“The food is pretty good. As a visitor to this town as we just come through here, this is our stop every time. Best place to eat at so far. The rest of the restaurants can learn something from this place. I also might add, the beer is cold and service is good. And yes the ac might not be freezing you out, but really who cares when it is the best place to eat. We can look past that. Listened to other people bickering about it, but they sat there enjoying their food the whole time. # 16 is a recommendation. It is my go to.”
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.
