I have to say this is the BEST chicken I’ve had in my life. I first heard about this place from a plumber…yeah, a plumber! We were talking about food in Dallas and food in Southern California. Then somehow El Pollo Loco came up and he then mentioned Charo Chicken. He said he had it in Cali and saw one driving on his way here. The thing is that I’ve never heard of it even though I am from So. Cali. That’s because most of them were far from me.

So this location at Coit and Park just kept staring back at me everytime I past by it. Though I never had the chance to stop in and try it. Two days ago we were driving by and my husband mentioned Firehouse Sub right next door. So I told him he can go get something there while I hop over next door to Charo Chicken. Somehow he ended up eating at Charo Chicken also. He had the Chicken Quesadilla and I had the Mama Charo, which was basically 2 peice leg & thigh with a side of rice and grill vegetables. My food looked so good my husband said he wish he had what I was having. After having a few bite of the chicken, I’ve told him we’ve found our other kitchen (since we eat out more often now with two kids and all).

The chicken was really good in my opinion and the grill vegetable was tasty. I especially liked the skin. It wasn’t fatty looking. It looked more like the fat just all burned away and left a VERY thin crispy grill chicken skin. The seasoning was yumalicious and the meat was moist and not dry ( I hate eating dry chickent ).

So I hope this place stays around because it’s currently my favorite place to go and I’m so tired of eating everything else that I almost gave up on eating because I didn’t find anything I wanted to eat anymore. I’m also glad it’s from So. Cal !!

It’s funny because everytime I read about people from So. California living in Texas, it always comes down to missing In-N-Out! If you don’t know what that is, it’s a burger chain, but currently it’s only in Cali, Arizona, and Nevada. It’s the BEST burger and for the price, it’s even better than best.

The problem is “In-N-Out remains privately owned and the Snyder family has no plans to take the company public or franchise any units.” so arrgh, can someone just offer them LOTS of money to open one in Dallas???

At least I get to have a few when I visit L.A. but that’s only twice a year if I’m lucky. Do people really miss it?? oh yeeaaah, I do for sure. The closest thing in Dallas would be Kellers on Northwest Hwy, but they just don’t have the same taste and Kellers is a bit far from me right now. Even a burger at a nice restaurant that cost $7.99 isn’t as good as In-N-Out. I think it’s only $2.99 or $3.99, I forgot since the last time I had it was a little more than a year ago. Luckily I’ll get to have it again in a month and a half!!!

Arrghh, I’m hungry now.

I’m not sure why Tuesday is THE day, but I just noticed a couple of places that offers kids free meal on tuesdays. One being Central Market on Coit - they sometimes have some children entertainment provided by Team Family on Tuesdays from around 5-8pm as well. So far, seem like everytime we go, they are there. Oh yes, back to the free meal. They have free meal for kids on Tuesdays. The other place was Cafe Brazil which is almost right next door to Central Market. They have pretty decent food. Better than I expected, but I do always order the French Toast with Seasonal Fruit on top along with the Peach italian cream soda…yum yum…So, why Tuesdays??
