El Pollo Norteno

One of the best chicken places! The flavor isn't just on top of the chicken but through out each piece. Prices are affordable and quality is consistent. Sometimes I daydream about how good it is. Service is quick and straight forward. There is seating inside and parking can be limited so I recommend parking in the next lot to the bowling alley.

I was in need of a whole chicken and this was convenient and a restaurant I always wanted to try. I walked in with all intentions of getting my chicken and going home and enjoying it. I asked the cashier how much for a chicken. I have to tell you, I got major sticker shock. So much so, that I did not buy my chicken. They have an extensive menu and prices overall were reasonable for other items. Therefore, I cannot comment on the food, but I can comment on the location. The restaurant has plenty of seating. Parking area is a bit small so there may be congestion during rush hour, but I went off peak and it was fine. Great branding and restaurant was clean and inviting. It is located on a convenient retail strip and ingress/egress was easy.Please come and visit the restaurant and create your own experience.

I had the chicken torta and it was absolutely delicious. The torta bread was warm and toasty. It was filled with chicken, refried beans, lettuce and tomatoes. It was served with chips and a fried jalapeños. The jalapeño was spicy and I loved it How good was it? Well, I went in two days in a row. I may go back again next week!

Seasoned okay, tender however it was a tad dry for me and my liking. I love the pollo in Guadalajara and was looking for a spot in the OC. Again this is my review so please give them a try for yourself

Came back again this time to try the family meal deal... Got the number 4 which is an entire chicken and 1 pound of carne asada with 2 sides (We got rice and beans) tortillas, sauces and spiced carrots... this is the way to go if you want to grab a meal everyone will enjoy on your way homeE from work. Service was again great and the smell of the barbecue makes you so hungry..

Great food and step above el pollo loco, which is good as well. A little more expensive but only a couple dollars more. I like the burritos and 2 piece chicken plate. No complaints other than I would not consider this healthy food. Service is nice but parking can be tough during lunch time.

The chicken is very similar to El Pollo Loco. It was really juicy and tasty. The price is cheaper. They have different sauces. No salsa here. The service was fast and extremely friendly. Would recommend.

Delicious is not even doing this restaurant justice. Wonderful mesquite grilled chicken and tasty sides. This place is our new go to for family dinners.

Great spot. First time visit today. Prices were good. The chicken had great flavor.

Went here based on the reviews and wasn't disappointed. The only thing I would say is that the chicken didn't seem like it was freshly grilled, but maybe reheated. We did go when it wasn't super busy yet, so maybe that's why. Ordered the carne asada burrito - the meat had a good grilled flavor to it. Only downside is the amount of rice to meat - personally wish there was more meat than rice. Again, the chicken was pretty good, and overall, it tasted more authentic, like a meal you'd enjoy in Mexico. Even the white meat wasn't dried out, and that's a hard thing to find these days! If you're in the mood for some good chicken, check this place out! Service was great as well!
