A must try if you’re nearby, don’t let the small space fool you, those chickens pack a lot of flavor. Their salads are twice the size of Chipotle, Way fresher and cost less than what you’d spend for one there. They’re half/whole chicken comes with salsa and sides, more than enough to fill you up. Just make sure to bring cash since they don’t accept card. Stop by and have a bite, you won’t regret it.

The best steak bowl. The only downfall is that this restaurant only accepts cash! Other than that everything is excellent. Highly recommend.

I have wanted to eat at this place for at least 3 years and I finally made it, and boy was it definitively worth the wait. The steak burrito is SO GOOD and the half or whole chicken meal is so mouth watering delicious that I went back 2 weeks later to get the BOGO on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The chicken meal comes with tortillas, onions and salse which makes it worth the money. However the metered parking on 18th street is really bad and the side street parking around the restaurant is permit parking so be prepared to drive around for a parking space.

This chicken is the best chicken in town. I love chicken so much specially roasted chicken, and I tried a few places around Chicago and this is by far my favorite one. I always recommend it.. the color on the seasoning is different and it taste different.. just the best chicken in town. you won’t regret it. They also have deals on certain days which makes it affordable and awesome!! Is buy one get one half off or free so hello go for it!!!

Good food, fast service. Be sure you bring cash as they are a cash only place. I would’ve given them more stars but our server wasn’t very friendly. I had myself the chicken bowl which comes packed with lettuce, beans, rice, chicken, avacado, onion, jalapeno, sour cream, cheese, cilantro and tomato it was very filling. My coworker ordered the half chicken comes with rice and beans.

Go on Tuesdays or Thursdays for an extra half chicken!! Such an amazing deal, great for family or a group of friends to share together (it’s a LOT of food!).

Good option for a grilled chicken, make sure to pay for right parking time, the ticket guy is technically hunting for you. I haven’t been there for couple of years and I find it very busy place, if you dine in be patient.
