Such a local gem. Chicken grilled over an open flame with the best char unlike anything you can find anywhere else. They offer burritos, bowls, family meals, nachos, tacos, and even wings. The value is amazing with a chicken meal for two about $20. Comes with beans, rice, salsas, tortillas, and charred peppers and onions. The consistency here has been excellent since day one. Service is always quick and friendly. A few tables and bar seating inside but this food travels well so don't be afraid to get it to go and enjoy at home.

The chicken and salsas were so delicious, the smoky flavor! Yum! The size of the asada burrito was incredibly big and so good. Service was good and fast.

El Pollo Rey in Seaside is a hidden gem! The service is fast and genuinely friendly, making you feel right at home. Their menu offers a great selection, but the real star is the flame-broiled chicken--perfectly seasoned, incredibly fresh, and bursting with smoky, mouthwatering flavor. Every bite proves they know what they're doing. Highly recommended!

This is that type of little, off the beaten path type of place that is so satisfying to find. The chicken is deliciously moist and tender, and the beans are fantastic. Great family business you just feel good supporting . . . and it has great food too!
