“I loved the food offerings on the Rose Cafe-great menu, but I settled on Mexican-shredded beef relleno (love relleno's but most are stuffed with just cheese), this one had a generous amount of great tasting shredded beef on top of the stuffed relleno (chicken was also an option). Salsa was tasty. Whole beans were cooked to perfection as was the rice. Green chili (had a choice of red or green) was great and spicy. Prices were fair especially in this part of the country. \n\nBUT-usually you get a bowl of chips and salsa at a Mexican food place, but not here, AND I ordered our table a round of 4 HOUSE margaritas. Chips with the margy's would have gone great. But what was a shock was the $8 per margarita price. The value of the margaritas served was more like $4 in my humble opinion--$5 tops. Thats the only thing that kept me from giving a full 5 star rating.”
El Pollo Loco is betting that loyalty members want more than discounts. The fire-grilled chicken chain rolled out a refreshed Loco Rewards program earlier this year, pairing exclusive experiences with app-driven promotions as part of a broader turnaround that's already delivering results. The centerpiece of the relaunch: a partnership with Coca-Cola for a "soccer challenge" giving members a shot at a VIP trip to the 2026 Major League Soccer All-Star Game in Charlotte, N.C., on July 29. The grand prize includes two game tickets, hotel accommodations, flight vouchers, and a $300 Visa gift card. A hundred runner-up winners each receive a $25 El Pollo Loco gift card.
