    Omg stopped here on a whim while driving through the area. The food is sooooo delicious!! Everything! The chicken, plantains, & rice + beans!!! The spicy green sauce is also amazing!! Fast counter service, only a few tables inside but works well. I will be back next time I'm in town!!

    1/2 chicken with 2 sides
    Omar A.

    I went to their soft opening and they ran out of chicken and never came back until now 2/2025. They were apologetic and gave me a free meal on next visit, but I never used it because I lost the piece of note she (the owner) provided. This visit, the moment I walked to the counter I was greeted with a smile, and I remember her from my first visit. I ordered the 1/2 chicken because it was only $3 more than a 1/4 chicken with 2 sides. You get both white and dark meat and I order fried Yucca and black beans & rice. The chicken has so much flavor from the charcoal. The Yucca was perfectly fried fresh, and the black beans and rice were satisfying. It is a little pricey about $27 with fountain drink and a 15% tip (in my opinion they should not ask with their point of sale system when it is not a full service restaurant). This is the reason why they got a 3 star instead of 4 stars. This reminds me of Peruvian style rotisserie chicken that I use to eat when I lived in Washington DC area. Here, they are branded as Latin American Charcoal Chicken. This not a full service restaurant. You order at the counter and pick up at the order at the other end. They have a small but adequate dining room. I wonder how they are during a lunch and dinner rush. I will soon see.

    1/2 chicken, beans and rice, fries

    This place is 5 stars. The chicken has so much flavor that permeates deep into the meat. Order at the counter and wait to be called. Your meal comes in a 3 compartment take out box so listen up. Eat the chicken first, don't forget to use some of the green and white sauce. You might need to go up and get more sauce. Once you eat all the chicken, move the bones to the lid and put the rice and beans in the big compartment where the chicken was that has all the little chixken bits amd cover it with thr green sauce. You're welcome! The fries were crispy on the outside and like mashed potatoes on the inside. It looks like a hole in the wall but it ain't. They have a TV and maybe some music playing from back behind the counter. Done forget the passion fruit juice. Don't miss this is you are looking for something good to eat in Pensacola.

    1/2 Chicken 2 Sides Beans and Rice Pico De Gallo

    This place is the real deal. Our food was impeccable, the service was fantastic, and I cannot wait to come back again! Make sure you get the pico and the plantains.

    Customer service has on point. Ordered the whole chicken, cold slaw and rice/beans. Chicken is VERY Flavourful and not over salted like most rotisserie chicken. Cold slaw is good and rice n beans, I definitely will be back when I'm in Pensacola around dinner time or lunch, I'll even put this above Publix rotisserie chicken and that's saying something, the price is very reasonable also.. if you haven't been here then you should...

    We couldn't stay away for long. Delicious every time. The chicken is so good. Today my husband had red beans and rice mixed and Abuadito Soup which he loved. I absolutely love coming in here everyone is so polite and friendly, the food is amazing and it's a clean restaurant. The owner is so sweet. Another awesome meal, thank you.

    Chicken Combo for 4 with 4 sides...
    Cheri Y.

    Locally owned simple Charcoal chicken cafe. Quick & easy pickup to go or eat in the cute little bright dining area. There are many combos to choose from, we get the combo for 4 it's really good for 2 people. It comes with a whole chicken & 4 sides of your choice. We get the Mac & cheese it's very yummy white cheese. We each have to have our own. The pico salad is a must as we like to make tacos with our charcoal chicken. The side salad is also very fresh & yummy the dressing is a limey ranch style it's very good. Def try it. All the complimentary sauces are very good. We like all of them, the cilantro cream sauce, hot sauce & especially the onions in vinegar. They do have some cold beer in the cooler, bottled water, sodas & desserts are all grab & go. Recommend. Queen of Pirate'cola approved.

    Loved the chicken, well flavored and juicy and tender. Yuca was perfectly crisp and plantains were nice and ripe. Service was friendly. They don't offer water, only bottled. Place was busy as it is very popular. Prices are very reasonable and parking was easy. Great lunch spot!!!

    My friend from West Palm visited and said this was even better than the seafood we had at the beach.

    Once you order a Mr. Pollo chicken, you'll never want to eat one from Publix or WD again. Super moist, seasoned perfectly, and served with a smile. I called in my order and it was being placed on the counter as I got there. I got the whole chicken and Two sides. Mac and cheese was delicious and the pasta wasn't overcooked and mushy. Cole slaw is mayo based which we like. I swear we ate from that order at least three times. I've also gone there with friends for lunch. The first time I went, I wasn't sure if we should stay because of the tight quarters and overall atmosphere. Once I got hooked on their food, I didn't care if they fed us on a backhoe in the back room. Their tostadas are amazing as well. Highly recommend.

    Delicious home-style Hispanic food. Maduros (sweet banana) and yucca were great sides to the tender and well seasoned chicken.

I cook more…read morethan I'd like here because it's not as exciting or as culinary inept cities I frequent in the world. I'm here for another month so after trying Super Chix I think I'll come back again. I tried the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and although it's not Prince's or Hattie B's (Nashville hot chicken institutions) it's a tasty enough sandwich! On your first visit you get a choice of free custard. My fave custard is Rita's so that's how i measure...the custard tastes more like ice cream. Definitely missing that mouthfeel i crave in custard. The chocolate is better than the vanilla in most custard places outside of Rita's and it's the same at Super Chix. Got a mintOreo fusion instead of a drink and it did remind me of McFlurry from way back. Cajun fries reminds me of the ones from Steak 'n Shake. I got it to go. It was slow coming out but the food was hot and fresh. There's also an impressive sauce station. Sauces were all pretty good. I'll update stars if necessary the next time as I'll try something different.

    I'm typically a generous reviewer --- but my experience with Chick-fil-A at the Pensacola…read moreInternational Airport was mid at best. First off, my flight was early enough in the morning, and usually these restaurants are ready to go to meet the morning rush. Not here! At around 6:30AM, it seemed "THIS" Chick-fil-A was overwhelmingly understaffed. Comparing it to other Chick-fil-A's in other airport, this was the least efficient of all the ones I've encountered. First the good: there are two ways to order --- with a worker at the cashier's area, or at a self-kiosk where you can place an order. NOTE: This is an airport location, so prices are definitely more premium than typical locations. Although I ordered a simple (!) spicy chicken meal --- why did it take 15 minutes for it to come out? ALSO: THEY HAD NO HONEY. This wasn't just my experience, but also those around me as well. One thing that I will note, is that I don't think this is a Chick-fil-A problem, this is a Pensacola eatery problem; I saw many at Einstein Bagel's enduring long waits for their orders as well. In any case, my experience could have definitely "could've done better". Pensacola --- awesome beaches, mid customer experience!
