    We ordered the whole chicken with the sides yellow rice and beans and fried plantains, and also the chicken burger. The chicken was very tender and meat falls off the bones. It's very well seasoned and the flavor is very unique. The yellow rice and beans combination is very good. I normally wouldn't eat both in one meal but this one has to be together! The fried plantains were so delicious I wish I had taken more to-go. And oh, whatever is in those green sauce, it's so good I wish they would sell bottles of it!!

    This place is a great find for sure! I'm all for supporting small local businesses and this is one that I'll be sure to come back to while we're still here in MD.

    I haven't tasted the chicken burger but my husband gobbled it all up so I say it's just as good.

    They give out such big servings too - yeah, they pretty much stuff the to-go boxes til it's tight to shut!

    This is small place with limited seating. The lady on the front greeted me very politely and the customer service was excellent. I got the half chicken with rice and plantains. The food taste was good. The sauces they gave were really good. Be careful the jalepeno sauce was too spicy.

    Great deal at this place! The chicken is tasty and delicious and it isn't dry at all. The sweet plantains were also fantastic. The chicken meals are a great deal and you really get a lot of good, quality food. Great option for college kids on a budget in the area

    Really excellent place tucked away in a shopping center! The chicken is so perfectly seasoned and charred, the rice is flavorful, and the plantains make a great treat when you're finished! So much food for such a reasonable price, I would 10/10 recommend eating here if you're visiting College Park!!!

    Absolutely excellent. Just chicken and a few sides. Nothing more, nothing less. The chicken is cooked to perfection. My favorite sides are yellow rice with beans,  and the onion salad.
