Bertha and staff were amazing! I put in a last minute catering order and they took care of everything! Thank you

The food was amazing, I ordered the guacamole chicken burrito and it was mouthwatering! The service was great, everybody was really kind. The environment was really clean. I'll definitely be back!! read more

I ordered 3 avocado, chicken burritos got so much pico salsa that none of us ate them. Tried to call. No one answered the phone. Finally got a manager the next day. She told me to drive the burritos in. I told her, I threw them away. She told me to dig them out of the trash and bring in. My husband 72, my self 69. Told to get them out of the dumpster. Thats crazy. Figured there food was not EVER worth this night mare. Noticed they have a 2.6 rating. I now wonder how they rate at all. I will tell everyone. read more

Great service, very clean, and the food was great as always. Always a great location for a quick meal!

The food was made very good and fast. The attitude of the workers was on point I would definitely be back

Always a pleasure to eat at this place! I visited the restaurant last Saturday morning with my friend and we had a great time. The restaurant was very nice and clean and the crew was very friendly read more

Friendly and fast with my order. Very clean, food was so good I love the way you can eat and enjoy the food here.

Very disapointed, we order a family feast 16 pieces mixed for go. Chicken was good, but the portion of the rice and Mash potatoes was less then a cup,not even enough for 2 persons, salad was good but the person whom serve the dressing didn't close the lid correctly and make a mess in the bag, so we miss the cilantro dressing. Services not recommended at all. read more

I love going to El Pollo Loco. The food is always fresh at the service is great, but most importantly the food is really fresh and very good and my son loves it.!! read more

the chicken was like leather. salad was yucky. rice was dry. 8 piece family was awful. sorry i ordered anything. read more

I come here all the time! Would definitely recommend, quick service! I go here for lunch almost every time

El Pollo Loco offers delicious grilled chicken with fresh flavors, great for a quick meal.

Great service. Food was great and service was fast.................... definitely will return to this location

This restaurant is in a good part of town and the employees were polite, friendly, and attentive so we decided to dine in. We chose an 8 piece meal with beans, rice, and corn tortillas. All of the food tasted fresh and homemade including the salsa. It is not overly seasoned so you may want to add your own. I was a little disappointed that the chicken pieces were a little small but there is a chicken shortage right now. read more

Had a Burrito From here for the first time yesterday and it was actually really good. The service quick and the food was fresh. would definitely recommend and will be back. read more

They forget something every time. To many people working the drive thru. I told 2 different people what I ordered went to the window and they screw it up. This is the second time they forgot a side. I guess it's my fault for not checking there work. read more

The salad I had was very good. Service at drive up window was very fast. Very clean and nice service . read more

Hello, I've been going to Pollo Loco for quite a while she has customer service like I haven't seen in a good minute. She's very helpful very polite she always goes the extra mile for me. This should really have more people like her working. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. This restaurant is the worst I've ever been to. The employees are not capable of doing their job correctly. They should all be sent to sit behind the counter at a gas station. Maybe they can at least run the register and scan items if they're not capable of giving the correct orders. I came here when I first moved to Apple Valley about 6-8 months ago. They messed up my order and literally gave me the opposite of everything I ordered. I paid almost $20 for the meal I ordered but got about $11 worth of food because it was the wrong order. I swore I would never go back. I wish I'd listened to my gut and didn't go back but I made the mistake of going back tonight. I ordered a very simple three-piece white meat, breast and wing, meal with corn for the sides and corn tortillas. I got two thighs and a drumstick and flour tortillas. Are you f'n kidding me? I swear now I will never go back to this place again. There are too many other options a mile away or less. This place is the absolute worst! read more

I love this place. I'm able to get in and out during my 30 minute lunch every time I come with time to spare. After COVID shut down the lobby, they got their drive through game down to a science. Don't worry if you see a long line when you drive up. You'll be in and out fast. If you have time to sit down inside, you can wait for an "extra grill" on your burrito and take it to another dimension. This is one of the few restaurants that still offers lemon for your iced tea... unlike other places we will not mention here (cough, cough, McDonalds). Bonus comment: the chips have been amazing for quite a while now. I have not received a bad batch in ages and almost a year ago now, they made the bag for side item chips larger.

El Pollo Loco - Mexican Near Me - Apple Valley, California

i always go to the restaurant and they always have the most delicious horchata and the chicken is always good

Just left this establishment and is just going down hill I ordered the new double chicken bowl and it's a joke 2 bites of chicken threw in it $11 never again I rather go to chipotle. Everytime I visit this location it's an issue. I really wanna take it back and throw it on the counter read more

food was really good 10 out of 10 must try the double chicken salad was my favorite but everything on the menu is super good

I love El pollo loco but I was very disappointed with this branch on the corner of hwy 18 and apple valley road. I got double chicken tostada salad. The chicken was very hard and dry. The avocado was so raw that I could not even take a bite of it. The tostada smelled and tasted of stale oil. read more

Chicken they sell is not fresh. Chicken is one or two days old. Dry and chewy. Customer service sucks. Don't go through the drive-thru. You ask them for sauce and they don't give you any. No napkins or utensils. Terrible! read more

We had them cater our Family Christmas Party of 50. Lili was fantastic! Very helpful and accommodating. The food arrived right on time and it was delicious. I definitely recommend them. read more

This place is really good but it never fails the rice here just isn't what it should be its hard I asked them 3 different times to give me soft rice and yet they still give me hard rice u can't have a toatada and the rice be bad ! Smh I always come here and it's always the rice ugh even though I can get another side it's like rice and the corn are my favorite read more

El Pollo Loco - I wish my food was right - Mexican Near Me - Apple Valley, California

We had seen El Pollo Loco in Miami and walked right out since it was so run down but here in Apple Valley all the locations are new, clean an super nice looking. The chicken is grilled right there in front of you and looks amazing! They have a huge salsa bar filled with different salsas, pico, guac, the best jalepenos ever (huge and bright green!), everything is so fresh and tasty! I had the chicken taco salad, the guys some grilled chicken, tacos and burritos, everything was excellent! The service is great, fast, friendly, the prices are fair, great lunch at a more than fair price! read more

Bomb spot. Im here like once a week and and love it. Only reason for 4 start is because their salsa bar is usually empty. read more

See all

El Pollo Loco - So Large Drink - Mexican Near Me - Apple Valley, California

Ordered the chicken and tortilla combo on the notes I specified which salsas I wanted. Sad to say it came with no tortillas and only 2/3 sauces I requested. When I called them they said I only ordered the chicken. read more

El Pollo Loco - Mexican Near Me - Apple Valley, California

I was shocked when I saw some reviews at this El Pollo Loco because me and my children feel very lucky to live very close to this location. Staffs are VERY friendly (they even brings wet tissue, tooth picks some times) and it is very clean most of the times. I use coupon here and they let me reuse coupons. I don't know what not to like about this wonderful place. Our family agreed in dining table that this place is probably THE BEST fast food restaurant in America. It just has good vibe here, not to mention healthy food they serve(considering fast food restaurant) I do understand that this restaurant has some fast employee turnover ratio and that might mess up some order, but I do not know any fast food restaurant with really long term dedicated employees and moreover, El pollo loco operation is a bit more complicated than most of the fast food burger places so that mistakes might happen. But, having said that their mistakes has gone down very much and I never had an issue with mistakes, I tell them, they correct the mistakes, I am HAPPY. HAPPY CHICKEN~~ everyone! read more

What is happening to El Pollo. We could alway count on good juice chicken. We only go once every couple months, but lately the chicken is always dry. We keep thinking it will get better. Nothing changed yet. I'm just disappointed. read more

The food is horrible. I went by to order a large mash potato as a side. The potatos were burnt and clumpy. I will never do business here again. I should had check yelp before I went. read more

New year new chance. went through the Drive Thur Monday evening and there was no wait and guess what our order was finally right the first time!! Speaker needs to be updated but other than that it was good. This is probably the first time in 8 years that the order came out correctly. I applaud you read more

I come here all of the time because it's convenient, and usually the food is decent and given to us fast. However the customer service is the absolute worst. I have had more negative experiences with the staff here, than good ones. I understand wanting to get food out and keep your line moving quickly but the girl working drive thru tonight snatched the money out of my hand not even stopping to see I had the change and then snatched that out of my hand when I told her. When I was given the food she basically shoved it at me as well. Honestly think this entire el pollo loco needs a new staff and take the time to do a customer service training. read more
