“Food was so amazing 😋 . Love this place. I come here regularly and I have built a connection with a very nice worker named Farouk. We have talked about football and other things before. Outstanding service and food. Definitely recommend 💯“

“I love this El Pollo Loco. I have been coming here for years but today felt compelled to write this review after a bad experience at the Costa Mesa location on Bristol. The service at this location is exceptional. They customize items for me and go above and beyond for customers. Their food is always delicious and the dining area is spacious and clean. They understand the rewards program and thankfully dont have kiosks! Thank you La Paz El Pollo Loco.“

“They make tasty food in the services typically always good but the size of the chicken fingers is about half of what it used to be 5 years ago which is kind of they make tasty food in the services typically always good but the size of the chicken fingers is about half of what it used to be 5 years ago which is kind of annoying“

“The food quality wasn’t very good, and the fries were bitter and tasted old, which was disappointing.

Anessa who helped us with our order was incredibly patient and kind. She took the time to explain the options, answer all of our questions, and genuinely made sure we ordered exactly what we wanted. She didn’t rush us at all, and her recommendations were actually very helpful.

Her patience, professionalism, and positive attitude really made a difference. Employees like her are what make a place stand out, even when the food experience isn’t the best.“

“If you're looking for hot chicken that's packed with flavor and not just heat, Redbird Hot Chicken & Fries needs to be on your radar~

What I loved most is how they focus on building real flavor first, then bringing in the perfect kick of spice. Every bite was crispy, juicy, well-seasoned, and had just the right amount of heat to keep you coming back for more

My absolute favorite was the Chicken Cheese Fries
Loaded with tender hot chicken, crispy fries, melty cheese, and flavorful toppings.

Beside that, the manager is super kind, he went over everything on the menu with us and give us the best recommendations“

“Great atmosphere, super clean , food was hot, portioned and presented well. Austin was awesome, amicable, a great listener, thoughtful , helpful and I didn’t order a drink and he offered a cup of iced water while I waited for my food.“

“Really impressed by how consistent this place is. I’ve ordered from multiple locations and the quality has always been solid. The Hainan chicken is flavorful, the broth is comforting, and everything tastes fresh. It’s healthy without feeling boring. Perfect quick lunch option when you want something filling but not too heavy.“

“Great service and very clean“

“This place was incredible. Had the 3 Piece Mixed. The seasonings and crunch was perfect. My son had the Fish. The breading was seasoned great. Sides were good. Definitely looking foward to trying more from. The menu. Walked in and they gave us a free sample piece of chicken because it was our first time there. I was all in immediately. The taste mixed with genuine service was something you don't find often. Vernon/Rockville becoming a delicious food hub as of late. So many great options now.“

“What yummy delicious juicy chicken!“

“Great food. Super nice staff. Thank you. When they say it’s spicy believe them. Dare is almost unbearable. I wouldn’t dare try the double dare. Soooo good.“

“Love this place there food is so clean and tasty. Best chicken spot I have been to. I have been to almost all of them from Dave’s to hotties to Breds. But this one by far is the tastiest and most juicy. If you like your chicken juicy and crispy this is the place to try. Try them out asap if you havnt yet.“

“My hangout, healthy choices and some items under $5 while earning points ���“

“I went through the Chick-fil-A drive-thru and jokingly asked the guy at the window if he could sprinkle some love on my food. Without missing a beat, he blew a kiss to my bag and even made a heart with his hands! It absolutely made my day. It was one of the sweetest customer service experiences I've ever had. Thank you for going above and beyond to make a simple meal so memorable!“

“Great food! Friendly staff! And CLEAN!!!!“

“The best food great Service clean restaurant always fast“

“El Pollo Loco on Greenfield in Laguna Niguel is one of the best locations in our area. Isabel is the manager and we must say that we've had nothing but a wonderful experience with her, every time we've come here. One time, we were shorted during our drive-through order and we called her, and she immediately took care of it and then some! This evening we were back again and she was so kind to tell us all about their specials and to give us a coupon. She is so professional, courteous, and welcoming! If you want a good Apollo experience come to the Greenfield location, ask for Isabel, you won't be disappointed!!“

“10 out of 10 completely. if you're looking for that chicken that just falls into pieces as you take a bite this is a spot to go to it is amazing and tender“

“You can tell this is a family owned business that really cares about its quality. All the chicken are freshly fried, that's why there is a bit of a wait. The waffle is actually my favorite, super crispy, best waffles I've had in a while.“

“La quesadillas de pollo con guacamole me gusta mucho. thankyou guys.“

“Only ever tried the Fire Fries and this is my first time ordering here so I don't know if this is normal for these fries or if I got a weird batch but these are SPICY. I am able to down a pack of Buldak x2 Spicy without a problem so when I say the Fire Fries are spicy, I mean it hurts like the fries hate you, burns it's way down, and while the tongue eventually settles down, my gut is bubbling and it's so painful, I can barely sit straight. Delicious!“

“Once the person at the register realized I hadn’t been helped everything was smooth sailing after that. (I do feel when 4 people around the counter there is no reason to not acknowledge someone with a hello.) However, what made it right. The person apologized. I really liked seeing the tables and seats being cleaned, the food being brought out. Plus, what I really liked in the middle of my honey packet and stick fingers they came by with hand wipes and mints. Then back and took my tray when I was done. Sending that person around with those gestures is chefs kiss. And the restrooms were clean and hand sanitizer was in clear sight.“

“Good quality chicken . Love it“

“Food is always good and yummy. Love their sweet tea and kids meals are the best.“

“its my go to spot now. went with a couple friends last week and we all left stuffed. the chicken is super juicy and has that perfect char taste. my friend got the burrito and it looked huge, i had to try a bite and it was awsome. the guy at the counter was real patient while we figured out what we wanted. idrive all the way across town just for this.

oops almost forgot, the beans and rice are really good too.“

“We will return. Great food and much cleaner than any other One we have been too.“

“I ❤️ their boba! I traveled 30 min to go here!“

“I come here almost 3 times a week...really good“

“This El Pollo Loco location is always solid! The chicken is perfectly fire-grilled, juicy, and full of flavor every time. The sides are fresh, the portions are generous, and everything tastes made-to-order. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean and well maintained. Quick service and consistently good food — definitely one of my go-to spots!“

“Great experience at El Pollo Loco! The chicken was fresh, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and had a delicious fire-grilled flavor. The sides were tasty, portions were generous, and everything was served quickly. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly and efficient. A great option when you want something flavorful and satisfying without feeling like typical fast food. Definitely coming back!“

“I went here and ordered my usual which is a box of chicken nuggets, a box of chicken strips, a kale crunch, and a large iced tea. Chick-Fil-A takes the same here in Los Angeles vs Miami. The strips arent as greasy as Popeyes. overall very good“

“Yesterday i came in For lunch Right before i started eating i notice two asian people Came in a Started changing the air conditioning filters A big no-noo specialy during bussines hours and with out covering the salsa bar or any other area I asked the manager to stop them, he came out talk to them and the continued any way Check my facebook photos and videos...“

“Wow. The most incredible service ever. Sharon was the kindest person ever and was incredibly helpful and went above and behind to ensure she delivered the best service. Honestly I would give the service 6/5 stars, Sharon took amazing care.
Well done to her and the team 👏“

“Love this El Pollo Loco near my work. I’ve been coming herea lot for over two years since my job moved into the area, and the food is consistently good every single time. The manager and staff are always friendly, welcoming, and on top of things. Reliable spot with great service.“

“Stopped here for some chicken sandwiches. We enjoy the spicy and original sandwiches and recommend them.

A little disappointed as our old regular chick fil a would allow us to order our fries well done. This one won’t. We like them well done!“

“This visit was a bit different for me—not due to any issue with the service or the quality of the food, which were both solid. I genuinely enjoy Chick‑fil‑A, but the breakfast portion felt smaller than expected for the price point. My feedback reflects this specific breakfast experience only and shouldn’t be taken as a critique of the store or the organization overall.“

“This place is a Taiwanese fried chicken restaurant and is a different style of fried chicken that is softer and less crunchy. It is much less heavy and does not make you feel too lethargic after. You order at the tablet and pick up at the counter. Very chill and casual spot with friendly staff are fair prices.“

“I ordered the spicy original and the soy garlic wings. The wings are fairly large (compared to Wingstop) so the 8 piece small is enough. Both flavors were really good with the spicy original being more like just a just a small kick than actually spicy.“

“We had to wait about 5 minutes for our food but it was worth the wait! The chicken was really good! I've been to other locations where the chicken was terrible. So much so that this was the last time I was going to try KFC. But I will be back to this location only!“

“Very clean and welcoming place with a beautiful atmosphere. The restaurant is always well maintained, the tables are kept spotless, and the interior design is beautiful.

All of the staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. Service was fast, and everyone I interacted with was kind and welcoming. I would especially like to thank the lady who helped me during my visit (I believe her name was Yali). She was incredibly warm, patient, and attentive, and was always happy to help whenever I needed assistance.

Overall, a wonderful experience with excellent customer service. Highly recommended“

“I am not new to KFC, but am new to this location. My order was prepared quickly, tasted great, was fairly priced, and the staff were friendly. Despite many other chicken options in the area, KFC is still one of the best. Extra-crunchy style lives up to the hype, and the sides are great- not too salty like Popeye's.“

“The fried chicken is on point. Good crunch, taste, everything right. The fries could be good, but they’re always soggy when doing take away. Soggy already at pick up. I really wish you would stop using closed boxes, trapping all the moisture. Instead use the same type of boxes as for the chicken, so the fries stay crunchy as well.“

“These guys went above and beyond having known it was a chilly night to be eating outdoor, they provided us with blankets! What a touch of service-golden!“

“The Chick-Fil-A in Foothill Ranch is excellent! The chicken nuggets, waffle fries, Mac and cheese, and fruit cups are always freshly prepared and absolutely delicious! My two toddler sons and I go to this location approximately twice a week, and every visit I am always impressed by how good the service is and how incredibly CLEAN everything is. My sons absolutely love coming here, because the food is so yummy and they love playing in the indoor playground. Additionally, the owner of the Chick-Fil-A is amazing! She is very kind, helpful, and generous with customers. She takes the time to talk with my toddler sons every visit and it is evident that she truly cares about providing guests with a great experience! This is literally the BEST Chick-Fil-A location, and I highly recommend checking it out!“
