Charo Chicken

Food is hand slaughtered Zabihah. Very good and reasonably priced. Great customer service and very helpful

Food was reasonably priced. Clean atmosphere. Bathroom has "lota." Smells so wonderful. Has halal sign with tizkiya out front. Everything is halal. Will definitely come back.

Food was at a good price! Food is clearly stated as Zabiha (with tizkiya) on the menu I enjoyed it and would definitely go back for more.

This was an excellent excellent place. Menu is clearly marked zabihah halal and yes they do have a 'lota' in the bathroom.

You must order the Papa charo chicken! Soo good! This place is very clean and very, very tasty. The owner greeted us in Urdu, the staff was very friendly, and there's a lota in the bathroom. Love it. We found this place from this app, while visiting LA with friends, and are very happy we came. We ordered the papa charo chicken with lemon garlic sauce, charo chicken burrito, steak burrito, and steak tostada. The chicken was ridiculously good. Papa charo lemon garlic chicken has this amazing sauce, we were wracking our brains trying to figure out which masalay they used. It's spicy, garlicky, and lemony all at the same time. Charo chicken burrito was also tasty. Steak was comparatively less flavorful and more standard. But man we enjoyed the chicken. They make a lot of the sides and ingredients from scratch, including the rice, beans, and the hand smashed fries. The owner also gave us a place to pray in the back of the kitchen. Btw the kitchen was impressively clean. We would definitely come again, loved the friendly staff and the delicious food.

Average nothing special had the burrito and chicken as well. Food was average. Mexican food that I really did enjoy was the Baja Fresh in OC.

Refreshing menu of halal Mexican food. This is a chain restaurant and only this location serves halal food. I would visit again for the burritos.

I like this place, they are nice and the food is zabiha halal however lately the chicken they serve became dry and served in very very small pieces , i hope that the owner read this and fix the problem just because we wish the best for him and want to go there again and again.

Nice to find a halal authentic Mexican restaurant. I asked the customer service person for the halal authenticity for double checking as it was not written on the main door. I hope they have more branches. It requires a little bit more cleanliness though. Customer Service was really nice. Will definitely return InshAllah.

Loved the food and customer service. I would recommend this fast food to everyone I know...

I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in search of fresh Halal Mexican fast food. The staff was very friendly and service was great. It's a casual atmosphere and small restaurant somewhat near the corner of a main street in a shopping center. The menu has so many options as everything is Halal. I ordered nachos with steak and it was huge! It was so delicious! I also ordered chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The chicken was very fresh. I will definitely return here soon so I can try other food on the menu. Everything looked mouth watering! So delicious!

Love this place. Excellent food and great staff. Every time we go the service is impeccable. The Mama/Papa Charo spicy style is excellent.

Great place to enjoy el pollo loco style chicken. Just done like the butter they poor! So ask without butter

Very welcoming. Love the spicy chicken bowl.

Great place to eat. We love it. Almost like pollo loco but better. I enjoy eating here with family.

One of my favorite places when looking for fast food style food. Place is clean and well kept. Owner is nice and freindly. menu consists of chicken sanwhich, burritoes and grilled chicken. The grilled chicken is similar to El Pollo Loco in style but ask for it spicy.

Spicy chicken sandwich is good with some other halal Mexican food. place is clean with excellent customer service. Faisal

Assalamu alaikum brothers I highly recommend this place to all! The guacamole chicken sandwich is amazing. I would also like to add that the special spicy salsa ( which is available upon request) is perfect for satisfying any spicy lovers craving. I would also like to clear the fact that this place is completely halal. There is no separate menu! They only carry halal chicken! Please go try Charo chicken and i can assure you and you're family will love it.

Assalamu alaikum, I'm writing this review from the restaurant, im from las Vegas I was looking for a 100% halal meat restaurant. I never heard of a mexican restaurant with hala meat so I went check it out. the family who took over are Muslims the food was unbelievable. I will be coming here everytime I'm in the long beach/Lakewood area. Just an unbelievable food my brother Yusuf loved it too! I recommend checkin this place out if your in the area( and even if you are not).

As Salam U Alikum, If everything is halal then why cashier gives halal menu which has higher price then regular menu! I would like to know if everything is halal? Or partial halal!

Loved this place. Excellent Mexican fast food. Everything is halal so we can eat without fear. I liked their BBQ burrito and off course the fire grilled chicken. It is hard to find a franchised restaurant that is halal. The owner is a good practicing Muslim. I have seen him in Lakewood mosque mostly.

First zabiha halal Mexican restaurant , good food , BBQ chicken quasaddia and Charo burritos is a best , first time there love it .

I have been here a few times already and the food is great. You have to ask for the halal option when ordering. They have everything from burritos to tacos to fire grilled chicken. You could also get the halal steak option for your burritos, tacos, etc. I don't think there's a halal Mexican restaurant in Southern California. So when you are craving El Pollo Loco style chicken, this is the place to go since there's no halal El Pollo Loco!

One of my best experience, the taste of the chicken is one of a kind delicious juicy very flavorful can’t compare to any other flavor or chicken restaurant. I’ll drive miles to get it at any time you won’t be disappointed. The sizes are totally delicious and fresh.

Charo Chicken serves amazing halal Mexican food! The steak burrito is delicious, the loaded nachos are great, and the chicken is high quality and authentic. The service is excellent, and Mr. Muntazir, the owner, is a fantastic host. I highly recommend it to Mexican food lovers, especially those seeking halal options near Long Beach Airport.
