El Pollo Loco

This place is on again, off again. Never know if they will have the food you want. In the past, they've run out of breast with a 20 to 30 minute wait. The lastest is the website says they have Barria tacos but no they don't. They come and go from the menu so its not dependable. The staff always has a distanced look on their faces. Mexican music is way, way too loud in the dining area to the point you can't have a conversation but I'm sure it can be heard in the kitchen.

The online menu does not match the in store options. The guacamole was not good (watery). They usually have good guacamole at El Pollo Loco so I was bummed to have paid extra for it.Dining area was not clean.

El Pollo Loco is a solid option. Their chicken is really tasty, and so is their avocado salsa. The rest of the food is pretty standard fare. Service has always been good at this location.As far as gluten options, I think it is pretty safe, though I can't remember ever looking at the official allergens. I have had luck here
