"To begin my visit, I chose to arrive just as the restaurant opened at 10 a.m. I got there a bit early and noticed the area outside. The smell of old grease hit me as I drove into the parking lot, which was concerning. At exactly 10 a.m., I walked up to the entrance and found an older man and an employee waiting outside. The manager, or franchise owner, eventually let us in about five minutes later. Regarding the most significant issue—rude staff—I believe they've made improvements. The manager who opened the door greeted me warmly, and the employee invited me to go in first. The woman at the counter who took my order was very friendly, and I noticed at least three people from the kitchen thanking me when I picked up my food. My experience with the staff was positive overall. Another frequently mentioned complaint was a terrible smell, reminiscent of sewage. To test this, I intentionally sat near the bathroom, and I didn't find any unpleasant odors inside. The only undesirable scent was the old grease, which was only noticeable outside. I even checked the salsa bar, and it smelled fresh. Regarding pricing, while many reviews suggested they charge more, I didn’t personally verify this. I spent $11.53 on five Tapatio wings and a drink. The overall decor was somewhat dated and could use some minor repairs, but I understand that maintaining a business in California is expensive, and many restaurants operate on slim profit margins. I wasn’t bothered by the condition; it felt acceptable. However, I did note that one of the two bathrooms was out of order, and the other was locked. As for my order, it was accurate. Considering I was one of only two customers, the chances for error were minimal. During busy times, mistakes can happen, as humans work in the kitchen. It’s also the responsibility of customers to check their orders—just like you would inspect a car before buying it, you should verify your meal! As for the loud noise mentioned in reviews, yes, there was a noticeable sound, but I likely wouldn't have paid attention to it if I hadn't read those negative comments prior to my visit. This isn’t a five-star restaurant; it’s a fast food place, aptly named "The Crazy Chicken," not "The Delicate Rooster." The service was not particularly fast, but it wasn’t slow either; it took about eight minutes for me to receive my order. The chicken was fresh and properly cooked, and I genuinely enjoyed it. The interior temperature was comfortable, and as someone who tends to feel warm easily, I appreciated that. While the establishment wasn’t spotless, overall, my visit was better than I expected."

The food was fresh and the portion sizes were generous. We thoroughly enjoyed the salads, burritos, chicken, and tacos – everything was delicious!

The food we got was awesome but they forgot our Chicken Taco al Carbon and Macaroni Cheese so even though our Double Chicken Tostada Salad apos;s were great we paid for more and didn apos;t get it.

The food was great, the restaurant itself was very hot, I think the AC was working, I visited a 100-degree weather day and I decided to dive. When I left the outside, it was cooler than in the restaurant. I hope the AC was fixed. View menu

They had the order ready quickly, and it was right, but I was never recognized by an employee, and the smell inside was abusive. The food was good for what it was, but I was a little bit more careful than normal when eating this time.

Very impress. Usually at other places the avocado burrito seems like smaller but here was at the perfect size. The taste was very good and the personal very friendly. I think the boss needs to give them a raise. ; #Fotorider #cesarsphotography#knightrider #KITT

I have to start by saying that the chicken nachos paired perfectly with the beer! The beans were especially delicious. As for the other items, they’re best saved for the next day. Unlike burgers, the rest of the food reheats really well, and I know that from past experience.

The below review is based on my opinions while visiting this business on 03/24/2022 at 12:10pm. This place is a complete madhouse. Got in here at 12:10pm. Finally got to place my order at 12:20pm. Got my food at 12:45pm. From what I saw they had 4employees working. Thank you for showing up to work. This review is not on the employees working there. The franchisee needs towork harder to find more employees to work here please. Customers were just standing everywhere waiting for the food. I wassurprised that they charged me $4 for for two small plastic packets of guacamole. Each packet probably has about two 1-1.5tablespoons of guacamole. By the time I got my food the ice in my drink was melte...
