" We are huge fans of this place! Every time we go, we are greeted with friendly service, and the food is served quick. The chicken tacos are my go-to and the spice level is just right. Portions are usually fair but can vary day-to-day. Overall, a fantastic place to satisfy your cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with my visit. The chicken was undercooked, and I had a pretty long wait despite the drive-thru being light. On the plus side, the staff was friendly, and the ambiance was nice. I think they’re still worth a try, but I’ll be more cautious next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this location for the first time and was very happy with my experience! The chicken was perfectly grilled, and the sides were fresh. I also loved how they have a quick option for takeout. Definitely one of the better fast-food places for authentic flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious, authentic Mexican food! Their half chicken meal is super filling and oh so flavorful. The spices they use make the chicken taste like it’s fresh off the grill at a family gathering. Plus, the sides of beans and rice are plentiful. Definitely a hidden gem in South Austin for anyone craving high-quality fast food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chicken and plantains, and everything was delicious! The only downside was the service was a bit slow due to the lunch rush, but the taste of the food made it worth it. I appreciated the freshness of all the ingredients stacked with flavors. Will return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hoping for an authentic Mexican experience, but sadly, the chicken was dry on one side. The atmosphere was decent, though, and the salsa helped to elevate the meal. I might give it another shot, but only if I’m in the neighborhood. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was fantastic! The charcoal chicken was juicy and full of flavor, just how I like it. I was also pleased with the portions, as they left me feeling full without breaking the bank. However, I found the service to be a bit rushed, which affected my overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)
