El Pollo Loco was excellent last night. The chicken,rice,tortillas, and the Mac and cheese where all piping hot and fresh. The staff greeted us when we came through the door. I'll definitely be back to this location. 10++ rating from me.

Always come here. Although the accuracy of orders from the drive thru aren’t always great. So we come inside to order. But the staff is very nice, food always comes out on time, and the place is clean too.

Drive thru always goes quickly. Friendly employees. I usually get their Pollo bowl which comes with a drink and chips and it's only $6. Its fresh and healthy, you can't beat that!

Consistently good(not great) food. Needs a better choice of fresh salsa. The house salsa is terrible.!! No flavor, no spice? I know I'm not the only one saying this? The best commercials!

We found a 6 week old baby kitten in the parking lot. He was all by himself & scared to death. We took him home overnight so he wouldn't get hit by a car or hurt any further. Then this morning took him to Escondido...Read More

The staff listened very well, I hate burnt chicken and they gave me the juiciest fresh grilled chicken dark meat. This branch has turned for the better if not best.
