Saucy Chick Goat Mafia: A Fusion of Indian and Mexican Cuisine in Pasadena, CA

Wow. I got two outstanding tacos (birria and asada) and…mind blown. An amazing fusion that tastes incredible. And the sauce on the side is smoky and hot and delicious. Go now.

I've visited Pasadena a few times and I think this place is going to be a staple part of every trip of me. Its so good! The perfect amount of spicy and lots of savory flavor. I did forget to mention I have cilantro soap gene, but there wasn't too much cilantro so it didn't ruin the experience. Love the Pibil Chicken Burrito. If I was local I'd be coming here all the time, and probably buying their sauce sampler, too. Also, we go to sample their ginger jamaica since they had just a little left, and it's excellent. Would absolutely be drinking that if they had enough for a full cup.

If you’re out here and wondering if you need to try the Indian Mexican fusion happening here. Stop wondering and just try it. You’ll want to come back for more. And there are plenty of options for multiple visits. We just went with tacos this time around. But we will be back for other types and rotisserie chicken looks insanely good. Our stomachs just weren’t big enough!

Awesome spot. Amazing owners. Tasty food. Cannot say enough about the experience. The two cuisines come together in a beautiful way. Parking can be a little tricky; but it could have been because of the event. Live music and henna artist. Tortilla home made and in house. You can taste the family/culture in the food. The owners were very hands on; checked on us and ensured the experience was lovely. Cool outdoor space to eat. The shopping center neighbors are a bit different, and the parking lot can attract some activity. Highly recommend the ambli roasted chicken.

Really great local spot for delicious fusion food! Both the service and food were great. We got the Indian-forward rotisserie chicken (I forgot what it was called, but that was the description on the menu), and a lamb slider. When we asked the there for his recs for sides, he recommended the corn and the beans, and both were excellent. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, and a parking lot.

There is a reason this place is recommended on so many restaurant lists. The rotisserie chicken is both unique and delicious. They have 3 main flavors, and they are all great. The sides and tacos are also very satisfying, especially the goat taco which was super flavorful and juicy. The owner is super friendly and the interior is very clean with both indoor and outdoor seating.

This place was so good!! I ordered one taco with a more Mexican sounding flavor and one with a more Indian sounding flavor, and they were both delicious!! The Indian one was my favorite, though. Prices were good, and having two tacos was a good deal for a lunch. I would go back here again!

I’m so glad I ventured outside of Old Town to try this Mex/Indian fusion place. Came with a big group so got a try a lot of dishes. Every dish is a fusion of both cuisines, some a bit more Indian and some a bit more Mexican. All super tasty. Of the dishes we tried: Masala birria bowl - this may have been my fave, I think leaned more Mexican with hints of Indian spices. Def would get again Pibil Chick & Nachos - my fave of the two nachos we got. The perfect blend of both cuisines. Gets a little heavy after a while but still delicious and great to share. Jeera Chick Chaat-chos - vegetarian friendly option, tasty, solid. 1/2 Rotisserie meal - comes with two sides, succulent, flavorful chicken with plethora of sauces, and my favorite type of tortillas (think Sinaloa style) Fenugreek esquires - a fun twist on your usual street corn Mom’s beans and roasted cauliflower also were amazing. Portions are huge and come with lots of sauces and pickled things. Their chili oil was killer in the best way possible. Super friendly service. I think the owner was out cashier. Highly recommend this place if you’re in Pasadena and love food
