Food: I got the 3 piece meal with Charo rice and black beans. I chose the BBQ sauce. Delicious and moist chickens and the side were yummy. 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.

It’s way over priced for generic Mexican food. You’re better off going to Del Taco, it’s $5 for one taco and if you don’t check your order before you leave it’s most likely wrong. I asked for salsa and he said it’s in the bag there was no salsa in the bag. The taco was dry, all cabbage and pico de gallo needed flavor. Take your business somewhere else, they don’t care if you’re happy with your order.

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

Amazing Spices, Family-Friendly, and Vegetarian Delights - A 5-Star Experience at Charo Chicken in Costa Mesa!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Charo Chicken in Costa Mesa, California, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. This restaurant truly stands out for its delectable spices, diverse menu options, and welcoming ambiance, making it the perfect destination for both families and individuals seeking a memorable dining experience.

First and foremost, Charo Chicken's spices are nothing short of amazing. The chicken is impeccably seasoned with a delightful blend of herbs and spices, resulting in tender, juicy, and flavor-packed pieces that are simply irresistible. Whether you opt for their signature charbroiled chicken or their tender rotisserie, every bite is a delightful explosion of taste. The fries are also seasoned to perfection, adding an extra dimension of tastiness to the meal.

Speaking of the menu, one of the highlights of Charo Chicken is its extensive variety, catering to diverse palates. For families, the restaurant offers excellent deals on family-sized meals, allowing everyone to indulge in their favorite dishes without breaking the bank. The portions are generous, ensuring that no one leaves the table unsatisfied.

What impressed me even more was Charo Chicken's commitment to providing options for all dietary preferences. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to discover that they have an impressive selection of vegetarian dishes that do not compromise on flavor. From their veggie burrito to the garden salad with mouth-watering dressings, I felt equally pampered like any other guest at the table.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere at Charo Chicken was warm and inviting, creating a pleasant dining environment for all. The staff was attentive, friendly, and eager to assist with any special requests, making us feel right at home.

I've been looking forward to eating here again for years. The timing just never worked out until today. Unfortunately I wish I wouldn't t have. The woman who took my order was not friendly nor helpful. Our chicken was dry, the bean were served in a sloppy/messy container.

The salsa bar had diffrent styled tongs and spoons like WTH. The Pico de Gallo had tong to serve yourself with... tongs really?!?!. When I asked if there was a ladle I was told I could use a regular spoon. Come on management... you can't tell me this is news to you.

The seating area was okay, the mens restroom was disgusting stuff stuck on the wall above the urinal. No trash can, and the hand air dryer looks to have been installed by someone who didnt take any pride in thier work. I've always raved about Charro Chicken since back when it was on 19th street. I cant fathom recommending this place until it gets its act together.

Miss the old days when there was pride at this establishment. I still remember the grand opening.

Sincerely, An original...

Great to go place. When I am feeling lazy and don’t want to venture off to the unknown I stick to the classic grilled chicken. Must have their lemon garlic seasoning on the grilled chicken, with a side of mash potatoes and beans. I like to roll it up on the flour tortillas it comes with and make my own grilled chicken, mash, beans tacos. I know it sounds weird, but it taste great.

Service: It’s fast, just how I like my food to go. Call in 10 minutes before you arrive and your newly grilled chicken will be expecting you.

Location: Not the best looking environment to eat, it’s a little small and cramped. I don’t really make use of it since most my nightly...
