What User likes about El Pollo Loco:
Very friendly staff. Service was fast and there was no line/wait to order. The chicken was freshly made, and the location was super clean, including the gender neutral bathrooms. El pollo loco continues to be go-to place when I want fast food, but stilleat something healthy (roasted chicken, salad and veggies). View all feedback.

What User doesn't like about El Pollo Loco:
Today I took my son to eat at this restaurant, today they will close at 9:00. It was 8:30 at night when I asked for my order and the shift manager told me that I couldn't eat inside the store because they were going to start cleaning. and I told him that Iam a client and that they have to serve until the last minute but he told me to go out to eat. It made me want to hit that guywho treats his clients like that badly View all feedback.

Restaurant smells like mold and huh tasted old. I always like el pollo in the past, but this place falls far short.

Very efficient service, restaurant was empty. Salsa bar is non existent and you have to get salsa at the counter.
