Famously crispy.
Slightly out of this world.

A small shop run with a lot of love.

E.T. Tea & Popcorn Chicken started as Grace's quiet little corner of Mesa — a place to bring the boba and Taiwanese popcorn chicken she grew up with into a neighborhood that felt like home.

The aliens? They started as a joke. Then a customer drew one. Then another. Now the walls are covered floor-to-ceiling in alien art from every guest who's ever stopped in — kids, first-daters, regulars on lunch break. We hand you a marker. You leave a little of yourself behind.

We make the brown sugar in-house. We use organic milk. We fry the chicken to order. And if Grace catches you looking at the wall, she might just bring you a plate of gyoza on the house.
