“ Radman brought some roasted chicken to go from Supremo and it was fantastic. I will have to go get some for myself, soon. ”

“ This place hits the spot. No matter how big or how small the order is... they deliver! (i mean do a good job, but they also have delivery ). Their chicken is seasoned perfectly, along with salsa, and rice and a little beans in a nice small corn tortilla... thats all i need..simple and satifying. I've only eaten on site once, and it was not bad.. Good place in the Mission, apart from all the other taquerias and restaurants... this is one of its own (to my knowledge). They mostly do one thing, and they do it pretty good... I mean this as a compliment, but i liken it to an upgraded el pollo loco style (dont hate me lol). the other times... great, amazing, fast, consistent... I have an order for 10-20 people... i can order it that morning, and they can accomodate. Huge plus for adding door dash so we can place and advanced order. Im a dinosaur and I used to call in my order when they open at 11.. One order, they did forget my tortillas.. but that was probably the only time i was disappointed. The biggest issue i have here is the parking situation.. Its a busy street..and a popular restaurant. My tip here is that you should expect to park further down and walk here.. If not... feel free to gamble and park on site if you're lucky.. Today though, I brought somoene with me so I could double park, and he could run in for the food. the lot was EMPTY.. Overall, i'd say its a solid 4.5 in my books.. and its worth the 5 round up.. Keep it up!! ”
“ I must say the chicken here is always a hit. My bf introduced me to this place a while ago as he grew up eating here. This time my friend and I were in the area and decided to have lunch here. Normally this place gets packed by noon. We decided to get the 8 pcs Family Pack combo because why not. When we first got it we were shocked as to how big the servings were for the side. But let me tell you, we devoured the whole thing like we haven't ate in days . So, I think we got our monies worth for sure. Chicken was moist and had their Cuban taste and great with all the sides we got. The place has plenty of space inside to eat. They have their own parking spaces outside. There's buses that stops nearby as well. ”
“ Old neighborhood go to. Grilling smell in the air. Follow the smell. Lots of people are waiting for their orders. They honored the yelp check-in with free mousse slice. I'll take it. That chicken was well seasoned with garlic! Well, I smelled it. I got 4 pieces: thigh, drumstick, breast, and a wing. It was delicious, or is it because I was hungry. Hungry! I was given salsa and 4 pieces of tortillas. It reminds me of chicken i had in Peru. Grilled chicken. So many chicken on that grill. The cashier was so nice to warn me that it would take 20 minutes. ”
“ I use to frequent this place more back in the days. I had a chance to try it again and it was almost exactly the same. The chicken had some Latin flavor and the beans and rice enhanced the taste. The tortillas were on point. This is a great alternative to having fried chicken. ”
“ It's been YEARS since we've came back here and since we were in the area, decided to come back and have it again. The nostalgia from eating this charbroiled chicken and salsa brings back so many good memories! Got the family pack deal with 8 pieces of chicken, 2 sides, tortillas and salsa. Also an order of fish and chips. The chicken is very well seasoned and grilled however, I wish there was more meat on the bones. The pieces are very small. The Spanish rice and beans are really good along with then salsa. The fish and chips were decent. Seems the recipes have stayed the same and it was worth coming back. We were too hungry to take a lot of pics. So I quickly snapped a pic of the chicken. Overall a solid 4.25 stars. ”
