Terri, I happen to love them. The first one inside the Perimeter is within walking distance of where I live, and I can't wait (it hasn't opened yet).

Their chicken marinated in garlic, citrus and spices and then flame grilled is to die for, and I love their salsa and sides. This is my 2nd favorite California import to hit town recently, along with Trader Joe's.

Mmmm...sounds good. I wonder if it's similar to the old Kenny Rogers Roasters restaurant. They had the best chicken and sweet corn muffins.

Not really anilyn, think more Mexican/Southwestern here (but I liked KR's too). The chicken is skinless and unbreaded, but cooked over an open flame so it's healthier.

They have a website where you can check out the menu............I'm hungry now!

We had them in Las Vegas, and I wasn't particularly impressed with their food- better than KFC, but that's not really saying much

I lived in CA so when I found out they were coming here I was elated. Best charbroiled chicken you'll ever eat. Thank goodness there are 2 not far from me. Now all ATL needs is a In and Out burger chain. The best and freshest burgers and fixins in a drive thru chain.

Went today and wasn't too impressed. The mild salsa is very hot. The chicken was dry. The BBQ black beans were like you would get at Dreamland or a BBQ place. The guacamole was salty. Pollo Tropical from Florida is much better.
