The chicken sandwich is a revelation! I swear, I dont know if a tastier, flakier, more satisfying fried chicken breast is even possible, let alone on Central Ave. in Albuquerque. Do yourself a favor. Come in, order a meal (with extra coleslaw), sit down, shut up, and hold on to your butt. Because it's about to be kicked. With flavor!
So, so good. The chicken skin is so perfect it's a thing of beauty. And the clucking hot sauce is wonderfully balanced with a just right level of heat. Can't wait to have it again!
I ordered the chicken wings yesterday and OMG they were so friggin good. The seasonings and spices were incredible. Kudos Happy Chickenzz!
Damon is the best! Love the awesome customer service. I am one Happy Hen!
This chicken is awesome!! The sauces are incredible. Beer garden opens Wednesday. This could be my nightly stop off on the way home. Excellent!!
Try the Laos/Thai. It was amazing good.
I had the good fortune of staying at this hotel in summer 2023 and meeting the team at Happy Chickenzz. Great staff and great place. If you're in the neighborhood, cruising route 66, stop by! Also, the nearby bagel spot is amazing as well!
Just ate here with the family. The wings were great. They have seven or eight different flavors to choose from. The patio was really kicking around happy hour. They really know how to find the right combination between sauce and chicken so the wings are not drenched in sauce. If you want great home style cooked wings, this is your place.
Time to be a Daren!!! Awe man I’d love to give this place 5 stars but I just can’t. The Diablo sandwich! Wow what can I say, it was like biting into a clove of garlic each and every 3 bites I took. When I returned it and explained to them what my concerns were I got smirks and side eyes. It’s all good though. The buffalo sandwich was on point. Maybe extreme garlic amounts in the hot sauce makes the spice hotter? Yuck! Idk! But thanks for exchanging it out for me! I’ll definitely come back for that Buffalo sandwich.
Pretty darn tasty tenders. Don't expect tenders breaded like KFC. It is a light flavorful breading that is just perfect for dipping in their varied sauces. At least that is how I ordered mine. Naked with dipping sauces. Next time I might order them tossed.
Fresh fries and a hot fried chicken sandwich with some Diablo sauce on the side.And a brew from the Taproom all brought together at the El Vado shopping area.
Albuquerque is becoming quite the spot for fried chicken! This spot was great for less traditional fried chicken flavors. We loved it! Breast fillers were super tender and moist and the chicken pot stickers were excellent! We will be back to continue to work through the menu offerings! Well done!
Amazing wings. Cooked perfectly. Not greasy at all.
Hands down the best chicken sandwich in town. A perfect blend of sweet and spicy sauce brings it together like no ne else. The tofu is fried perfectly, my paired choice is a salad with the garlice ginger sauce. We will be coming back again and again. Keep up the great work!
Great food, good size portions and excellent service. I had the Diablo chicken sandwich, breading was maybe the best I've had, topped with flavorful, spicy sauces. We also ordered Aden's Truth (chicken and rice type bowl), great flavor and fresh ingredients. Seating is limited but there is plenty of outdoor seating and they will deliver your order to the taproom across the patio.
Well worth it. Easy, bountiful flavors, and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.
Had the Best experience here was so modern yet captured the heart of are city all in one. Pet friendly, The Chicken Wings are seasoned to perfection my favorite were the garlic soy and the place is live.
Our son had a wedding in Albuquerque. We had over 40 family and friends stay at the El Vado. Tony with Happy Chickenzz catered a breakfast for us. Not only was the food delicious but the service and staff were great to work with. Very friendly and accommodating. We have young family members with food allergies and they made sure everyone had something to eat. Thank you Tony for taking care of our family and friends. Highly recommend trying out their restaurant at the El Vado. Great food!
Place has a chill vibe, not very big inside but nice patio seating. The menu is minimal with about 6 sauce flavors to choose from, a few sides, and a few other selections. Sauce choices are all similar. Wings themselves are a good size, nice and crispy but not very saucy. I prefer mine with a little more sauce. Flavors we tried were garlic soy, ginger soy, and thai hot. Both sauces with garlic had similar flavors, thai hot was extra spicy with a good flavor. Great for that chile high, be careful it creeps on you. Ordered fries and okra, nice big portions of both. Prices are comparable with an 18pc wing running $18.99. Its nice to order your food, chill by the fountain, and order a beer from the tap room.
OMG!!! The most amazing food. My wife had the salad and I had the bowl. Tasty, filling and reasonably priced. Very glad we took the time to find it.
Great Chicken! I love the Cluckin Hot Chicken Wings! I eat here about once a week and everytime I am served my wings a near by table asks me about the food. Amazing flavor, juicy, and hot, all the food here is amazing. A must try.
