    Great catering option
    Marcus F.

    A good meal when you're looking for something with a kick. - The single slider with fries make a good lunch, and it's the most affordable option. - I've noticed that this location, and all other locations I've tried, receiving your order takes forever. Doesn't matter if it's empty or busy. - A great option for catering.

    Ticket says no slaw, slider has slaw. Terrible uneven seasoning also

    I would like to begin by noting that I am a frequent customer of Dave's Hot Chicken and have had positive experiences at many of their locations. Unfortunately this particular visit was the most disappointing I have encountered. Upon arrival there was no staff member at the front counter and it took several minutes before the cashier assisted me. After placing my order I waited approximately 15 minutes for my food. Notably my order was brought out at the same time as another customer's order even though they arrived 5-10 minutes after I did. When I received my meal I requested an additional serving of Dave's sauce and was informed there would be an extra charge. This was unexpected as I have not been charged for sauce at other locations and I understand this may be a new policy but never have been charged for Dave's sauce. Like can we agree one little sauce container is not enough for 2 slider meal and fries. Additionally my sandwich was prepared incorrectly and it included coleslaw despite my request for no slaw or pickles. Due to time constraints I was unable to ask for a correction. I also observed that several customers who arrived after me experienced delays because there was no staff available at the front counter. Overall this visit did not meet the standard I have come to expect and I do not plan to return to this location.

    Dave's Hot Chicken is a staple chicken sandwich restaurant chain available in California. I've never had the pleasure to eat at Dave's growing up in Hawaii, and I definitely missed out. I went late (9:00p) on a Friday night, and the store was nice, clean, with plenty of seating available. Our order was prepared quite fast! The #2 (2 Sliders + Fries) and #3 (1 Slider + 1 Tenders + Fries) are both hearty options to satisfy any hungry adult. I would even say getting 2 sliders might be more worth it, as you can eat one and save the second for another meal later on. The sauce it comes with reminds me of the Chick-fil-A sauce; I added some to my sandwich and also my fries. Overall, super delicious fried chicken sandwiches and definitely a fast food joint I will return to.

    I would 100% pick Dave's Hot Chicken over Raising Cane's. It is served hot, fresh, crispy and very delicious! Definitely great for on the GO! However, beware of the spice. I went with Medium and Hot and OMG!!! Hot was REALLY HOT! My lips were burning, I couldn't do it; BUT medium seasoning was perfect, highly recommend.

    Chicken slider

    Service was decent overall, but I had an issue with my order. The slider I received wasn't intact--it was in two separate pieces, almost like scraps of chicken rather than a proper slider. When I pointed this out and asked for a replacement, the employee explained that the chicken had broken in half during cooking, but he didn't offer to remake it or provide another solution.

    Fill up my fries basket at least, please.

    Thank you for the free sandwich promotion! The staff was ready and willing to provide the sandwiches. Ended up getting combo #1 as well and everything was delicious, hot(both heat & taste) and fresh!

    Single Slider- yummy

The potato salad is one of the best things on the menu, and the rice is sticky and chicken flavored. The salsa is chunky and goes well with everything. I grew up eating the chicken tacos and these are pretty much the same. (Although , be careful with little ones, one of my tacos had a bone.) The tacos used to be 10 for $10. But now they are $6.99 for 2. A two piece combo was a little over $14. But you gotta pay it when the craving hits. I'm happy to eat here when working in Temecula, which is not too often.

Called twice never pick the phone again. This tell u they owner just got worker does not know customer service . And cook that is not know how to cook!!! It's not the same chicken I eat . I will never return again ., definitely will NOT recommend. This two worker owners need to do something about it . Or else she Will loose more business.

I ended up with terrible food poisoning about 10 hours later. I'm telling you, El Pollo Loco owes me for to days of pain and a pair of clothes after that incident... Undercooked chicken is DANGEROUS. They should have more rigorous food safety checks before it goes out. I've literally never been back, to any location.
