Fresh, Homemade, Two Ways

Chicken y Carnitas Guerrero was built around a simple idea: do two things with total dedication to Mexican tradition. We've never wavered from that. Our chicken is the heart of it all. Marinated and cooked fresh every day, it comes out juicy, smoky, and full of flavor in every bite. It's the dish our regulars come back for, and the one we're proudest to put on your plate. Nothing here is frozen or shortcut. We make our food the homemade way, from scratch, the same way it's been done in kitchens across Mexico for generations. Fresh ingredients, real recipes, and time-honored care go into everything we serve. Whether it's the chicken or the carnitas, you're getting food made with pride and served with heart. Come taste the difference that fresh and homemade makes.

Is anything better than rice, beans, and chicken? True comfort food for the body and soul. If you like pollo loco, come here instead. It's incredible!

I stop by for an order to take home at least once a week... Besides it's convenient location. Chicken GUERRERO has the most delicious char-grilled chicken 😋 & homemade tortillas... with very friendly staff and a clean establishment.
