I visited this EL Pollo Loco today and I was very happy with the experience. I received a warm hello and was thanked for my visit. Most importantly the chicken was delicious. It was juicy, moist, and very tasty. Service was also very fast, which is always appreciated. Kudos to all staff!

While the service was decent, I didn't expect my burrito to come with plastic. Extremely disappointed in this; how do you prep my burrito and not notice a piece of plastic this BIG in the tortilla?!

El Pollo Loco offers a fantastic dining experience. Their family meals are a highlight, catering perfectly to groups of 4, 8, and 12, and bringing people together over delicious food. The coleslaw salad is a standout, offering a unique twist that separates them from other fast food chains. Highly recommended for a satisfying, value-packed meal.Parking: El Pollo Loco offers ample parking space, even accommodating 16-ft trucks. You can rest assured that finding a parking spot will not be an issue.

Food is still good, but the prices are way too high compared to other fast food. Over $6.00 for a large rice? Almost $3.00 for an average size burrito? No thanks.

The chicken wings were a little bit too salty and overcooked for me. But I had to admit that they were really quick!

The food is excellent, the restaurant is clean always, the staff is very professional and courteous. Especially the manager America is terrific. She is very well organized and always friendly. I eat lunch there everyday. This is the location on Bristol Street near Santa Ana Heights. Steve T.

The 2 stars is due to the size of the chicken. I ordered a 4 PC combo and the 4 pieces of chicken were so small they could be just 2. I also ordered an original pollo bowl, and eventhough it was very flavorful, the chicken that they put in the bowl were only shavings of chicken.

The food here has downgraded, the service is nice the employees are super nice but man they need to stop giving out stale tortilla chips. They probably make them and have them there for days they are super hard. Definitely not made the day of. And the pollo bowls they barely have any chicken on it. They fill it up to the top with just beans and rice. Disappointed.

This Pollo Loco has the best service and food. Love your Nachos. Just started coming here a couple of months ago. I like to change to a different item in the menu each time I visit. Today was your Nachos and last Monday it was your Birria Tacos which I think are new on your menu. Manager suggests me the item for the day, and so far I have followed her suggestions and have not been disappointed. Next week, I will try either your Birria Burrito or Quesadilla. Anyway, I go during lunch; I know it's busy during this time, but it's a great experience, so I don't mind waiting a bit longer to get my food. I've been here a couple of times also after work and service is much faster of course, and place is always clean. See ya guys next week!Vegetarian options: Beans, Corn, Mash Potatoes, Tortilla Chips, Gluten Free items available.Kid-friendliness: Kids Menu availableParking: Have their own parking lot, with plenty spacesDietary restrictions: Grilled Chicken, NOT FRIED!
