Hot Chickz Chicken Sandwiches has quickly captured the hearts (and taste buds) of San Diego residents since its opening. Located on Camino Del Rio N, this chicken restaurant offers a unique culinary experience that blends hearty flavors with a laid-back atmosphere. Customers rave about the juicy chicken tenders and sandwiches, available in varying spice levels—from mild to hot. Isaiah Vargas found the mild option to be a perfect introduction, while his wife enjoyed the heat of the hot chicken. The friendly staff only adds to the welcoming vibe, enhancing the overall dining experience.
A standout item from the menu is the Mac n Cheese fries, praised by Cero Grubs for their extraordinary flavor profile. The restaurant's combo meals come with crispy fries and choice sides, like Texas toast and corn, which perfectly complement the main dishes. My Le highlighted the impressive chicken size, which is both juicy and flavorful, and noted the appealing decor adorned with colorful murals.
The combination of excellent service, large portions, and a vibrant atmosphere make Hot Chickz a must-visit for anyone craving flavorful chicken. As Alina Duran rightly recommended, diving into their medium spice chicken sandwiches is an experience you shouldn’t miss!

I can’t really handle hot food but this place looked good online. I got the number 1 mild and it was pretty spicy for me. My wife loves hot food and got the hot and she said it was hot but not too hot. All in all we enjoyed it. Young lady at the front was friendly and held good conversation. Great food and good atmosphere.

We have been waiting for this for a few years now. Every time we drive by, it’s coming soon sign. Then it came down and then it’s back up. Finally, “now open” sign. It’s the same owner as Crack Taco which is also in the same plaza. The interior is simple with a colorful mural-like graffiti art. The owner said it’s the same material shrink wrap that they use on cars. Make sure you check out the art in the restroom too! As for the food, it’s either tenders or sandwich. Five menu items. Three levels of heat: mild, medium, hot. Four sauces: ranch, HC sauce, honey mustard, and heat. Seven side items and each of the five combo comes with fries already. We got #2 which is one sandwich and 1 tender hot level. Also got #4 that’s 2 chicken tender mild level. Both comes with fries. For sides, we ordered Texas toast, corn and Mac and cheese. It was a slice of small Texas toast that was garlic buttery soft and crispy crust. The corn was in a cup, similar to elote like the one you get at a crack taco. Except Crack Taco is on a cob. I’m not a fan of Mac and cheese but I like this one. It was on the light side and it wasn’t cheddar. Now let’s talk about the chicken! The tenders are as big as my hand! It’s so juicy! I got mild and I tried the hot, it wasn’t too spicy for me but made my face sweat so yes it had a kick. The flavors are awesome. A little bit of sweet and spice like paprika and/or chili powder. I love the crispy skin texture. Wet enjoyable and I see us visiting again. We prefer the tenders over the sandwich. It’s the same thing just with a bun. The HC sauce enhances the flavor. Plenty of parking in this plaza, next door to Tuesday morning. Oh, and they serve beer.

Never been here before but was not disappointed and I am glad I stopped. Grabbed 2 different flavors, Louisiana Buffalo & Orange delish. Louisiana Buffalo being the best in my opinion as it has some spice which I love.

Absolutely delicious! I orders the #3 which was recommended to me by the owners. It comes with two chicken sandwiches and a side of fries. I did order the chicken sandwich in the medium spice and it was perfect for me. The fries are coated with some spices, they are delicious and a MUST HAVE! We are overall very happy with the food! Great costumer service as well. I highly recommend this business.

We got the medium tenders and to be honest they weren't that spicy not sure if my tolerance is high but the chicken was very juicy tender cooked to perfection.. the seasoned fries were good I honestly can say that the combination of the Hc Sandwhich with the coleslaw and the sauce was so delicious. . The mac and cheese was cheesy and really good .They hooked it up with a lot of pickles....definitely want to go to check out the chicken and waffles and other items on the menu. Yeah the atmosphere was pretty cool they have tables outside and inside so you can enjoy your HC chicken. Service was no wait and the gentleman did a good job.

The coleslaw was the bomb! Very flavorful. The chicken was delicious and fresh. Fries were crispy and the dipping sauces are amazing. Clean place and plenty of space for guests. I’ll come back!

Idk if it's cause I just arrive when it's not busy, but pretty dead in here they get a lot of door dash and Postmates orders it seems like, food still gets out relatively quick. It ain't no Friendly smash burger but I make it a point to always get it when I'm here!
