3/22/26: Placed an order to DoorDash with El Pollo Loco, placed an order of Baja Double Shrimp Tostada (no beans) combo with a Large Coke, and Churros. I DONT RECOMMEND ORDERING THE FLAN ITS NOT LIKE THE PICTURE! Ordered @ 8:28 pm , Arrived @ 9:15pm (Marina)
The Baja double shrimp tostada was very tasteful and flavorful and full of shrimp with the dressing. It was very good sour cream wasn’t dry and would order without the beans was a great choice. Definitely would order...read full review

I love El Pollo Loco. I eat at El Pollo Loco everywhere I go. I live in the Hayward area, and they get a LOT of my business. I highly recommend it. The chicken is grilled, not fried, and is not greasy. Put it together with the ingredients they use, such as Mexican style rice and beans and you've got a delicious, satisfying meal. Best part is it's more sensibly priced than KFC. The Salinas location did not disappoint. I'm visiting from my home area and loved the burrito I ate here...read full review
El Pollo Loco is the most authentic Mexican restaurant of the fast food chains. It's on of the few that are relatively healthy.
