“We ordered for the 1st time tonight for dinner, and this was hands down the best Mexican food we have had in a very long time! The birria and beef empanadas were absolutely delicious. Will definitely be a new regular spot for us!”

“I cannot express how pleased my family and I were with the Light House Inn in New London, CT. The scenic location and views, the historic building and architecture are truly breathtaking. We were so impressed with the food and service, we decided to have our son's wedding rehearsal dinner there. Alwyn and his staff went above and beyond to make the evening special, and indeed our guests were absolutely delighted. We cannot wait to visit again!”

“01.06.25 'Big Al's Reel Reviews' Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant Es Tu Casa 'Mi Casa' (Is your home my home) in the City of New London? 🤷🏾♂️ Well I am sure that I will be back for more delicious Mexican food. I gave them two 👍🏾👍🏾 due to serving me two amazing meals this evening! I will be honest and admit that the prices are a little bit "heavy" compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area but overall I really enjoyed my meals and the atmosphere at Mi Casa's a lot!

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.
