For flame-broiled chicken near Otay Ranch Town Center, El Pollo Grill's Birch Road location in eastern Chula Vista extends the Lopez family's 1987 recipe to the Eastlake corridor. The catering operation serves corporate lunches and weekend parties with multi-pound chicken and carnitas packages, and the same event circuit that books Mariachi Continental de San Diego for quinceañeras and wedding receptions. A patio with outdoor seating faces Birch Road, and the menu adds breakfast burritos, tortas, enchilada plates, and a tostada bar alongside the core flame-broiled chicken program. The Otay Ranch location also stocks the full salsa bar and charro beans recipe from the original Bonita kitchen, maintaining consistency across the brand alongside the Zappy Pizza and chain dining options that anchor this stretch of eastern Chula Vista. Technicians on the open-flame pit rotate each marinated bird every fifteen minutes across a ninety-minute cook cycle, using mesquite-adjacent hardwood briquettes that reach sustained temperatures above 500°F for the signature char.
