I’m not a big fan of fast food, but when I do indulge, I’m selective about where I go. My top choices are Cava for its fresh, healthy options and El Pollo Loco when I want to treat myself. Unfortunately, every time I visit this particular El Pollo Loco, I end up disappointed—either the portions are too small, or the food is overcooked and dry.
Tonight was no different. I chipped a tooth on an overcooked chicken wing, and my chicken breast was so small it looked more like a chicken thigh. I was starving, and since I use a cane, I didn’t have the energy to go back and complain. So, I just powered through—swallowing a piece of my broken tooth in the process. I was beyond frustrated, but hunger won out.
It’s frustrating how some fast food restaurants treat paying customers like they’re handing out free meals at a soup kitchen—tiny portions, poor quality, and an indifferent attitude, all while charging sky-high prices. I only resort to fast food in emergencies, and even then, I’m rarely satisfied.
For comparison, the Cava location I visit consistently gives me good portions and quality food, but I can only speak for my personal experience there.
If you’re looking for small, tough chicken that still tastes decent, this El Pollo Loco might be for you—just be sure to check your food before you leave. They tend to package it in covered containers and slip it into a bag, making it easy to miss the portion size until you’re already gone. I let it slide tonight, but I won’t be coming back. The prices are too high for such small portions and poor quality.
It’s a shame because they used to be the best.

Honestly the tostada salad never fails, but the tables inside seem to be dirty, didn’t clean them!

I always come to pollo loco and idk why they mooch out on the Chips. You ask for a large bag and they give you a large bag with literally no chips inside and I’m paying $3.29 for basically an empty bag. Chillies gives you a huge bag for free yet pollo loco for some reason it’s hard for them to give chips. It’s not the first time happens all the time.

I come here occasionally for my dad but the food is always inconsistent. Sometimes it's fresh sometimes it's not. I ordered a $5 shrimp taco today and got home to realize it's a chicken taco. If this were the first time this has happened I probably would have went back but it's not so remember to check your food before you pull off.

Both two chicken bowls and we ended up eating nothing bean and rice. Very little chicken for the price of $25. Bad vibes from employees.
