Half 1 rack ribs/ 1 Costilla
Joey E.

Dudeee. My friend told me to check this place out and I was blown away. The price to food ratio exceeded my expectation. Highly recommend the half chicken and half rib combo. Which also comes with rice, beans, salsa and tortillas. Super friendly service. Will def go back for another round when we have a family get together or hang out.

Hmmmm, I must admit I was a bit disappointed in the chicken. We ordered the pollo with rice beans and tortillas. The chicken was fine but I wish the skin was way crispier. The woman who took our order was lovely and helpful. The ambiance was what you would expect from a hole in the wall place. Maybe if I lived closer I'd return but with El pollo grill near me I'll stick with my hometown chicken place. This place also has an extremely limited menu.

I ordered a full chicken on DoorDash 1/2 seasoned 1/2 regular and OMG this chicken is amazing. The grilled onion is top tier melts in your mouth. I called to see the spice level of the seasoned chicken and they were fast, nice, and helpful. This chicken is seasoned to perfection absolutely loved and will def be ordering again!

1/2 Medio Pollo y Media Costilla / Half Chicken and Half Rib. Ribs hiding under the chicken

4 stars for the generous portion & value. Ordered 1/2 chicken 1/2 rib marinated. Not sure if it's the marinade or extra sauce they put on, but it was really salty today. I will come when they first open & get natural al carbon next time. Would really like to get some fresh off the grill.

Not at all appealing nor appetizing

I have absolutely no idea how this place has almost a 5 star rating. I think the picture speaks for itself but the place itself is falling apart both from the outside and the inside. Clearly unkept, and just dirty looking. The service was nothing of note. No greeting at the door or upon coming up to the counter and no help in trying to explain the difference in flavor options for the chicken or the recommended sides. The chicken looked like it was all bits and pieces of multiple chickens despite ordering a whole chicken and the onion they threw in on top of the chicken had visible dirt on it. If they're going to just cut the onion in half without peeling it, at least rinse it off first. Couldn't get myself to try it so maybe the taste makes up for the presentation but I opened the box, audibly gasped and went to Pollo Loco to happily satisfy the roasted chicken craving

1/2 Chicken 1/2 Ribs Medio Pollo y Media Costilla

Everything is delicious. Salsas are exceptional. Definitely coming here regularly. Don't sleep on this spot!

A great hole in a wall place for Acapulco chicken. You can smell the mouthwatering bbq smoke coming from the grills as you approach the restaurant. I ordered the half chicken/half rib with the marinade and bbq sauce on the side. The combo came with onions, peppers, rice, beans, corn tortillas and 2 salsas. The chicken was fantastic, juicy and well marinated with a rich smoke flavor. Didn't even need to add the salsa or bbq sauce to flavor it. The ribs were great as well, marinated in the same sauce and was fall off the bone. I counted 6 bones which is a steal with half a chicken. Service was great, seating is limited inside with a couple of small tables outside. Pretty limited parking but the chicken is worth the trip.

Wow I love this place. Been here three times in the past few months. The Marinated chicken is the only way to go here. The flavor is amazing and spicy!! A whole chicken plate is about $27. It's enough for 2-3 people. It's enough for me and my wife for two meals. The grilled onions is great as well along with the rice! I want to try ribs next! The gentlemen that works the counter is very nice and the food comes out fast. They even have Yoli! We've always got lucky with parking down the hill. We will be back for sure!!

I wrote some long detailed review... hit post and it just disappeared. I was all descriptive and stuff. Now I've spent all my good words and all I got left is hunger pains and a faint memory of a yummy marinated chicken lunch with rice that was tasty AF... a heap Of steaming beans made a showing... a pile of tortillas and salsas. Man.. that review was almost as good as the food... and it's gone.. at least I've got some leftovers.

Natural chicken with sauces on the side
Alessandro P.

I've been several times and the chicken is consistently good. It's great to make tacos with the onion, sauces, pepper, and chicken. I think the onion could be cooked a little bit more. Delicious overall.

The Crack Shack in Little Italy is the flagship shack. Next to the barn, the large open air patio…read morewith communal tables is a fun place to unwind. If you are interested in a creative chicken sando spot with more than just a couple options, this is the place. Firebird: The ingredients are top notch. They start with a big plump Jidori chicken thigh. Known as the wagyu of chicken, the fried Jidori chicken has tremendous flavor, and is firm and juicy. Also, extra points for chicken thight - always. There is a hint of spiciness which they balance with a cool ranch sauce. The potato roll is the best bun for a sandwich, nice, dense, and spongy. The crispy onions and pickles seal the deal. As a sauce lover, this is my happy place. They have a rotating assortment of delicious sauces, perfect for dunking every single bite. Parking: You may have to circle a bit, but you should find a spot on one of the side streets.

This a great outdoor location that you can find in the wonderful Little Italy. The food was great,…read morethe service was fast, and the vibe was relaxing. The chicken sandwich was crunchy and flavorful, but it was not spicy one bit. I believe that the restaurant should allow its customers to choose a spice level. That is the point of the hot chicken, but it was still perfectly enjoyable. The great thing is that they are not stingy with the sauces and have a sauce bar where you are not handcuffed to small packets of sauce you get elsewhere. If you want to watch a game and grab a drink too, they have a bar area and they also have a small area where kids can play. Definitely a great spot.
