This place is a must my grandparents used to bring me here since i was a kid and will forever have a place in my heart The taste in over 10 years hasn't changed but gotten better being a longtime customer i'm so happy this place still stands with it being a part of my childhood ”
“ The best Pollo al Carbon in the Valley. My dad used to bring this home when I was a kid and it was my favorite. I just tried it again after 7 years and it is as good as I remember. The green salsa is - Highly recommend this place!!! ”
“ Such great grilled chicken! I only came to the area to drop off a totaled vehicle across the street but the smoke smelled so GOOD I had to roll the dice...so GLAD I did!! Been back twice since. The chicken is AMAZING. 0 complaints (I ask for well-done). Like so good, I'm scared to try another menu item and be disappointed when I found such a sure thing! The salsa is crazy good...best salsa I ever tasted. Nothing in LA rivals it I promise. Both salsas are great! You'll find yourself putting their salsa over other ppl's food! Downside: There IS a wait. 2 easy fixes: 1) Call ahead, or 2) Place your order then go grab a beer at the liquor store in the lot! ”
