“Dropped by while on an incredibly long road trip, place seems to have changed it's name to El J's which I was confused on at first. Got the lengua burrito and The Munchies Burrito. Munchie burrito was a solid 10/10 with a good amount of fillings and absolutely delicious Chile Relleno and Shrimp, green and red sauces complimented the burrito well. lengua burrito was a 9/10 but didn't come with much in terms of fillings, make sure if you are ordering a non specialty burrito you specify if you want beans rice cheese etc as they don't come with them by default.”

“This is truly a grade AAA operation! Ben, the general manager, and his team, do an impeccable job. I have used this Qdoba as a caterer for business lunches for about a year and have ordered from them dozens of times. They are always deliver an excellent product with top-tier service. On 5/12/26, Ben and the team truly went above and beyond to make sure my catering order was a success. I deeply appreciate the care and hustle they put into their work. In my many visits to this store, I have seen them provide the same level of service to every other customer that visits.”

“They got our order right. For me, that's a 4-star straight gout of the gates! Efficient, just not inviting or friendly, and on point!! I prefer the food and payment to be done right then the cashier is smoozey with anyone....9 all day!”
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.
