They consistently run out of chicken? How does a chicken place run put of chicken all the time. This location is horribly managed.

First time eating El Pollo Loco. Man, I wish you guys were back home too. Delicious, and doesn't try to break my wallet.

The meal was okay ..the chicken tacos were a little dry. But it was the minute maid lemonade for me. It tasted like I was drinking something that had a dirty socks inside. Hey EPL, can you ask all of your locations to consistently clean the interior of the drink machine, daily? Because you're going to make someone sick 🤢 I spent over $40 and feel like I should be on antibiotics stat due to this sour, dirty dishwater tasting drink!

Received incorrect order. Returned and received incorrect order again. Person handling money handled chicken without gloves.

DO NOT COME HERE.

Missing food.

Rip off.

Non- functioning intercom.

Terrible intercom when making your order. Be prepared to repeat every part of your order at least five times just for it to be perfectly incorrect.

Poor reflection on employees and management. Do better.

My husband and I came to EPL for a quick lunch. The first thing I see when we walk in is 2 kiosks to place an order. Our government has really mest things up. No more cashiers. You have to wait a while in order to get any help because there are only 2, maybe 3,employees. That's what happens when the minimum wage goes to $20. This is also giving cashless society vibes. You have to pay with a card at the kiosks. There was no signage telling customers what to do if they were paying cash. For this reason, I gave it a 1 star. The food was good but there is no longer any good customer service. I do not want to go to restaurants and have to order on kiosks. That means people's jobs are being taken away. Their positions are eliminated because of the machines. My way of opposing this is by not continuing to buy from these places. As much as I like EPL food, I will not contribute to this. Not everyone will agree with me, and that's ok. I know their overhead and bottom line have a lot to do with their decisions.

I called this location as I was traveling with a group of 15 (high school athletes & staff), I wanted to give them a heads up on our group size. The girl told me that I had to order catering because they couldn’t cook more than 16 pieces at a time! Oh well, chipotle took our money! Almost $400.
