Surfin-Chicken

I think it's the flavoring they use that makes it soo good. Only locals know about it but its the best chicken anywhere, and its a cool place to just hang out and watch the traffic on the freeway, forget Pollo Loco Surfin' Chicken Rocks! Order the half chicken plate with the corm tortillas. I've never tried anything else.The only thing missing here is the beer. (no liquor license ..yet.)

first of all, el pollo does not hold a candle to this place. they are not even on the same plane of existence. totally different style of food. in fact, this place does not compare to anywhere i have ever been. SO, there is a SPECIFIC way of eating surfin chicken. you order the lunch special with flour tortillas (at lunch time...). you pull apart the chicken, your hands will be greasy and its a lot of work but totally worth the price of the food and the payoff of the meal, but you get it all taken off the bone, put it in the tortilla, add the beans but strain the water, lettuce, guac and pico, wrap it all up. got a NICE TASTY LEMONY DELICIOUS burrito. hands down my favorite restaurant on the planet. hole in the wall, yes. i have never left there disappointed. i live in phoenix now and i miss surfin chicken all the time.

Pretty good place for a low cost lunch!  Chicken and fish grilled fresh (but I think the fish is frozen?)

For $5-$6 you can have solid meal!  Not too many places that serve this type of food around the area.
