Pollo Shaddai — Restaurant in Fairfield

Started with pupusas appetizer (1 bean and cheese and 1 cheese, bean, pork). It was good, preferred the bean and cheese.

Ordered the Empanadas entree, very good, needs sauce/salsa in my opinion, though. With the creamy sauce from shaddai it was excellent.

Ordered super shaddai (4 piece fried chicken) with prepared fries (fries with sauces) and both charro and black beans. Also ordered the Russian salad (carrots either dressing).

The chicken was perfectly tender and seasoned amazingly, the Russian salad (potato) is a new favorite thing of mine, and the red sauce was like Thanksgiving gravy. This place needs some business though. It is in a tough location though (formerly Buffalo Joe's which was great and closed down). The sever was rather bad and knew nothing about the menu (he said the Russian salad might be like ice cream). The multi appetizer wasn't great and didn't really match the menu. But I'm still giving it 5 stars! Oh I almost forgot, the green sauce that came with the street tacos was...

The food is absolutely delicious!!!! The pollo shaddai is unique, nothing like I have ever tried in other restaurants…perfecly seasoned, crispy, juicy and full of flavor, every bite was seasoned well.
