Charo Chicken - Costa Mesa

I choose to get Charro chicken about once every three months. I prefer drive thru chicken. But I do like their tortillas a little better and their side selections. My kids like it, however, a few times my family found it to be a little too salty. But when we it’s not overly salty chicken, it’s really good. This location is convenient next to Starbucks and aqua dental on Fairview and baker

For years this has been a favorite, highly recommend giving it a try!

This place is great, I think much better than it's competitor el pollo loco. Chicken is moist and flavorful, rice and beans and tortillas are all really tasty. I love the red rice! Great easy meal for our picky toddlers. We will start coming more often!

The BBQ sauce was tangy and was a perfect choice to smother the chicken in.Service: The staff was friendly and helped me choose my items. Place was also clean.Final word. I got the 3 piece meal for $15...but it does not include a drink. Should though for $15.Parking: 40 spaces
