they don’t have margaritas they don’t have mole sauce for the enchiladas that I ordered. There’s nobody here. It’s a Friday night and I would not bother wasting my time coming here ever. I just told him I’ll take that beer right there and that’ll be all

Nasty. I wouldn't even give the food to my dogs. Unseasoned, soggy chips and tortilla bowl. No cheese on the nachos. And of course, too expensive for they crap they serve. All went into the garage.
Pretty underseasoned everything. Everything tastes bland and lacks any flavor. Go to Xochimilco instead.
I’ve gotten food here several times before and enjoyed it, but the past couple times have gone downhill and tonight was the worst. First I arrived to pick up and they had no clue about my order — they hadn’t paid attention to online orders. They said it would be 5 minutes. It was three times that long. Then I checked my meal and it had the wrong enchilada sauce. They said they didn’t have the one I ordered. But did they say anything to me? No. Not while I was waiting, not when they gave me my order. They just chose another sauce, which was one I don’t like so I had to wait AGAIN for them to remake it. Then when we got home, my wife took out her quesadilla and it was missing kind of a key element for that meal — cheese! It had all the other fillings except cheese!

I ordered Carne Azada, and the steak was dry and hard to bite, but the rest of it was good.
I’m from Chicago, wife is from Southern California. We moved to Springfield a couple of years ago. El Pollo is our favorite place in town. Over the weekend we saw a moving truck out front and started to freak out lol. Glad to see they aren’t leaving us!
Service was great, no complaints there, chips and salsa also given upon seating which also was fine. The main issue was with the food! Stopped in at peak lunch time and ordered a simple cheese quesadilla with rice and beans. First, the rice and beans were both cold somehow, not even warm. The rice was extremely bland. Didn’t seem to have any veggies or anything in it let alone flavor. Tasted like cold plain rice with orange coloring. The quesadilla was the only thing hot on the plate, but I expected authentic Mexican, and the cheese here was not your traditional Oaxaca or chihuahua. It was a processed white cheese similar to kraft singles, with a plasticky taste. The only thing on the plate I was able to finish was the beans and only because I was hungry and had spent $9.05 on this plate already.

The food really was not that good. The taco and burrito meat was very salty as well as the beans. The women's bathroom smelled like sewer and had a big hunk of something brownish red on the floor. I don't recommend this place place at all.

Stopped by for lunch .. friendly local place .. YUMMY Nacho Supreme..
place is old and a bit run down .. maybe pull the weeds and clean up the parking lot ..
friendly service made it for us.
It would be a struggle if I needed to use my wheelchair here - crumbling ramp from parking to sidewalk, bathroom definitely wouldn’t work for wheelchair. Dining area could support a wheelchair plenty of space there
