Great place, Victoria hooked it up, and to me, there isn't better chicken in Austin. Friendly and consistently good.

As silly as this might sound, it was pleasantly refreshing to find an independent chain in Austin with a drive-thru. Sometimes on my work days I just don't have the additional spoons to park and go inside a restaurant. Having to drive through allows me to catch up on emails while I'm waiting my turn and still support an independent business. Also the food was really darn tasty and reasonably priced.

Most amazing cauliflower and brussel sprouts I’ve ever eaten. The El Rey Taco was outstanding as well. This is my new go-to spot.

Never disappoints! My go-to is the Anchiote Chicken. Tender, flavorful. Rice and beans are also delicious. Little spicy for me, but tolerable and has great flavor.

Good service every time. The prices are a little high but the deliciousness makes up for it. You get what you pay for. They have a large menu and you can use the drive thru or they also have a small area where you can eat outdoors. Space is limited and this is also where you pick up your food if in foot. The food is great.

This place has no business being this good. We always order the achiote & citrus whole or half chicken and it is SO GOOD. The marinade, the grilled taste. The half chicken comes with grilled onions, rice, beans, tortillas, and 2 salsas. It easily feeds 2 people for about 20. Great deal for the quality food you’re getting! I don’t know why we don’t come here more. Drive through is super convenient. It’s a great price. Highly highly recommend.
