I usually mobile order from here and my order is ready in about 5 minutes. They are located off Chapman and Placentia ave. next to Sonic. I've tried the chicken nachos and tostada salads and they're consistently good. I also tried the chicken tortilla soup and thought it was a nice healthy alternative to regular fast food items.
I last stopped by on 9/1/2023 at around 1:00 PM for a quick lunch with my coworkers. This was my second time coming to this location. The location was pretty empty and clean with indoor seating available. I ordered the following: Orig Pollo Bowl w/ Flour Tortilla + Sm Drink - $5.29 It's a pretty good deal but it's not much food (but with today's inflation, $5.29 is still a good steal). Please note that they don't give you many chicken pieces and the bowl is mainly loaded with beans. However, it was still quite filling for me and was still quite tasty. A little sad that they no longer offer a self-service sauce station, but it might be for cleanliness reasons. Just be sure to ask them for more sauces! Parking: No issues with parking! Location: Convenient to CSU Fullerton campus. All in all, it's a little disappointing to see all the bad reviews, but I'm relieved to have a different (more positive) experience.
