The Customer Chooses Us!! A representative cross-section of Dodo’s Chicken’s clientele indicated that their main reason for visiting this location regularly was that “they felt they were eating at home.” Regardless of nationality, the Hispanic community identifies with the flavor of this restaurant which, for over 32 years of operation, has earned the trust and acceptance of the discerning consumers of the beautiful city of Houston. Strategically located on a corner of Richmond Avenue, this restaurant has established itself as one of the most frequented in the area—not only by Latin American consumers, but also by the Anglo-Saxon clientele who are drawn in by the flavor of charcoal-grilled chicken and other delicacies of Hispanic cuisine. A distinguished Colombian professional, Engineer Iván Cataño, launched this project with the idea of contributing his grain of sand to the progress of this country. Together with his siblings Alberto, Jaime, and Sara, they have positioned Dodo’s Chicken as a customer favorite for over 32 years, carefully attending to all the individual details that have made this place a pleasant site where people gather to enjoy food. At Dodo’s, quality is key, with an exquisite Creole flavor—something like “our taste” combined with the American fast-food system. That’s how the idea was born to make this restaurant stand out from the typical places in the city: a practical way to meet nutritional needs with a wide variety of high-quality products and attentive service at a very competitive price. Dodo’s Chicken is where flavor lives… Dishes such as beans, tostones (fried green plantains), tajadas (ripe plantains), salted potatoes, vegetables, chicken soup, white rice, charcoal-grilled chicken, chicharrones, beef and chicken empanadas, rice pudding, tres leches cake, and cheese-stuffed arepas, among others, have placed Dodo’s Chicken at the forefront, making it a leader in this specific type of food establishment in the state of Texas. That is how most customers—coming from the many beautiful countries of Latin America, recall the flavor, seasoning, and loving care of their homelands. They also enjoy Caribbean music and, while chatting and sharing stories, savor dishes from native Latin American cuisine, feeling and eating as if they were at home.
