As…read moreluck would have it, we went to a concert over the weekend and decided to find food somewhere between the venue and our house on our way back home. The food did NOT disappoint!! The dining room was pretty empty but I was eyeballing the patio section (cuz I WILL be coming back)! I didn't realize it was counter ordering, (which sometimes gives me a sense of pressure cuz I like to take my time reviewing every item on the menu first), but luckily there were folks in front of us and nobody behind us (so I had a little time). I ordered the brisket grilled cheese and waffle fries, while my husband had the Nashville hot chicken fries. They had a BOGO deal on beer (he approved of the Mexican Lager) and I had the strawberry lemonade. Everything was amazing and the workers were really nice. We'll be back!!

This is one of the best Mexican food places that you can find. The hype is real…read more On top of it, their meats are halal, so we know the quality is better than ordinary meats. During my many many many visits here, I have tried: -Asada Signature Hot Cheetos Burrito -3 Meat Burrito -Macho Man Burrito -Birria Crunch Wrap -Asada Street Tacos -Street Birria Tacos -BBQ Brisket Tacos -Double Decker Chicken Zinger Wrap -Doritos Flamin' Hot Burger -BBQ Brisket Fries -Birria Fries -Birria & Relleno Quesadilla -3 Meat Nachos I am sure I am missing some stuff that I've already tried but can't remember off of the top of my head... by now you probably get the point that I am a fan and they have mouthwatering and flavorful food. The portion sizes are ginormous and you cannot leave hungry from here and sometimes will have leftovers even if you only order a single item. I wish they had a bigger seating area. Also the ice-cream (pre packaged, not store made) selection is weird but not wonderful. I guess those are an acquired taste. If they open a location in South OC, I will go at least once a week if not more.

Fatima's grill was awesome…read more Don't be fooled this is a Lebanese / Mexican fusion, extremely unique. They have lots of options, treats and drinks throughout the store. My friends and I ordered the shawarma fries, Cali burrito, and the garlic shrimp fries. All of these were very good but I highly recommend the Cali burrito. Very common dish but Fatima's grill knocks it out of the park somehow. Idk how but he did. The shawarma fries also packs a lot of flavor and highly recommend. The GS fries were good but wish I got a little more shrimp. This place is not the cheapest but definitely get your money's worth in quantity and quality.

We ordered the family platter for 4, which comes with chicken, lamb, and beef kabobs, lamb shanks, qabuli rice and white rice. It also comes with Borani Banjan and salad. We also ordered the mantu and bolani to go. The platter was huge! Enough for 5-6 people honestly. Their lamb shanks were tender and delicious, as were the kabobs (the beef were my favorites, and the koobideh were also super tender). Their green chutney was superb, slightly spicy and tangy. Their mantu was also spectacular, tender on the outside with an ample meat filling. The borani Banjan was also a favorite, as the eggplant was super succulent and flavorful. Honestly, all of the dishes were exceptional. I'd definitely come back another time.

WOOOOHOOOOO a wonderful experience!…read more Alright firstly is the food great, yes! It's a fast-food drive-in burger joint okay so let's talk about it. When I walked last night 15 minutes before close, no one was trying to rush me out and still asked if I wanted to eat there. This was delightful because usually people are completely poops about it. I wish I knew the young man's name who was the cashier he was so kind, outgoing, and just overall super bubbly and friendly. My had a small baby and I went in first to order and then went outside to trade with my husband so he could use the restroom as we waited for our to-go order. Without me sharing any thoughts with my husband the first thing he said when he got back is how supremely friendly the young man was and how he swears his attitude was contagious because he came out with a smile on his face. The food itself as mentioned was great. We took advantage on the specials for the double cheeseburger and the chicken sandwich. I know people will debate it, but I enjoyed the well seasoned and tasty breaded sandwich much more than In-n-out. The chicken sandwich tasted so high-quaity in comparasion to most fast food sandwiches I've ever had and priced so affordably. The entire resturant and the restroom were impicaly clean, the defintion of "sparkling clean". This location really has it together and the chose the right person to be in the front dealing with their customers. Truly a wonderful experience!

I always order the two chicken combo, which comes with rice, beans, and tortillas--honestly, it's the perfect meal. The chicken is always juicy with that nice char-grilled flavor, and everything pairs together really well. But what really takes it to the next level is their garlic butter sauce. That sauce is a must--rich, flavorful, and it makes every bite even better. I've also tried their chicken salad, and it's surprisingly good. It's fresh, well-balanced, and a great option if you want something a little lighter but still packed with flavor. Overall, Charo Chicken never disappoints. Good portions, great flavor, and consistent quality every time I go. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to.

Pizza is soooo good, but it used to be better. Lebanese pizza was flavorful but the dry garlic chicken left me a bit sad. Carne asada pizza was rich with savory flavor but I think having it right out of the oven would have been better. Seating no longer offered so had to drive it home and reheat it. The experience of eating it hot and ready was part of my original ritual. Lemon pepper wings were still fire. Seriously no notes. Cheesecake was also tasty but I recall it being less creamy and more cake-y before. Kind of funny they were locked up in the freezer, but perhaps for good reason? Price wise it's worth it as a treat, this isn't an everyday pizza. Place could use a good clean with the kitchen visible. Although I miss the previous glory version I would still very much recommend this spot!
