Looks good on yelp. Always has a good lunch crowd but never stopped in. Remind me of the place on breaking bad

Why would that remind you of a car wash?

Los Pollos Hermanos

It's some damned good fried chicken if you ask me. They don't have biscuits though. you either get tortilla or dinner roll.

It's a huge taste-of-home thing for central American transplants...chain started in Guatemala & there are more than 350 worldwide. Sort of how people from greater NOLA feel about Popeyes.
The fried chicken is okay, I prefer more spice and a different crust...but the yuca fries are dense deliciousness. Kenner location (shared w/a laundromat) just got a renovation. Haven't been there in a while, but it felt like Guate up in that place: tiny little mayan grandma was wandering from table to table, selling homemade sweets to the patrons.

That’s what I thought. Looks delicious but infested with illegals

Seriously? Greater NOLA has thousands and thousands of quite legal people of honduran and guatemalan descent, thanks in part to the historic connections with United Fruit.
People hated the Irish, the Italians, the newly freed formerly enslaved, the displaced refugees from WWII, the Cubans after Castro, etc. If you've got hate in your heart, you'll find a place to dump it, I guess.

Really good fried chicken, plantains and yuca fries are good, black beans aren’t bad but not best I’ve ever had. Crust on the chicken is very good, but different than Popeyes and other more southeastern US inspired fried chicken places.

I liked it. Different spices baked in. Its the KFC of Venezuela. When a new store opens, fans will line up around the block.

Did you set this whole thread up just so you could later make a racist comment?
Posted on 8/15/18 at 5:39 pm to Dale Doubak
Only had it once and found it very greasy. It has a good rep though, so I may have just got a bad batch. My parents live in Kenna and eat it often.

Not at all it was a serious thread. But I don’t want to enjoy a meal and be bothered by someone selling sweets like OP said
Posted on 8/15/18 at 8:32 pm to Dale Doubak
Bothered by a sweet little old lady? You just say, non, gracias, if you don’t want to buy abuelita’s cocadas like a civilized person who shows respect for the elderly and it’s all good. Why is an old lady practicing unregulated free enterprise so deeply offensive to you? Props to her for making things and selling them, a fine American tradition.
ETA I also buy from lemonade stands, kids selling water out of coolers outside JazzFest, random praline vendors, the pie man, the muffin lady who sometimes wanders thru my office, and the unlabeled but obviously homemade pies sold by the cash register at my nearest gas station. I’m a food libertarian and respect food free enterprise as the oldest (second oldest? Lol) form of commerce. Selling food is a time honored way of immigrants climbing into the middle class. Hustlers and strivers make our nation great.

You’re not getting out of your comment. It was bad. Your true colors?

I’m not trying to get out of the comment. I don’t like illegal immigrants that’s it.

Go to the OT board.

How could you possibly know that?
I'll answer. You don't. It's not possible.

Yeah, its exactly like Los Pollos Hermanos. I had it when it first opened a while ago. It was good then. Not sure if its gone downhill or not.

I’ve eaten at one in Houston and it was pretty damn tasty
