing I've eaten in years. Good food with salsa bar. The restaurant has a rustic cowboy vibe. A bit pricey, but you get a lot for your money. Lots of parking, indoor and outdoor seating.

I had the half chicken which was delicious ! The seasoning was just right, the skin was crispy and the meat was moist and flavorful. They've got a great selection of salsas to choose from as well. The beans and rice were ok but nothing exceptional. They do have beers as well which I didn't see on their website. They offer great food at reasonable prices, would definitely go back next time I'm in the area and would recommend to anyone looking for some great chicken

I bought a family meal to go, the tri-tip was a bit dry. The chicken was good. Good customer service.

Don’t get the tri tip. Chicken is good though. Maybe I just don’t understand Mexican bbq but I can’t say eating dry, tough tri tip is very enjoyable.

Great spot for quick satisfying lunch. Had the quarter chicken with flour tortillas. The wing and breast portion were delicious. And the beans and rice added to the tortilla made it fulling. Glad I found it!

Best chicken and tri-tip burrito the world has ever known ?? I will probably be eating here once a month from now on it's definitely my new favorite spot to eat. All the meat they make is cooked perfectly and it's super flavorful. They use quality ingredients also which is a huge plus. Love this place so glad I found them. Staff are all friendly as well , 2 thumbs up??
