Restaurant Week: Loaded Chickn
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link
It's Restaurant Week in Vallejo!Restaurant week in Vallejo is a time to explore the amazing eateries our city has to offer. This week, my choice was Loaded Chickn, a food truck regularly parked at 1701 Springs Road. Even though the area has ample private parking, I decided not to take my chances with Mother Nature and get caught in the rain and placed an order on DoorDash. With a 4.7 rating on Google and a huge social media following I felt optimistic about my lunch. As the sky grew darker and rain began to fall, my doorbell rang.
Buy One, Get One Double Sandwich Combo and So Much More!
Loaded Chickn’s restaurant week special offers a buy one, get one, double sandwich combo with a lot of freebies (details below) but I opted for the two most popular items on the DoorDash menu: the chicken tenders and Loaded Fries.
I invited a chicken tender connoisseur to help with this one – my fifteen-year-old grandson, Julian. With a healthy dose of teenage skepticism, he tried the tenders. I'll be honest, Julian wasn't thrilled that his order consisted of just three tenders until he lifted the top on the box and eyed the massive perfectly cooked strips that lay before him.
These crispy, crunchy strips had just enough spice to keep things exciting, yet mellow enough for those who want less zest. The chicken came with a side of crinkle fries sprinkled with Cajun seasoning. Julian isn’t really a fry guy but said they were pretty decent. Which I will assume is Gen Z for really tasty. As for the chicken, he had this to say:
“They're really juicy and crispy,” Julian said. “I like that.” He finished his second tender and compared the flavor and texture of the strips to those he had tried at a fancy Walnut Creek restaurant but after polishing off the last strip, he declared, “These are better.” When I asked if he would order these again, he gave a thumbs up. Loaded Chickn's chicken tenders are Julian approved.
Now it was my turn. I was intimidated by the massive amount of chicken piled on top of a bed of shredded lettuce, but I knew somewhere beneath all of that meaty goodness were fries. This wasn't just lunch, it was an adventure. Every bite led to a new flavor combination of spicy chicken, lettuce, potato, and sauce. I can't forget to mention the sauce. The chipotle aïoli is the perfect blend of creamy and smokey. It brought all of the flavors together in perfect harmony. As someone who has enjoyed many fries, I can say these were pretty decent or as someone of my generation would say, “These fries are totally awesome!”
Long gone are the food trucks offering premade sandwiches and coffee. In today's world, food trucks are 5-star restaurants on wheels. So much so, that they have a fanbase that will literally track them down! Loaded Chickn is no exception. With over 20,000 followers on Instagram, I can see why they are a town favorite.

FROM THE OFFICE OF GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Wednesday, January 18, 2023
Governor's Press Office: (916) 445-4571Businesses Impacted by Storms Now Eligible for Emergency Tax Relief
SACRAMENTO – Business owners and taxpayers impacted by California’s winter storms are now eligible for emergency tax relief from late payment interest and penalties.
“California is moving with the urgency this moment demands, rapidly bringing support to Californians recovering from the devastating impact of the recent storms,” said Governor Gavin Newsom. “Business owners across the state can now access much-needed assistance to help accelerate their recovery efforts, including relief from interest and penalties.”
Impacts of the storms have been felt throughout the state, and small business owners who have been affected by flooding, power outages, and other storm-related hardships may request up to an additional three months to file their tax returns. Taxpayers who face return deadlines between January 4, 2023, and January 31, 2023, who are granted relief will not have to pay interest and penalties if they are unable to file their returns and pay taxes and fees by the original due date.
“Help is available for California businesses,” California Department of Tax and Fee Administration Director Nick Maduros said. “If you cannot file or make a payment on time because of the storms, please reach out to us, and we can offer some relief.”
Impacted taxpayers can request relief:
- On the CDTFA website
- By mail at California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, PO Box 942879, MIC 35, Sacramento, CA 94279
- In person at one of our field offices
- By phone at 1-800-400-7115 (CRS:711), Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Pacific Time), except state holidays.
Customers can also contact CDTFA to update account information, change an address or contact information, request replacement copies of CDTFA tax records, or ask questions about their account.
In addition to our State of Emergency Tax Relief webpage, information regarding relief requests is available in various languages online, via videos in English and Spanish, and on CDTFA’s Online Services webpage.
