★★★★★ 5.0 Food of CT · Dec 2024

My husband and I came in for lunch on a weekend, and we were super impressed! We had them once before at a friend's house as takeout and remember it being good, but this was even better than we remembered. The chicken was flavorful and fresh, with great sauces and delicious ways to enjoy it. Tacos, salad, and rice bowl were all delicious, but the nachos were definitely one of the show stoppers for us. I think I'll be dreaming about it! Couldn't have asked for a better meal, and the staff were friendly and helpful with menu suggestions. We will absolutely be back!

One of the best places for inspired chicken meals! Large portions, fast preperation and very high quality. This isn't a fast food chain, but the food comes out quickly and this isn't premade off the Sysco truck. This is real food and the people are delightful!

So, this has honestly been the best chicken we have had since we were in Peru. Everything delicious, and employees are awesome! Even with our crazy kid. This is an absolute must!

Wow wow wow Full transparency, at first glance the prices kind of caught my eye. Nothing crazy but more than a trip to Taco Bell. But then we opened our boxes and BOOM, worth it!! And then the first bites and we’ve been sold for life (Taco Bell who?) The portions are beyond expectation so you get your moneys worth hands down. Presentation is amazing. Flavor is incredible. There’s some sort of lemon pop to the sweet potato wedges that just works so well. We will be back !!!

★★★★☆ 4.0 The Terpatraiters · Mar 2023

So where EPG executes well is in vibe and fittin with their space... rotisserie chicken w/a latin flair. The whole chain is lively and inviting right when you walk and and you are met w/a large colorful menu that has an great mix of options to choose from. The servers are very friendly and are quick to give you a run down of their offerings. Sooo many things sound great and we ended up grabbing a chicken dinner and a taco comb... The mains here are pretty legit...the rotisserie chicken has a great flavor and the birds are a nice sice. They run a touch dry but you can choose from an array of side dips to add extra punch to your meal you cluckers (some sweet, some spicy, all pretty salty) . The tacos are fairly large w/ chunks of rotisserie chicken bustin thru there. One was better than t
