Succulent Mexican-inspired chicken is the spotlight at Fresa's Chicken. Fresa means 'strawberry' in Spanish, but it's also a cheeky slang for trendy Mexican urbanites. The name and concept came from a seasoned team of Austin restaurateurs: Larry McGuire and Tom Moorman from Lambert's, Perla's, and Elizabeth Street Café, and Tracy Overath and Margaret Vera from Stubb's. It was Vera's frequent visits to east Austin's Mexican chicken joints that served as Fresa's inspiration.

Unlike common supermarket rotisserie chicken, Fresa's is slow-grilled over hardwood charcoal to lock in robust flavors and juices, giving it a rich, deep smokiness and savory charred skin. Whole or half-chicken dinners are perfect for busy couples or families and come with rice, beans, grilled onions, jalapenos, salsa and tortillas. Complete meals are ready in minutes and served through one of Fresa's convenient drive-thru or take-out windows.

Almost everything at Fresa's is made in-house: from the salsas and tortillas, to the salads and desserts. Chickens are exclusively sourced from Peeler Farms in Floresville, Texas. Beverages are packed to go, including Mexican sodas, fresh fruit aguas frescas, and a variety of bottled beers and wine. Environmentally thoughtful, Fresa's prepares all orders with minimal packaging. Fresa's Chicken Al Carbon is open daily from 11am until 11pm.
