    Small chicken wing smaller than a finger
    Brandon V.

    I came here on 11/12/25 at 1:20ish pm. I ordered the 2pc meal, order number 8651. I told the guy at the counter wearing a head set for drive though that they made a mistake because my chicken wing was a miniature one almost a baby chick size wing. He refused to give me a full sized wing. I paid almost 14 dollars for this kind of stuff and they take people as a Joke this place is bad! don't come here, unless you want to have a bad experience.

    This location has really bad reviews, but I've been here quite a bit and have not had any negative experiences so far. I've only gone through the drive thru, maybe the experience inside vary. The cashiers have been polite and friendly when placing orders, as well as at the pick up window. Overall I feel like pollo loco prices are fair, and really like their $5 bowls, especially the street corn version. Great for a quick and somewhat healthier version of lunch.

    What's left of the burnt sparse chicken in the Chipotle Guacamole Chicken Burrito. There was zero Chipotle.
    Shawna C.

    Darn! I should've checked the Yelp before getting excited and driving to this el pollo loco for the special they emailed me for a " today only deal $10 chipotle guacamole chicken burrito combo". The chicken was burnt and that burnt flavor just does not go away for a while once it hits the taste buds. Only half the burrito had meat the other half was beans and lettuce. Not much guacamole overall either. The chips are perfect and so is the Diet Coke. I better stick with the grilled chicken. Lesson learned

    Tortilla chips
    Tom A.

    For the most part this location is ok with food preparation, wait time and value. However, today I got a combo burrito meal that includes chips and drinks. Here's what I got in the chip bag (see photo). Chips are cheap, fill up your bags

    Regular chicken tostada salad
    Jessica G.

    I needed some lunch today. I haven't been able to eat so I decided on El Pollo Loco cause I haven't had it in a while. I chose the regular tostada salad. They added some sour cream this time which I don't remember them ever doing before, but I've been to this location the most I don't know why I've never written a review for them, but they're always really nice here. I went through the drive-through so I can take my food to the park and eat. It's a beautiful day and I'm starving. I needed something healthiest but still tasty. It definitely hit the spot the guy at the window was really nice and friendly and asked me if I want chips and guac but I decided against it. I'm enjoying my meal right now. Thank you so much for the wonderful service. The food is usually consistent. Parking lot is pretty busy always but I like this location they always make the food pretty good. Thank you for wonderful service and delicious food. Have a beautiful day :) Aloha

    The Original POLLO BOWL
    Rick L.

    This time at this location our Pollo Bowls were very good. And looked presentable. While everything has gotten smaller there was a decent amount of chicken and mix of beans and rice. Sometimes they add too much rice. The Pollo Bowl combo with tortillas and a drink is still the best value on the menu at $5.29. Up from $5.00 but I have seen this special as high as $7.00 now. Which sucks. The place was packed for lunch.

    Not a tostada salad, just regular.

    Food tastes good and service is good, but I'm only use the drive-thru because I hate those kiosks and that's the only way to order inside.

The place is easy to get to, in the parking garage is right next to it, so no problem there. Bruxie was open and airy, with indoor and outdoor seating. It was a beautiful, cool and breezy day, so we opted to sit outside. We ordered at the counter, and then the food was brought to us. My. +1 ordered the chicken waffles, which came with two large pieces of chicken, a good sized, waffle, and plenty of syrup. We order a smaller kid-sized portion for our Little. I thought I would try the Super Cluck, which was basically a chicken and waffle sandwich, but it came with bacon, an egg over easy, and melted slices of cheddar cheese. I'm not sure that I would order it again because there were other things on the menu that looked delicious, but I was hungry after a workout and wanted all of the proteins. The sliced cheese melted into the waffle was a little weird, but it was I'll filling. Overall, we all ate our fill (and then some), and the pricing was pretty reasonable for what we got. We didn't even have room for popcorn at the movie afterwards!

For some reason the refinery spend their 40 minutes cooking the hell out of my burger, and they could even put the tooth pick in the middle of my burger, like is it that hard to stab my burger in the middle. I honestly don't know how The Refinery inside the Hilton in Brea manages to stay open. This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. First off, the place looks nice when you walk in, but that's where the positives end. The service was painfully slow -- not the "busy restaurant" kind of slow, but the "did anyone remember we're here?" kind. We waited forever just to get water, and it somehow took even longer for the food. Then the food actually showed up... and wow. Bland, overpriced, and somehow still cold. It tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp since last week. For a restaurant attached to a Hilton, I expected at least basic quality, but this felt like cafeteria food with steakhouse prices. To make things worse, the staff acted like helping customers was a huge inconvenience. No check-ins, no refills, no effort. Just vibes of "please eat and leave." Between the slow service, disappointing food, and ridiculous prices, this place feels like a tourist trap hiding in a hotel lobby. Save your money and eat literally anywhere else in Brea. Even a gas station snack run would be a better experience.

Keep in mind it's the same guy who we spoke to. He's saying that he didn't say that on the phone and that he won't take our order. So I repeat our conversation word for word as he's now trying to say that isn't what he said. He then says, "I spoke to the cook and well take your order." I go up to the window to pay to pay with Apple Pay and the dude aggressively grabs my phone and is obviously in some sort of mood about the situation. Tells us to go park and he will bring us the food. He brings us the food and is being snarky and laughing and just acting like a dick. I come here decently often so it's pretty lame to see. Do better...If you don't want to serve someone. Tell them when they call that you close the kitchen so they don't waste their time driving down then have to put up with a snarky teenager who obviously loves his job very much.
