Went there at 4pm after work & was given a paper of coupons & got a meal for 2 & wow that chicken 2 legs & 2 thighs was the greatest ever. Ate it Friday & the rest today. I will be going back again this week. It was fantastic.

September 2025

In my opinion El pollo loco is an underrated chain. The food quality is always top notch and actually can beat out a few of the “authentic “ Mexican restaurants in the area. It was great when they had the self service salsa bar but Covid did away with that. New remodeled always clean with a few tables outside. For an affordable fresh healthier meal El polo loco is a great option

This is the first time I've ever had bad food at this location. My Pollo Bowl had unchopped chicken all connected by cartilage - just gross! And wilted lettuce mixed in with my cilantro.
Must be the day off for the regular cook who makes it all so delicious.
