I ordered the 2 piece meal with brocolli, pinto beans, and corn tortillas. I had a side of the avocado hot sauce and the red hot sauce. The chicken was tender and moist, not dry, flavorful, and well marinated. The broccoli was not overcooked and soggy but steamed just right with a little bit of crisp to it. My pinto beans had a great flavor with a little bit of a spicy kick, which I love.The cashier was attentive and engaging. He was polite and had a smile when saying hi and bye. The speed of service was amazing, as they cut my chicken and got my meal to me quickly. Great experience at this location!

He thought I had chicken from the day before, it was very old. It's a shame because you pay for something that's fresh.

My first time at an El Pollo Loco (btw love the name ?). We chose to dine-in. The place was quite, clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful with my questions about their menu. I had the chicken&avocado bowl and the rest of the family had chicken quesadillas, tacos al carbon and chicken burritos. The flavours were there and the prices were good. My only comment for the store manager would be to ensure that the avocados in the chicken&avocado bowl be as fresh as possible because mine were a little passed their best point and they are one of the two main ingredients of the dish. But we would definitely go again! Thank you.

Really good food but took awhile to get the food after it was oder. Thought it was fast food? The lobby had kids running around like there parents had no mind to control them. Price was not to bad.

Today I stopped by to order a meal for two with the coupon they give out and it was so easy to use. The cashier Gaby was so nice and welcoming. I enjoy eating at el pollo loco! The chicken was delicious I order some salsa and the avocado salsa was delicious with the side of chips. The outside of the store was clean and many parking lots and seating outside.

Don't go inside to order. Drive thru gets all the attention, they don't care that people inside have to wait a long time well beyond if you had used the drive thru. Had an issue using rewards. Person asked for the manager's help. It took a crazy amount of time for him to come over. Just a simple acknowledgement that he would be over in minute would have been nice, but no. Felt very ignored. Problem was easily solved, but wouldn't want to come back to this location.
