    My fam loves getting the family meal for 19.80$ its a whole chicken, rice, refried beans & tortillas. Its enough for us 4. The chicken is our favorite, tasty charbroiled chicken :) my mom lovesss the beans. For the price its really great, I just wish inside they had stronger ac bc it can get kinda hot. Service is pretty fast. They also have agua frescas which are good.

    Dropped in for an after gym lunch. Restaurant was very clean & staff was friendly and quick to attend to me. I had a chicken quesadilla with beans and rice that was very good. Highly Recommended!!!!!!

    Hidden gem alert! I first discovered this spot after an early morning workout at EOS Russell. Arriving at my car, I'm smelling BBQ at 845am! Follow your nose to billowing smoke from the outdoor wood fire grill obscured by an automotive garage. Located at the corner of Pecos and Russell, they open at 9am so I waited until they opened. Fresh! Fresh, never frozen grilled whole chicken. Great seasoning, hot, moist, never dry, meaty tender goodness, oh my goodness! They do have Carne Asada and Baby Back ribs too. This review is just about their namesake but the ribs, also cooked on the outdoor grill, look very good. There is a refrigerated salsa bar with three fantastic condiments consisting of a pico de galloesqe chunky salsa with a perfect 6 of 10 spice, a chipotle like sauce with a 5-6 spice factor and a delicious tomatillos sauce with a 4-5 spice range. On Wednesday they have a 12 piece for $12 for all you Ketogenic folks. All healthy, all natural, highly recommended.

    very dry, flavorless chicken but excellent sides

    I really really wanted to love this chicken but I just don't. We opted for takeout and got a the whole chicken which comes with tortillas, beans and rice. The chicken was a huge let down. While the charbroiling was great, the meat was dry (even on the dark meat sections) and it was pretty flavorless. That being said the sides were fantastic. Probably the best beans I've had a from a fast service place in a while. The rice was really good and the salsas were amazing. I'm glad this was true because I had to douse the chicken in salsa to help with the dryness. I'm not saying I wouldn't try this pace again. The sides were good enough that maybe this could have been a one of. Def give it a try and I hope when you go (and the next time I do) the chicken will be better.

    Chicken burrito with cheese
    Armen G.

    I came here because I was really hungry and needed food that was not from a fast food chain. This isn't the first time I've came here so I'll go ahead and provide my thoughts on this place. 1: Aroma- They grill their chicken outside. The aroma of the chicken will make u want to order chicken even if you came for something else like Asada, pastor, etc. 2: Customer service- CS here is not the best. The employees here don't really like to engage with customers regardless of how nice u may be with them. But it is always someone different at the counter yet the same experience. 3: Food- I ordered a chicken burrito with no onions and cheese(extra $1.00) and my order felt it was completely wrong. There were onions in the burrito.. I'm not sure if that meat was chicken or not but when I was picking it out it seemed to have another meat inside that was not chicken.. the burritos don't have a lot of meat in them.. they stuff them with beans, rice, and sour cream and very little meat. They didn't add cheese and if they did it was very little.. and they added onions after I said no onions. Overall- I would come back and would prefer this spot over say, a el pollo loco or Taco Bell. But it is not a place that I would recommend for people to visit as say a "top place for Mexican cuisine or a must visit". The horchata drink wasn't bad however. A little sweet but good flavor. Thanks again!

    Bbq rotisserie chicken at it's best, daily during lunch time. Fresh and delicious. Prices are on point and they deliver delicious bbq chicken with fresh sides. This place has fast and friendly service with a clean restaurant to eat at. It tastes as good as it smells. Thank you, I was totally satisfied.

    Warning: don't Drive by and roll down your window. It will make you get out of your car to get the chicken.

    Food is authentic Sonoran Mexican food with a variety I have never seen before. The only thing you…read morewon't see is pollo (chicken), but if its meat from a cow or pig, it's probably available. A word of warning, despite offering street tacos, this isn't really "fast" food, I stood in line for nearly an hour at lunchtime on a Friday. Layout and ordering can be confusing but start by finding a tray, if they are busy, there nay not be any at the counter. As you enter, scan the menu. If you are alone, Get in the line that matches most of what you w nt. Better still if you are not alone is the divide and conquer system, each person getting in line for a meat you want. If alone, you can order mire than one, you just order that lines meat, say lengua tacos, then let them know you also want however many of whatever meat/what, say 3 adobado tacos. You do NOT pay at the counter instead weaving your way back toward the register where you pay.

    I think its a great place for a late night meal after the club IF you are in the area. The parking…read morebehind is super small and cramped. Its usually still busy late into the night because of all the night owls. My husband and I only come to eat after the clubs or a night out because its a vibe. Yes lines can be long, but never too long where we ever walk out. We always get Tripa and Lengua tacos with everything on them. I don't have much experience in other taco places to compare, but I only go to places that offer more than asada. Is the place amazing good? Not sure to say but I will say if you like soft and tender lengua and crispy, semi fatty tripa then I like it best here so far. Is it overhyped? Maybe, but I think they're good.

    If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with an atmosphere that's full of nostalgia and heart,…read moreLa Vecindad Mexican Restaurant is an absolute must-visit! From the moment we walked in, we felt like we had stepped into the world of the beloved classic Mexican television show El Chavo del 8. The décor perfectly captures the charm and warmth of "la vecindad," making it a fun experience for both adults who grew up watching the show and younger generations experiencing it for the first time. The food was outstanding. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared with authentic Mexican flavors that truly stood out. The drinks were just as impressive--refreshing, expertly made, and the perfect complement to our meal. What really made our visit special was the incredible service. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making us feel like family from start to finish. The restaurant also has a wonderful family-friendly atmosphere where everyone can relax, laugh, and enjoy a great meal together. La Vecindad isn't just a place to eat--it's an experience filled with delicious food, amazing drinks, exceptional service, and a nostalgic tribute to El Chavo del 8 that brings smiles to every table. We can't wait to come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Mexican cuisine and a memorable dining experience. Five stars all the way!
