"Best chicken sandwiches and fries, and horchata as well. Never going back to Popeyes"

"My first time trying this restaurant, I got a 4 piece mixed chicken meal with a large drink. I must say, I was impressed! The fried chicken was very flavorful, crispy, and juicy. My meal came with fried breast and wings, and grilled leg and thigh. The fried breast was surprisingly still juicy considering it was the breast, and the flavors exploded in my mouth! The same can be said for the grilled chicken too. Delicious, juicy flavors bursting in my mouth with every single bite. What more could you want? For my sides, I got to select 2 for this meal. I got the regular fries and the yuca fries. Both were amazing. Yuca was big and thick, but also crispy when hot. Regular fries tasted very similar to McDonald's, and still pretty darn delicious. My meal also came with a free dipping sauce and a bag of 2 tortillas. The tortillas were warm, but had a strange stale texture. I would not recommend the tortillas as I had expected them to be softer overall. I came back the next day for my family to try out. I ordered from the app since I had a $10 off any meal coupon. I ordered the 12 piece meal which comes with 12 pieces of chicken (I got mixed legs and thighs), 3 sides (I picked the same regular and yuca fries with an additional rice side), and additional tortillas or dinner rolls (or both if you want). I went with the dinner roll this time and I got 6 of them, even though they were listed as 4 on the app (which was a plus!). When I came to the store, the manager working there told me that the grilled chicken was still cooking which would be ready in about 5 minutes or so. I waited, and she came back out and offered me a free drink, which was very nice of her! Great customer service there. After my food was ready, I drove home which was around 10 minutes away from the restaurant. Even after 10-15, the food was still amazing. The fried chicken was still crispy and not too overwhelmingly greasy. The rice was pleasantly seasoned, nothing too crazy. Pretty much the same experience as the last time I had it, except with a lot more food. The side portions increase with each meal upgrade, so you're really getting a bang for you're buck. With my experience, I am sure to come back again!"

"Perfect if you're shopping and want a good, quick, and reasonably priced lunch. My two piece meal with all white meat ($8.50) consisted of one large fried chicken breast and a wing. I chose sweet plantains as my side with a dinner roll. A large hortada was only $2.75. A pretty good deal for a little under $12."

"I got 2 orders of 20 pieces, 1 a meal with 4 family sides which seemed small compared to Popeyes, and 1 just chicken. I wanted 20 fried and 20 grilled, but they didn't have any/couldn't make any grilled even though I was willing to wait. However, the flavor of the seasoned crust was totally worth it! The Campero sauce is great, too! Tortillas were strange, raw warm corn tortillas in plastic sandwich bags. They don't have the 20 pieces for $30 with 2 large sides for $9 anymore."

"I was shopping in the area and decided to stop in as I had this marked down to try. Quite a range of items and what's nice is that with the 4-piece combo you can split between the grilled and fried chicken. I did the 4-piece combo: fried thigh, fried breast, grilled thigh, grilled breast, side of beans, and side of fried yucca (plus tortillas.) I was also tempted to get one of the fried chicken sandwiches. Even with a drive home of about 10-15 minutes, everything held up well. Fried chicken, sandwich, and yucca wer still pretty crispy. Flavors were really good: fried chicken was seasoned, but not too salty and not remotely oily/greasy, grilled chicken had a nice variety of kind of an Gerber seasoning, beans were great, and the sandwich was perfect (I used the orangish sauce to dip it in. Not sure what it is, but it worked with everything.) Small negatives in that the tortillas were just two, basic corn tortillas in a plastic bag that was slightly warmed. They kind of crumbled/cracked and I'm guessing they were just like a standard grocery store tortilla. And not totally a negative, but I'd recommend ordering ahead. We did a walk-in and I'd say it took about 20 minutes or so to get the order. There were a few people ahead of us. Upside is things seemed pretty fresh."
