Absolutely deserving of the title of best fried chicken in DFW. My group of four split two half…read morechicken platters. We got the green beans, mac and cheese, corn, and fries as sides, and tried almost every sauce. Every single item was seasoned, full of flavor, and delicious--literally no notes. The chicken was extra crunchy and freshly fried. Of the sauces, we preferred their hot/buffalo the most. And don't forget about the fluffy biscuit! The restaurant was extremely busy with very few tables open, but they clear up quick. There's a short wait for your food, but that's a testament to how fresh the chicken is fried. I cannot wait to be back.

I've lost count of how many times I've been back since my first visit, and the quality has been…read morerock solid every single time. Not once has the chicken made it home soggy. In fact, it stays crisp for hours. FYI, if you have leftovers, throwing them in the air fryer at 375°F for 5 minutes completely revives them. They come out just as crispy as when they were freshly fried. That issue I had once with an over salted drumstick from unmixed batter? Never happened again on any piece. If I were Mike, I'd experiment with a few more sauce options down the line just to mix things up and keep it interesting. I've also seen people complain here about the employees not smiling, and honestly, that part is accurate. You could probably announce you won the lottery right at the register and you'd still get the exact same blank, emotionless stare. But they've never been rude either. They just focus on getting the box out, and when the chicken is this good, I can live with the total silence. Business right?

My daughter has to get a patty every time we visit, and I never leave without one of their homemade juices. The owner is always friendly and welcoming whenever I see him, which keeps me coming back. The food is consistently worth the wait and worth every penny. Speaking of waits, service can be a little slow at times, so I recommend calling ahead or visiting when you're not in a rush. It makes the experience much more enjoyable. The only reason I'm giving a strong 4 stars instead of 5 is the customer service from some of the staff. While not everyone falls into this category, many of the employees can come across as a bit reserved. Once you engage with them, they're usually pleasant, but a few more smiles and a warmer atmosphere would really elevate the experience. I'd love to walk in one day and feel the vibrant, welcoming island energy reflected throughout the restaurant. That said, I'll definitely keep coming back for those wings!

Plenty of room, they even have a side room for a quieter meeting type experience - so bring your friends. But my favorite part - is what I would consider to be the secret menu. If they can build it - they will. So skip the menu and ask for what you want. They pride themselves on excellent suggestoins an eye to giving you what you want. My favorite is to let them know I'm on a carnivoire diet and have them recommend things that go well together from their menu. Then they pop it all into the register and serve it piping hot and tasty. No fuss. I love it!

The food here is consistent. Decent entry-point TexMex place…read more The issue I have is: was here buying a combo plate for my senior aged dad who lives nearby. I'd seen on their website, $11.99 for a chicken enchilada plate (2 enchil, rice, beans, drink). When the worker was ringing it up, it came up on the screen at $10.99, then they added $1.00 for each chicken enchilada. So the total before tax was $12.99. I don't care about the dollar, but I do care about businesses being honest and charging what they say the price is. The worker was young, and let's be honest, clueless. Didn't know what I was saying or how to speak to it when brought up. A veteran worker, who I saw here a month ago when buying a taco plate for dad, knew what the deal was. She said their point of sale may not match the website, or vice versa, and to leave a review to help prompt them to get on top of their stuff. So here we are. I like the place, it's decent food and first-tier pricing pretty much. I went on their website after the fact, and have added the photo here. It plainly says: "Cheese/Ground Sirloin/Chicken/Veggie. $11.99". Taco Joint management/ownership: fix it. Get your point of sale prices aligned with your website. Your customers who notice details see these things. You're exhibiting a mild case of bait-n-switch here. Giving one price online, when the customer comes in the door that's not the price.

I got ground beef, al pastor, and barbacoa along with rice, beans, and chips with queso. The service was just ok, the person at the counter was not really interested in explaining anything or offering suggestions. The food came out fairly quickly, maybe 15 minutes, and it was all pretty good, but not great. The chips were a little chewy, almost stale, and the tacos, while tasty, were absolutely swimming in grease. So much grease that they were actually hard to eat because the tortilla was falling apart, and you couldn't put them back on the plate because of the pool of grease were the tacos were. The beans were actually super tasty, but sadly I'm not going to a taco place just because they had good beans, you know? The salsas were pretty good, but very, very spicy! I am hispanic, and I love me some heat, but I was reaching for the water quite a bit with the salsa. So, just be aware of the spice level there. Overall, just an average taco joint, but the price point was high for what you got. It was $16 plus tax for my meal, and I got water to drink. I probably won't be back, but I certainly wouldn't discourage anyone from trying them out.
