Can you believe that I live near El Regio for almost 20 years and I just stepped in last week. Wow. Time flies. I smell the smoky aroma every other day because I happened to be out and about. The wind blew from here to my house. Mmm... suddenly, had a crave for some delicious chicken. I jumped in my car and headed there. Parking lot is shared by other businesses at the strip mall with Popeye Chicken. Ironically, these two chicken restaurants compliment each other. The menu was easy to read. Except the menu monitors moved too fast. It's basically whole chicken, half chicken and 2 pieces of chicken. Then, add some sides and drinks to make a complete meal. After I got my chicken, I took it home immediately and shared with friends. I like the flavor and fast service. I'll be back to try the lunch menu. read more

Great chicken and fajita tacos also the parrillada is really good and fresh overall everything is good I been going there for over 10 years

Avoid this location at all costs, I ordered the COMBO PLATE ($22.99) that includes; Grilled Chicken, Beef Fajitas, Ribs & Sausage with Grilled Onions, Limes, Tortillas & zesty Salsas. I was charged $29.99, I know the price doesn't include taxes but how do you go from $23 to $30??? Then I opened the bag only to find out it had NO chicken in my order and when I complained, the lady at the counter told me that the order doesn't include chicken! $29.99 for a few strips of Fajitas, 2 Ribs and 4 little Sausages!!?? ROBBERY!!! Stay Away!!! Zero stars!! read more

The start was not great since there was no soap in the men's room....The counter girl did go the check after I told her, so that was encouraging.... Debes lavarte las manos! The girls at the counter were handling a pretty good lunch crowd. The fajitas tacos were really good and jammed with meat. Obviously, they are known for their chicken, but you can't go wrong with the fajitas. The only thing that I missed was beer. read more

Stopped in yesterday to place an order to go. Ordered the half chicken plus order of rice. They give you complimentary corn tortillas and onions which is a nice. When I walked in, I was the first one at the counter, and he took my order right away. He packed the meal fast and asked if I like salsa, and gave me the red and the green salsa. The red is milder and green one is spicy. The rice was packaged tightly and the half chicken is also wrapped snugged to avoid any spilling in route to next destination. For 2 hungry people who went bike riding for several hours, it was the perfect lunch at a reasonable price. read more

I love this place ! Chicken is really good and they give a good portion. I've never eaten inside the restaurant and I always do take out. It's definitely a whole in the wall but it's affordable and clean. I will continue to come back! read more

I don't know if this spot is a chain, but it looks like it could be one. Numbered Specials, English Descriptions (props for the Spanish being in big print and the English being in small print)... The Ambiance - On the cool, I strolled in around 3 pm and the inside was kinda dark. The Parking - There's plenty Clientele - Neighborhood spot for sure. The Service - Nice but harried. But if you're a real fan of Pollo a la Brasa, Charbroiled Chicken, Monterrey style Chicken, the Latin American take on roasting/rotisserie - this place is nice. Missing from the menu are fan favorites like ripe sweet plantains and yucca fries, but they had the other sides that I've become used to. Papas Fritas, Arroz, Borracho Beans.... They had some salsa on the side including the standard green sauce that's a lot hotter than you think it would be, a mild red, a scary looking crimson, and a molcahete salsa that looked ever so chunky. I ordered the Pollo Medio, Half Chicken, and the cashier reached into an oven like contraption and pulled out one of those paper outside/foil inside bags with half a chicken inside. They had Mexican Coke as well, but it's not like that's hard to find on Beechnut. Minus her taking the a phone call for a take out order, and the super cheap and picky chicks in front of me who wanted to interrogate the cashier on the provenance and price particulars of the poultry, the actual time from order to food in my hand was less than 4 minutes. Nice. The chicken itself was flavorful, moist and tender. For a brief second in time, my fast food eating cube mates were as enthralled as I was....yet they would continue to go across the street to the mega-chain burger place that they complain about. le sigh Definite good eats if you're in the area. read more

I love this place. I've been getting chicken from them since before they were a brick and mortar place and cooked the chicken inside an old school bus. I always order the whole chicken that comes with rice, beans, tortillas, and sauces. My dad and I are always satisfied with their delicious chicken. Its seasoned well and always grilled to perfection. The charro beans are really good and have a nice kick to them. They use a lot of sausage, bacon, and cilantro to give them that particular flavor. Their rice is my favorite aside from the chicken and I wish they could just give me a pan of it lol. If you're in the area check it out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Get the half chicken lunch special. Game over! Amazing. Service is nice. But the big thing is the amount of food you get for the amount of money you spend. I mean...this can't be real chicken!!! You get a kings feast for the price of a cup of coffee. You can feed a small island! I've seen it done dude. TWICE! So go during lunch to get the special. You will have enough food to take home. Location is cool. Service, again, is nice. Yep, I'm a fan. read more

Been coming here for years! I love their chicken and they are fair with the price... the portions are small but the taste is always great!

Spent about $11 on a quesadilla that was not even good... there was lil to no beef in it and to top it all off you cant get sauce because if you are not eating there they charge $1 for a small container. read more

Chicken was dry and it didn't even seem like it was 1/2 of a chicken. Beans were good rice was soggy.not worth paying 9 dollars. Go elsewhere. read more

Slow service stood in line over 10 mins waiting for some on just to acknowledge i was here order was not ready when i arrive

Not sure what happened to this location. So sad because they had amazing food. They changed all the recipes and nothing taste good anymore. Chicken is always dry, cold and flavorless, they have a new red and green salsa and they taste terrible. Now I have to buy from La Reina Tortilheria for a decent chicken. read more

Uncooked bloody chicken! No longer taking the restaurants.com certificate which is the reason why I learned about this place. No problem I still ordered, the don't take American Express its ok I used a different form of payment. The chicken was dry and UNCOOKED AND BLOODY the sauces are awful tasted old like they were going bad. Pico de gallo was a waste of money only onion and so old the onion was brown. I'm happy I ordered fries which was the only thing I could eat safely I hope. They were Old not crunchy, saggy and no taste but at least the looked cooked. I'm really hoping I don't get salmonella or any disease from this place. read more

There chicken is the bomb... best chicken ever!!! But DO NOT get anything else from the menu!!!!! I usually always just go and buy a chicken but the other day my son and I decided to eat there and try something different. We had the barbacoa tacos as soon as the waitress brought them they were completely flooded with oil unable to eat. We tried ordering a quesadilla and it took for ever to get it the waiter did however come by and said it was going to be little longer. When we finally got the quesadilla it was the most nastiest thing I've ever tasted the chicken was so dry and the cheese was not melted to make things worst the chicken had bones. It went directly in the trash. Like I said try the chicken avoid everything else on there menu!!!! read more

This place sucks. The locations that they have in Dallas are so much better. Like to the 10th power. I was extremely disappointed. The chicken had good flavor but was dry as hell. I mean dry to the point in needed to be drenched in hot sauce. The grilled onion that they give is really small. I was extremely disappointed. Seriously save yourself and save your money. Never will be back to this place. Also, the people that work there at night are not nice at all. Overall I didn't have a good experience. read more

Sooo good!!! the chicken is so addicting! The beans rice...yum!!! I dont recommend the nachos. The street tacos are good too!!!

Great chicken! I grew up in CA and have always missed the little chicken places there. When I found this place I was pretty excited. They did not disappoint. Prices are low and the amounts are large. We stop and pick up the 2 chicken family special every time we're in the area. Service is fast. I barely sat down today before my to go order was ready. Lots of seating if you want to eat there. read more

DO NOT GO to this location!!! They are rude and look at your like you are stupid when you present your restaurant.com certificate. The girl at the front desk gave me attitude and I was totally fine with not using the certificate so there was no need for the attitude. I ordered flautas and they were very hard. Not edible at all. I went back to tell her so she proceeded to go to the back and tell the cook I was being annoying. She came back and told me , "Yes, he may have overcooked them " a little", but she told me she could not do anything about it. I told her I could not eat them because they were hard and the chicken inside was literally fried to a crisp and to at least give me something else. I had to settle on fries. (which cost a lot less than what I paid for the flautas but I was short on time) By then, a whole hour had passed and my lunch time was over. My sister ate there too and her food was terrible was well. The salsa bar smells really bad and it is not clean. Don't waste your money (or your certificate) on this place. The experience was so horrible I thought I would come on here and warn people. They don't care about the customer. I go out to eat to have a nice meal not come out feeling like I intruded on their day. read more
