    This unattractive plate is aptly named El Pollo Loco. It is a sad mixture of grilled chicken & rice that looked like a crime scene.
    Jennie Y.

    Service was as sweet as the salsa was sad. If only the chef's food were as good as the waitstaff's smiles. That's where the compliments end. The salsa? Straight out of a jar, like they cracked open a bottle of generic supermarket sadness and thought, "Good enough!" Not a single fresh tomato or veggie in sight. Then came the entrées. I'd describe the presentation, but I'm pretty sure my dog has eaten prettier meals. I looked down at the plate, and it looked back at me--hungry for approval that it was never going to get. I have never been served a more unattractive plate of grilled chicken and rice. When the "El Pollo Loco" arrived, let's say it lived up to the "loco" part, but not in a good way. Picture a mountain of grilled chicken smothered in a suspiciously thick cheese sauce, all dumped onto a bed of overcooked rice. It looked like someone had put all the ingredients in a blender, hit pulse, and then casually spilled it onto the plate. The chicken was barely distinguishable from the rice, and the whole thing had the consistency and appearance of something my dog would've eagerly scarfed down. But for a human? Not so much. My husband had better luck with his chimichanga which he described as "average". He said the refried beans were good. We were there on a Monday night and noticed that the place was quite busy. Turns out it was dollar taco night and it seemed popular and looked like the folks were enjoying it. If you're into eating straight-up blandness served with a side of "this could've been better," this place is for you. Or if you have a hankering for $1 tacos, go there on a Monday. But hey, at least the staff was super polite, efficient, and friendly. Just avoid the El Pollo Loco and the salsa.

    Extensive menu. Large portions. I had the vegetarian chimichanga and the vegetables we cooked well and had a great flavor. Refried beans had actual bean chunks, not the soupy smooth mixture you see at many express Mexican joints. Service was a bit slower than expected but the food was worth the wait. The best ambiance is in the back dining room. Parking is free in side lots but be sure to scan QR code in restaurant to validate parking. Amigos is a good place to stop for lunch or dinner in St Elmo's. It's right across from the Incline Railway and a short drive to Rock City and Ruby Falls.

    We came here last minute for dinner and had called ahead about how busy it was. It was busy which is why we hurried over. When we entered, I was not a fan of the environment. It was blank white walls with wooden/steal seating. I have adhd which doesn't affect me too much with dining, but the echoy volume of everyone in the building with the white walls made me uncomfortable. The staff was very kind and tried their best tending to us since it was very busy. My parents ordered margaritas snd I just had a water. They said the drinks tasted like chemicals (like the drinks taste that way, not cleaning chemicals). I ordered the grilled chicken tacos and was surprised when it was only cheese and chicken on it without additional toppings. My grandma gave me her side of guacamole to help make my meal more flavorful. The cheese was very good, but got very bland the more I ate. I actually was a big fan on the think sliced chicken, but was still disappointed with the overall flavor of the meal

    My family eats here often. The food is good, there is never a wait for a table and it's a nice facility.

    I'm here for a conference room and got in kind of late so I was looking for a chill place to work…read moreand have lunch and I ran across this place. I didn't know what to get so my waiter recommended two of the bollykick tacos (chicken shawarma and chicken tikka) with a side salad and then I saw they had tamarind margaritas so I got one. AMAZING!! The meat in that tacos were so good and my margarita was the perfect ending for a long day of travel! What really got me was just how amazing the service was. I was there pretty close to closing and all the workers were extremely kind and patient with me while they were setting up a party. If I have time, i will definitely be back just because the service was amazing!

    Bollywood Tacos is a fusion and of Mexican and Indian food and I am here for it. They have specials…read moregoing on during the week and they have trivia night on Wednesdays. We entered and we were told we could sit anywhere it was a big group of us ao we just say at different booths. Our server was so kind and attentive because we had five children with us and he was patient. Let's get to the food though. It was soooo tasty. Started off with chips and queso and the lamb fundido, the lamb in the queso was perfection I could not get enough. The tacos you could get house, premium or Bolly special. I chose from premium and bolly and it did not disappoint. The rice was also flavorful and cooked right. They have burritos and enchiladas and few other things to choose from but overall hands down one of the best fusion spots Ive been to.
