“The food was absolutely amazing!!! I hate to add this but the service was awful!! Wasn't business but took forever to check on us, would be sitting in a booth talking. Didn't bring more chips when we ran out and took forever to get my credit card back! I had to get up and ask for it. Again, the food was the best all the way around and for any of the other places in that area. But I am very unsure about returning and dining in. Very lucky my boyfriend left I tip because I wouldn't have.”

“Stopped in and had some tacos. Unfortunately my daughter didn't want her rice so as I went to put it in a to-go container I found hair but the service was so slow I just left. It may be a bit before we return if we do.”

“The original Cancun Mexican Restaurant & Grill was excellent but the new Cancun Mexican Restaurant & Grill location at Bridgewater is the BEST. Food was A+ and Service was top notch. 2 Thumbs up! Prices are not what you'd expect from a waterfront restaurant...great value for your dollar!”
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.
