“My experience here in El Paso is that I have always believed that we love spicy food like this, and the community always responds great to businesses like these, so I know they will enjoy the experience as well as the friendly service,” said Jorge Frasto, Director of Operations for Dave’s Hot Chicken in El Paso & New Mexico.
When the eastside location held a soft opening I had the chance to check it out — and let me tell you, the hype is real!
My son, who has been following Dave’s Hot Chicken on social media for months, was thrilled about the news of not one but two locations opening in El Paso. We couldn’t wait to taste what everyone had been raving about.
What’s All the Hype About?
The second you sink your teeth into their delicious chicken strips or sliders, you’ll understand why this chain has such a huge social media following.
Dave’s Hot Chicken is famous for its deep-fried chicken, coated with spices that deliver a powerful, spicy kick. “It’s a whole experience,” said Frasto. “If you’ve ever tried Nashville hot chicken, this would be one of the best versions of that. It’s full of flavor, and it’s a whole experience.”
We ordered a variety of items to sample the menu, and the hot and extra hot flavors did not disappoint — they delivered a bold kick that left our taste buds tingling.
The menu offers meals, family or group packs, side orders, and even some delicious fully loaded milkshakes for a sweet balance to the spice.
Dave’s Hot Chicken: The Story Behind It All
According to the restaurant’s website, three childhood friends in their 20s scraped together $900 to launch their business in 2017 in a parking lot in East Hollywood, using folding tables and a portable fryer.
The buzz started with social media and word of mouth, and soon, locals lined up to taste what the fuss was about. A glowing review from EATER/LA put them on the map, calling Dave’s Hot Chicken a mind-blowing experience. From there, the lines only grew longer.
A Warm Welcome to El Paso
The best part of my visit to Dave’s Hot Chicken was the friendly staff. Despite the bustling crowd and long lines, the team greeted everyone with a smile and eagerly served up orders. They even gave me a pro tip: mix the Dave’s Hot Chicken Sauce with the honey packet for an unforgettable flavor combo on your slider.
With the far west location on the way, El Pasoans now have double the opportunity to experience the heat and hospitality of Dave’s Hot Chicken. According to Dave’s Hot Chicken’s Instagram page, the new west El Paso location, 7729 Paseo Del Norte Blvd. is set to open Friday, January 24th:
