I enjoy eating at El Pollo Loco! I came here late at night and order a family meal and the chicken was juicy and delicious. I would recommend coming here again. Also, their burritos are delicious I tried the chicken avocado and it delicious and big.

Kid-friendliness: They are friendly with everyone not just kids!

Good and healthy Mexican cuisine. Me and my lady could live off this stuff black beans and avocado are a regular thing on their meals. Can't ask for much more one of my favorite fast food for sure a little pricey and that's why it get 4 stars instead of 5

Wheelchair accessibility: They have easy access to the sidewalk that leads to the door and everything is on the first floor so yeah definitely has easy wheelchair access

I had a wonderful drive thru experience with Angel taking my order. He made me feel heard, I didn't have to repeat any portion of my order as he heard me the first time around. I could tell he was busy and hustling during the start of lunch time, but even though he was busy taking the next order, he never dropped the ball and missed a portion of making me feel happy to have my lunch here today.
