    Don't let the area deter you from some bomb a%$ chicken and ribs! We had lunch here on Sunday and it did not disappoint. We ordered at the counter and the cashier was friendly. We ordered: One order of 15 pieces of chicken - comes with tortillas, pickled onions, grilled jalapenos One large Mashed potatoes One large Macaroni salad 4 canned sodas Total: $65 The food was given to us quickly. The tortillas were hard and still cold so we asked for them to be warmed up more. After a few minutes, they came back HOT. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had a nice crispy & charred flavor. The mashed potatoes were hot, creamy, and tasted really good. The macaroni was another hit as it was really simple but very good. The grilled jalapenos were spicy and the pickled onions went well with the chicken. We ate about 9 pieces of the chicken and had plenty to take home. We ended up ordering a rack of ribs to go and omg the ribs are delicious! They are very flavorful and thick, ugh so good! I will definitely be back sooon for some more!

    Mesquite grilled chicken we got a whole chicken and this what was left it was soooooo amazing

    Amazing service fast accurate and peasant great smile on counter staff and were able to chat while multiple tasks going on at once.Their mesquite broiled chicken is by far the tastiest chicken I ever had moist juicy and the skin - forget about it - we got Mac salad and beans and it came with fresh lemon picked onions and salads and corn tortillas - counter gave me 2 broiled ribs to try and they were amazing as well with their mango habanero sauce - if you haven't gone their go now !! Your taste buds will thank me - place had good parking and inside was clean as well - everyone was so quiet because they were too busy eating lol

    Had late lunch early dinner with my S.O. She picked this place, we wanted to try their chicken. We ordered a half chicken with small beans and small macaroni salad and large rice. The order comes with pepper, pickled onions, salsa, lemon and corn tortillas. We didn't know if it was going to be enough but I felt it was perfect for 2 people. The flavoring on the chicken was really good, I was eating the chicken off the bone instead of making tacos with it lol. They gave us about 10-15 corn tortillas, they were very good and all the food tasted very light, not greasy and heavy. We really liked the beans, but weren't huge fans of the macaroni salad (was a bit too salty), but we took it home and I will probably eat it all yet tonight. Before we left we bought 2 desserts, I can't wait to try those when you get off work! I'd come here again, the chicken was really good, we will probably get the pieces next time. Their menu was in both English and Spanish, the gentleman taking our order was very polite. Their bathrooms were definitely kept clean. The whole restaurant was kept clean.

    Tried to take a before eating but it all looked and smelled so good.

    The food was so delicious. We orders the half chicken, rice, beans and macaroni salad and it was all 10/10. We came from Queen Creek and I am for sure making the drive again. The service was amazing super friendly and the restaurant super clean and fun. Great playlist.

    Just finish shopping at Frys and was heading south on Alma School road and saw the sign for El Pollo Correteado. Did a u-turn and pulled in. The place is pretty new. Did a search and only the Phoenix locations come up. Walked in and the place smelled great! Order the whole chicken, 2 Mexican Cokes and a side of beans, to go. Got home and shared with the wife-e-poo. WOW! Chicken was great! Nice char and the flavor was excellent! Only complaint was the breast was a little dry but, the rest was very juicy. Came with tortillas, 2 roasted jalapeños, salsa, red onion slices and lemon. Oh, last but not least, the frejolies were very tasty. The ultimate test was if my wife liked the food (considering she is very particular and picky about food). She liked it a lot! She has been a cook for the past 25+ years and is from Mexico, thus the critical pallet . They also have ribs. Next time.

    The chicken is like perfection. They use mesquite coal to cook the chicken and ribs. The char has a great flavor and the meat is so tender. They don't own a freezer! They go pick up ingredients every morning! You can tell in the quality of the food. The prices are extremely reasonable and the flavors are great! They even have mac salad! It's a simple menu -- chicken or ribs and sides. But they do it so well!

The outside honestly looked like one of those cozy restaurants you'd see in a K-drama with the glowing lights and busy vibe. When we walked in, it was already pretty packed, and more people kept coming in after us, so that's always a good sign lol. The service was also amazing and everyone was really nice. Obviously we had to order the fried chicken, and I loved that all the sauces came on the side so you could dip and try different flavors without the chicken getting soggy. And the biggest surprise for me was the cheesy corn topped with pork. I would have never thought of that combo myself, but it was actually so good. Creamy, savory, cheesy perfection. We went pretty late at night, so parking was easy for us, but I could definitely see it getting hectic during the day since it's in the same plaza as H Mart. So best to double check before going!

I also paid $2 extra for ranch and received only enough for about two wings, which felt pretty disappointing. Unfortunately, the pho was the biggest letdown. The flavor was very off and not enjoyable at all--I ended up throwing the entire thing away.

You can tell he actually cares about the dining experience and keeps up with his tables really well. Service alone was a 10 out of 10. Before coming in, we saw reviews complaining about a 20 minute wait for the food, but honestly that did not bother us because they let us know right away that the chicken is made fresh and would take around 15 minutes. If you know good fried chicken, you already know fresh chicken is worth the wait. I would rather wait a little longer for crispy, hot chicken than get something sitting under a heat lamp. And let me tell you, the chicken came out exactly how fried chicken should be. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, piping hot, and perfectly seasoned. The crunch had that fresh fry texture where you can actually hear it when you bite into it. For sides, I got the okra and mac and cheese. It was my first time trying fried okra and now I completely understand the hype. The seasoning on it was insanely good, especially paired with the Louisiana hot sauce. Definitely ask for the yellow peppers too because they add this juicy little pop of heat and crunch that takes the chicken to another level. Overall: 10 out of 10 service 10 out of 10 food 10 out of 10 atmosphere If you actually love fried chicken and appreciate fresh food made right, this spot is absolutely worth checking out.

I work in the food service industry so I was a little confused as to why that's not something they would disclose at the beginning of us ordering, especially if they knew it was a large order. They told us it would only be 5-10 more minutes though... and then that became 20 extra minutes of us waiting. The customer before me also ended up waiting 40 minutes for just 3 tenders. I feel like they should've offered us a free drink or something after seeing us in the lobby waiting for half an hour. And it didn't help that the 3 people on expo were just talking and fooling around. They had also looked irritated when we had gone up after that half hour to ask about our order. While I love the food, I don't know if I'll go back. TLDR: Food is great. Service not so much.
