About this business

With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw — they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long.

Before watching a movie, my friend invited me to try Dave's Hot Chicken in Mira Mesa. The place is unique, not very big pace but it has spacious tables and chairs outside.

I got the tender and slider with fries, which were delicious! I loved that you can choose the spice level for the chicken, I went with mild.

Not only is the food delicious, the staff is super friendly, honest and trustworthy. My daughter left her purse at this location and two weeks later when we came looking for it, Aziz was holding it in the back and returned it to us with everything still in it! My daughter was sooo happy to have it back. Thank you!

*This is an updated review, not influenced, I paid for the whole meal myself (like I do in every review, but I wanted to make it clear since I gave a terrible review last time & the manager reached out to me, but I just ignored them)* I returned for a second try of Dave's. I was in the neighborhood after getting my flu shot at CVS, and I thought I deserved a savory treat. Taste-wise, there is a clear improvement in flavor since the last time I visited.
