Dino’s Chicken and Burgers, located on Alondra and Bellflower Boulevard, has a full menu, but only a racy joke from comedian Dave Chappelle can truly tell you what to order – the chicken!

Drenched in a taste-bud tingling, Cajun-like sauce and complimented with a plate of French fries, the chicken plate is the establishment’s signature dish.

The sensational taste of lemon, chili and countless other spices give this red-orange flesh-colored bird a taste that can be matched by no other.

Add in a side of tortillas and a drink to complement your meal, mine being Horchata, and you have a meal fit for the God of Gods, Zeus, himself.

Based on an old Greek recipe created by the owner, Demetrios Pantazis, the meal focuses on a bird officially called, “El Pollo Maniaco”, translated to English as “The Crazy Chicken.”

The immediate moistness of the fries, and the chicken, which absolutely falls right off the bone, sends the eater into an abyss of all that is amazing food.

This home-made recipe simply can not be beat.

Despite being on a little on the high set, six dollars for a plate, the chicken blows every “pollo” from KFC, Church’s, and Popeye’s, out of the water, onto land and back into the water just to be blown out again.

Top it with a staff that is extremely customer friendly, and you’ve got one of the top spots to eat in the area.

And if you aren’t in the area, Dino’s has four other locations including Los Angeles, Pomona, Azusa and Pico Rivera.
