Rolled on this small funky joint yesterday afternoon. Placed a to-go order for the Grilled Chicken Special which came with a couple of sides and tortillas... for $10 and change. \n\nBack at the hotel in under five minutes, Beans and tortillas were already cold. It was 107 in Scottsdale last afternoon.\n\nChicken itself has an odd flavor and very different than say a El Pollo Loco-type seasoning. Believe that Yelper Iris below nailed it perfectly by calling out the seasoning and you could really pick up the MSG taste. Secondly the chicken they use are what you might call scrawny. Not a lot of meat on these dudes. Lastly, they mix some type of mystery wood with charcoal mesquite... the stack way out back almost looked like eucalyptus. Mesquite burns way too hot and overpowers chicken with it's very strong flavor. Found this bird average to slightly below par. \n\nRest of the place is rather cramped and they do serve many other items like tortas etc. More than a little dirty inside which is cool in Old Mexico... not so much here.\n\nWorth a try because it's funky in trendy Scottsdale, but I will not be coming back.
