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!

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

I have been there quite a few times. I have had Nochos, beef, chicken, and the supreme, beef, tacos, chicken, tacos, steak tacos, and fajitas, and all was very good but the service is slow and needs a some of work.

Parking: The parking lot is pretty rough with lots of holes and hard to park
