The young man who serviced me in the drive thru window treated me like I was getting on his nerves. The rice and chicken was burnt and the lettuce from my salad was wilted. Will not go back there!

I love El Pollo Loco but my avocados were mushy. I think the bought product should look EXACTLY as the advertisement photo.

Usually like el pollo loco but first time at this location and they didn't heat up my quesadilla or BRC. The birra quesadilla is $10 and they barely but anything inside it just lots of onions and legit a chunk of avocado in one corner....Read More

I normally don’t complain about waiting for my food, but this experience was ridiculous. My order was said to be ready at 1:30, got to the restaurant at 1:40, and proceeded to wait almost another 40 for my food to be ready. If there was...Read More

Horrible place to eat. I received my order cold plus old food. Plus don't read notes. I am allergic to the Sauce. In the options you had choices. I request Ranch Dressing. Everytime I also order the taste due to old food is horrible....Read More

3 stars due to avocado bacon salad only containing half a slice of crumbled bacon. It's actually pretty sad. To El Pollo Loco management, let's try and be more generous with the bacon. The rest is pretty OK. Most staff members do not speak English,...Read More

Everything was very good, except the Mac and cheese . It tasted like it was just melted cheese and chewed pasta. And the bag of chips provided, seemed like they ran out . It was like less than 10 chips. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Beware quality of food is horrible. I’ve tried this location three times each time it looks like they don’t know how to put the meals together as what is described and what is Consistent at other locations. Tostada salads were only halfway full and sloppy compared...Read More

Today's my first time trying El Pollo Loco and the experience was actually very positive! We ordered the double chicken bowl and it's so good, with a large portion of moist chicken meat and the tasty fresh cilantro sauce. Overall, to me it's a great...Read More
