This place SMACKS! It is fantastic, clean, and efficient! The people here were very helpful when I was trying to order and helped me pick out what I really wanted. I got the double chicken bowl and salsa verde quesadilla. I ordered at 6 pm and got my food within a few minutes. I know it's a chain, but I will vouch for this specific location!

Please be careful and check your food before eating.. I called and manager said it wasnt their fault, ohh and they dont wash their cilantro..
On 9/12/25, girl at DRIVE-THRU was the rudest person I have ever encountered. She had the worse attitude, like she hated her job & didn’t want to be there. Why hire people with no customer service & multitasking skills? It’s not that hard to be friendly? If she’s having a bad day, send her home, have her do something else away from the public or fire her!

I ordered the double chicken avacado salad. Love that. Loaded with protein. Chicken is cooked nicely. Vegetables are fresh. The cilantro sauce is really good. Hands down El Pollo Loco is the best fast food restaurant to me

First time visiting this place, 20 years ago, Pollo Loco was located in East Salinas and wasn't a chain. So is it still the best chicken in Salinas? Yes, it has the same flavor I remember. Flame grilled no sweet or spicy sauce. However, you will want to eat every bit of tasty skin ?. So why only 4 stars for the food, to much like a chain restaurant. Very basic sides mashed potatoes, tasty Spanish corn ,steamed broccoli, beans and churros,coleslaw. I got the corn, and it was very tasty, especially with the cilantro cream sauce . The staff was very attentive and polite, always smiling, and told me they are coming to Seaside, Ca. Can't wait to see how they do in my neighborhood .
