    Quack quack! That's right... Chicken Koop. Established in 2016, and we've been simply roasting the best ever since. simply the best.

    That's ridiculously expensive for literally nothing
    Tim E.

    What I got there was $25.38 and it wasn't even a full meal. Was it award winning in any way... No! The mac & cheese was mediocre at best. The mash potatoes tasted better but the amount you pay for is so laughable. Again it isn't even awarded winning sides. I came here to get something soft for my mom and in the past I did get mash potatoes and she enjoyed it but it was expensive for what she got but after getting this Mac & cheese and seeing what was paid for it has finally gotten me to write a review on it. I know everything cost more but this is a total ripoff and I won't be coming back anytime soon. This is highway robbery for what you get.

    Happy Hour information
    Stephanie M.

    Came to this location recently for lunch, because the Alhambra location is no longer open for lunch. This location is a little different, some of the menu & Happy Hour options vary, and it is much smaller inside, but they also have an outside patio to sit. The service was good, and quick. My daughter came for a specific sandwich that she loves, and said it was equally good at this location. I came for the chicken and waffles, I asked for tenders instead of bone-in chicken pieces, and unfortunately it was not as good as the Alhambra location. The battered coating is different and completely falling off of the tenders, the waffle was a little overcooked as well. The Alhambra location uses a panko crusted breading and it's so good and crunchy! I don't think I would return to this location.

    FOOD WAS SOOOO GOOD. we got the marg pitcher mango flavored and it was strong! I was so surprised 10/10. Food was very spicy so be aware but ask for adjustments !

    Hawaiian style

    I've been here plenty of times I usually order the Hawaiian style plate, which is not on the menu, but I also have tried the Cuban and garlic plates, which are very tasty too. The restaurant is always packed and a bit nosey so I usually order it to go. Sometimes the plates are more packed than other times, It's a hit or miss. The potato and chicken taquitos are really good too. I used to get the chicken posole but it's just not the same lately. It's very bland now. But the chicken is always good and food is always tasty. Haven't had an issue with bad service here either.

    This is one of my all time favorite eating spots! Whenever my work has trainings, we always try to get Chicken Koop because their food is always delicious. The 20 educators who were at the training got seconds and thirds they loved the food so much. The one thing I had never tried but did this time were the plantains- they were perfectly cooked and made my mouth water. Please try Chicken Koop out, you won't be disappointed! The service is always fantastic and when I go to the restaurant it is nice and clean and welcoming.

    Great spot for some chicken! We came for a late dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food. They have an outdoor area if you prefer that option. Service was great. My husband ordered a margarita. We ordered the tacos cooked in different flavors. We loved the dark meat chicken plate. The cucumber was refreshing. The habanero sauce was spicy and tasty. The pita bread was a perfect pair with the chicken. The chicken was flavorful and not dry at all. We'll come back and check out their happy hour and lunch menu!

    Receipt
    Tina G.

    so they are under new management and those new prices are overpriced now. for one small margarita for $14 that's with happy hour .. not even that it's not even real liquor my last time I go there no more chicken tacos they took off the menu as well. i was a regular here as well after today seen my receipt no more .... i want to give no stars but it made me give at least 1 to continue my review but I was very disappointed they deserve no stars really ..

    Taco description
    Michelle Z.

    One of my taco Tuesday hot spot. On Tuesdays, tacos are $2.50 and it takes 2 for me to get full. Don't forget it's happy hour right now. The poutine we got was $14. Service was great, festive music, and a laid back atmosphere.

    Waiting to see what this place is about

    The Chicken Koop The place where you can't just have one favorite because everything is so delicious & always fresh. I feel like the chicken is made to order. chicken wings 10/10 ,chicken quesadillas And oh my God don't get me started on their Michelada's they have one of the best Michelada mix I have ever tasted from what I hear It's homemade those ladies in the back know exactly what they're doing. I do have a favorite waitress here at this location. She's always so attentive making sure our order comes out fast and fresh. I love that when We wanna try something new She's always willing to give a sample first to ensure that we know and like what we are ordering! she's very great at what she does. Her name is Brianna and don't forget to request her on your next chicken koop visit!

    Chicken taquiots and Brussels sprouts.
    Vanessa G.

    5 stars hands down! The taquitos and brussels were our favorite dish of the night at Booktoberfest. The staff was very friendly too. I'd love to go actually go in and enjoy some food and drinks here. From what I could tell online, this place is exactly my vibe. It looks fun and lively.

We got there without the usual long wait, which was a nice surprise! I ordered the Cali Toast with country potatoes and a Rose Latte, and everything was so good. The Cali Toast is one of my go to orders, and the Rose Latte is definitely worth trying if you're in the mood for something a little different. We sat outside, and the patio has such a relaxing vibe, perfect for lingering over coffee and good conversation. I've been coming here for years, and it's one of those places I always find myself coming back to. Great food, friendly service, and consistently a solid breakfast spot. If you're local and haven't been yet, you're missing out!

There is more outdoor seating on the covered patio than indoor seating. Both seating areas are nice. The lady who seated us was very friendly and pretty attentive and especially considering she wad handling a lot of other tables. Both the house eggs Benedict and house French toast were good. Was expecting crispy bacon on the benny considering the description, but the only difference from classic seemed to be the avocado. The benny egg and muffin were both collected well, especially the eggs they did a great job on those. Wife didn't like the flavor of the hollandaise sauce, but thought it was fine. She liked the French toast much better. You did not need syrup as the butter cream and chocolate sauce were plenty sweet on their own. Half serving is probably ok for one person, full was nice to share. The bathroom was clean, large, and single person--great for a pit stop before you head out! The mason jar waters were cool. Overall, nice local joint for a peaceful weekend or vacation breakfast. Definitely recommend giving them a try. Will be back sometime.

Their moles are definitely worth trying. We've had the mole negro and the mole pipián, and both were delicious. The mole negro is a little sweeter, while the pipián has more spice. They also serve tortilla chips with mole, which is something I haven't seen at most Mexican restaurants. The reason I can't give 5 stars is because the service has been hit or miss. We've been here three times. The first time was shortly after they opened. The food tasted decent but came out cold, and the service wasn't the best. It was during the week and not very busy, so we figured they were still working out the kinks of being a new restaurant. After some time, we decided to give them another try. We went on a busy Friday night and were seated right away. The service was much better and everything seemed to be running more smoothly. We talked with the owner who was working as well as his wife who was bartending. They were both really friendly, and the owner seemed genuinely happy that we came back after we told him about our first experience. He even gave my husband a free beer after we moved to the bar to keep drinking after we finished our meals to allow for other guests to dine at the table we were. There was also a trio playing that night which added to the ambiance and was a nice way to end the work week. Our most recent visit was a couple of weeks ago for my husband's birthday. It was during the week and once again they were short-staffed. There was only one waitress taking care of the entire restaurant. She was so sweet and hustling the whole time but she was also bartending while serving every table. We definitely had to pack our patience because she was doing the best she could. Overall, Sol 626 has so much potential to be a great spot. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are what keep bringing us back. They need a little more staffing so the service can be as good as everything else.

We were even given rolls with butter as well. We actually chose this place because they have a cheese wheel and no one ended up ordering that. They also were very attentive and refilled our water without us asking. I got the rigatoni a las vodka with chicken, and my two other friends got the baked rigatoni and the fettuccine Alfredo. Our dishes were delicious and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the chocolate Gelato and tiramasu for dessert. Those were a perfect night cap to our dinner and catch up session. The restaurant is deceptively big and had a whole back area, I am guessing for large parties. It was very clean and we were able to catch up without any issues. I definitely recommend coming here for the food and excellent service.
