El Pollo Loco is a popular restaurant with good prices that don't break the bank. While customer service can be hit or miss, the food is always good. The chicken is a standout, with many customers raving about its taste. The restaurant offers excellent quick service, and the food is cooked on fire rather than in a microwave, which adds to its appeal. Customers appreciate the fresh guacamole and the flavorful tacos el cabin, which can be just as good or better than remembered. The staff, including Cristian, are known for their friendly and welcoming attitude, making visitors feel appreciated. Many customers enjoy the Original Pollo bowl with green sauce or Tacos Al Carbon, often requesting green chillies on the side. Although there are some issues with wheelchair accessibility and occasional inconsistency in meal quality, such as reheated chicken, El Pollo Loco remains a favorite, especially among locals and seniors who benefit from discounted options. Overall, it is a place where good food and friendly service create a positive dining experience.
