“The jalapeño margarita is awesome! Our waitress, Dee, was very patient and attentive, and had answers to all our questions. Shrimp fajitas were incredible (but needed more tortillas to go with it). Overall the best food and service I've had in a long time.”

“Great place to get a quick bite I usually use drive-thru so I can't say much about the inside but I can say that I do not like the voice of the AI taking my order, she doesn't understand much and I'd rather have a real person taking my order in case I have a question.”

“I went to drive thru. I was stuck behind one person for 20 minutes waiting for them to get there order. Once I got to pick my my order all the tacos were ice cold and like no sour cream on them. But the chicken was nice and hot. The gentleman that took my order was amazing.”
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.
