“This is a great place. A few friends and I stopped in on a Wednesday night for one of the pool tournaments they host and met a lot of nice people. It's a very unique looking bar and they are one of the few places anywhere that serve absinthe. If you haven't had absinthe I would suggest you stop in and try it out.”

“I was pleasantly surprised tonight when I ordered thru the drive thru. The guy who took my order patiently answered my questions while ordering. I had to pull up and wait for my order and there was two cars ahead of me. It was pouring rain and I watched him hustle everyone's food to them I must be honest I don't normally see to many people with a spring in their step like him. He told me his name was Dimitri and I think he should be considered for some kind of compensation. Now the food which was just average is another story. I guess you just can't have it all.”
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.
