Got a hankering for biscuits and crispy fried chicken?

Popeyes opened April 11 in Mission Viejo, the first for South County comfort food fans. The restaurant at 23462 Los Alisos Blvd. is hiring. If you’re interested, call the jobs hotline at 818-472-9977.

The Louisiana-based chain is known for its biscuit-and-chicken combos, red beans and rice, jambalaya and mashed potatoes.

Yelp reviewers have noted the new location has been popular with lines out the door.

“Stopped in to try the faire (sic) offered by Popeyes along with a huge steady crowd of customers,” wrote John R. of Mission Viejo. “Of course it’s very popular and new in town. The parking is very limited and the drive-thru just as crazy.”

The chain was bought in 2017 by Restaurant Brands International Inc. for about $1.8 billion. Popeyes has more than 2,600 restaurants worldwide, most of them franchise-owned.

The city has seen a string of new restaurants open in recent weeks:

Panini Kabob Grill opened at Kaleidoscope on April 7

Epic Wings, a San Diego-based restaurant chain, has crossed the county line into Orange County

Cava, a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, opened in late March

Habit Burger Grill opening in Mission Viejo on April 25
