    We were in the area and wanted to eat at Super Pollo. I got the Half Chicken Combo with flour tortillas for $15.99 and a Super Carne Asada Soft Taco for $5.89. Everything tasted so good. My chicken was coated with garlic lemon and butter. Yum! So juicy and flavorful. I definitely want to come back to try their Super Chicken Burrito!

    Half Chicken Combo
    Chase K.

    Came here while searching for a burrito spot. Thought to myself why I'd get a burrito from a place named super pollo, and went with the half chicken! I writing this 5 star review while standing waiting for my order because it smells like HEAVEN IN HERE! The chickens are cooking over the flame in the window and the smells are just incredible thru this small interior. The exterior patio is huge and I am excited to bring my family and stroller as it is very accessible. Now the food... I witnessed them ladle the lemon garlic butter over the platter chicken I am droooling! I got home and this chicken is for REAL! I utilized the tortillas and made 4 chicken tacos with the rice and beans and their spicy salsa and for $17 this was MONEYYY! The chicken was juicy and tender and dripping in that lemon garlic butter the beans from the pot simmering on the stove were perfect and the rice was phenomenal. I will Be going back!!

    Super Chicken Quesadilla Burrito (vegetarian)

    I've come here a couple of times in the evening and it's never been too long of a wait - they have outdoor seating which is convenient. This place is nice not only for their meat options (I've tried the quesadilla and burrito) but also because they offer vegetarian options. I have a dear family member who is vegetarian so having that option is really nice, plus it tastes fantastic! Lots of good quality food for a reasonable price. Overall a very good casual spot for Mexican food.

    Friendly service. Limited outdoor seating and parking. Garlic lemon butter chicken worth the try. Similar to Hawaiian shrimp plate.

    Super breakfast burrito with chicken, pico de gallo, and homemade guacamole
    Tommy L.

    Best breakfast burrito in Newport Beach! Here's why. This spot's been around forever. I was a local here for years, moved away, and now that I'm back, this was one of the first places I had to come back to first. Their breakfast burritos are sooo good. If you've never been here, it's a small spot with a pretty decent size patio. I don't remember it being this big before, but now there's plenty of outdoor seating. I got the Super Breakfast Burrito with grilled chicken. It's loaded with hash browns, refried beans, cheese, two eggs, and all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. I asked for side of the fresh pico de gallo and guacamole! That extra boost is what makes it the bomb. The burrito's packed and every bite gives you a little of everything. Their spicy salsa brings a nice little kick too. One of the things I've always liked about this place is how they grill the chicken right in front of you. You can actually see them working the grill, chopping it up fresh, and the smell is unreal. The service is always cool, really friendly. Just good vibes, great food, and I'm glad to be back in Newport with this back in my rotation.

    Half Chicken Combo

    Delicious and moist chicken! Drove by and decided to try it and it did not disappoint. The service was friendly both on the phone and in person and they made sure to double check to make sure that the order was right with no cheese. We got the half chicken with garlic and it was so tasty. The rice and beans were average but the chicken was def the super star. Interior was quaint but clean. Tiny parking area but easy enough.

    Today I came in around 9:07 pm I order for my family end up $70.00 I'll upload the receipt. When my uncle insert the debit card to pay. System ask for $17 for tip. Since my uncle declined. The lady got upset. That she didn't even say Thank you. We ate our food there outdoor 9:30pm she close the doors. Came out side to start cleaning. No word came out from the lady. Make sure if you end up going give at $20 tip. Just for them to take the order The food wasn't that great..

    Chilaquiles Con Huevo Combo and Super Breakfast Quesadilla

    The workers were friendly and the food was delicious! For both chilaquiles and breakfast quesadilla, the total was 32$

    Everything was fresh, taquitos were hot and had good flavor. The burrito was a little on the small side but still very good. Excellent salsa and hot sauce. Definitely less expensive and better flavor than all the fancy overpriced taquerias in Newport. Workers were all friendly, little dirty but it was at the end of the day. Only outdoor seating or to go.

    Very fast service and really good authentic Mexican food! I found this location by surprise and when visiting a Walgreens and I'm really happy to have gone here. I ordered the Super Carne Asada burrito for $14 and it was sooo good. It comes with hot sauce and is moderate in size. I would love to come back. There's seating outside and with shade, but I strongly feel it would be good for to go/pick up orders just due to parking. Check out the most menu photos attached (:

    Wow! Super Pollo made me fall in love with chicken again! During a recent Orange County visit, I found myself getting over a cold and needed some comfort food to take to my hotel room down the street. I stumbled into Super Pollo by chance, only after seeing their super cute outdoor seating area with umbrella covered tables, patio lighting, and lush green palms potted throughout the seating area. Even though I was eating in, I still love a little ambiance even if only while waiting for my food. The chicken is flame broiled while you wait, and comes with several flavor options; garlic butter and lemon, seasoned, and spicy. I chose the garlic butter and lemon, and let me just say that flavor combo packs a punch! The chicken was tender, juicy and flavorful, and requires a handful of napkins to maintain decorum. Super Pollo is a small, hole-in-the-wall restauraunt, and I could see it easily getting overlooked in favor of other more flashy Costa Mesa and Newport Beach options. But I was really impressed with the flavor and the exceptional value found here. Do me a favor and check this place out! The staff are friendly, the food is great, and they've got a really cute patio area to enjoy your food. There's no valet, or super convenient parking aside from a limited number of spots in front, but you'll figure something out. Just remind yourself of the delicious chicken awaiting you, and you'll find a spot eventually.

When we arrived, we were shocked to see they were going to squeeze us into someone else's table filled with people that could not comfortably seat four additional people next to them . Horrified we requested what we originally booked and they said NOTHING accept they were REALLY BUSY and pointed us to the outdoor fire pits with no proper chairs or seating just a firepit to put a child to sit in front of. At this point zero management came to address this and zero servers as we asked for one . We were completely ignored . We were so hungry we just sat down desperate and starving. There was no omlette bar. (I was told on the phone there was an omlette bar before booking ) No sauces to go with any food. Dried up scrambled eggs and just a few dishes to choose from this 'buffet'. The ONLY salad dressings they had (2) were super sweet (no ranch) nothing . No flavor . Their non meat dishes were just one horrible dried up bean and grain pattie obviously frozen out of a box even an animal would never eat . It was that bad . Their 'replacement ' for almost zero dishes was a pancake ststion obviously to cut costs even more . The food was horrible . When you anticipate a special Mother's Day brunch that is horribly overpriced and get this in return its so disappointing and apalling .We were prepared to walk out after our bad news of no proper seating and terrible start but by then obviously we couldn't just go to another brunch on Mother's Day . Plus our other two guests were parking with a child so we were stuck. This was our only option or nothing. Its unbelievabke how am estsblishment can treat people like this especially on a soecial day like Mother's Day amd can command their pricing with no proper and safe seating for 4 with safe and healthy distancing with a fire pit as a SEAT. No apologies , no manager , nothing . just a terrible high bill, very little options and poor food quality . At best we should get a refund as this was false advertising and did not get a table for up to 4 . What an awful Mother's Day Brunch . We go out to eat EVERYWHERE around here but can't believe sonething like this can exist . So sad . This part of the day was ruined .

I went on a Friday night and it was VERY lively! There was a band playing by the bar and it was packed! People were drinking, dancing, hanging out. All of this is happening in a supermarket! Lots of food vendors to check out and all of it looked delicious! I don't remember the names of the places my friend and I ordered food from, but I had a chile relleno burrita, seafood cocktail, and pozole. I've never really had chile relleno, so I decided to just go for it and try something different even though there were other options that were more my preference. It was alright. Good thing it was only $5. The seafood cocktail was delicious! They did not skimp on the seafood and everything in it tasted so fresh. Pozole wasn't terrible, but just like my burrita, it was a bit on the bland side. Maybe my palate skews too heavily towards salty, but I felt like a little salt here and there would've really improved the flavors in everything we ordered. Overall the quality/freshness was there! Regarding the market part, nothing special. Maybe a little more selection than your typical Northgate, especially in the liquor department. Their wall of tequila was impressive. I will definitely be back again to try the other foods! In fact, I may just come all the way out here to do grocery shopping from time to time. I saw a guy doing some shopping with a cocktail in his cart and I want to live that life. Bro definitely had the right idea.

    The Menudo from the Birrieria La Menuderia place inside Mercado Gonzalez is so good!…read more They always sell out before noon, so come early in the morning! They offer the rojo (red) and blanco (white) versions of Menudo. I love that it comes with a lot of meat and fresh tortillas to eat it with. There is so much flavor in the soup. They went up in price ($17.99) as of 2026, and although I think it's pretty pricey, if you're already shopping here and have a craving for menudo, I think it's worth splurging. People who work here are always super nice and friendly - I just love coming to this place for my menudo fix!
