“Ani was an amazing server. She made probably the best guacamole I’ve ever had! Her personality lit up the room and genuinely made my experience at whiskey Diablo that much better. Loved the margaritas! Give this place a shot and make sure to ask for Ani!”

“We got El Vado's food truck for a private event and we couldn't have been happier with the food. The three employees busted their butts kicking food out fast for us! They were so kind, and communicated throughout the event to ensure if we wanted to keep the truck open. Thank you again for elevating our event with your amazing food truck!”

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.
