    Always double check order . Today I ordered a double chicken AVOCADO salad . They forgot to put the avocado . Last week I asked and was charged for 2 cilantro dressings ...they forgot both -July 18 2018 -went today to same location. Asked for a classic Pollo bowl , received this : a bowl of beans and chicken crumbs.

    I haven't been to a Pollo Loco in years. We used to have them in Albuquerque, but they closed about 15 years ago, so the only time I got to enjoy it was when going to Southern California. But to my surprise, they are in Texas! Tried our favorites the two and three piece chicken combo's with beans, Rice and a tortilla. The chicken was good just like I remember it. But somehow, They managed to serve the beans almost cold! How do you mess up warming up beans? Hence the three stars.

    Out of all the fast food chicken joints on Boca Chica Blvd, Pollo Loco reigns above the rest! The chicken is marinated over night and grilled right in front of you on an open flame. The sides are just as flavorful; the mac n cheese is a clear winner (better than Lubys). They have a salsa bar to condiment your dishes with. Plus they have a strong selection of hearty salads for the salad lover in you. These people at Pollo Loco are grilling up delicious golden chicken to perfection, belive it that its worth dropping by and give em a taste next time you think of chicken!

    Wonderful, moist, hot perfectly seasoned chicken!

    It's no chipotle or free birds, but it'll help quell those monster burrito cravings especially if you only have time for some drive-thru.

    A Hidden Gem of Authentic Mexican Flavor and Elevated Hospitality…read more If you're searching for a truly unforgettable dining experience, look no further than this incredible spot. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and enthusiasm that set the tone for an exceptional evening. Let's talk about the food: the grilled octopus was nothing short of perfection--expertly charred on the outside, tender on the inside, and paired beautifully with fresh, vibrant microgreens. Every bite was a masterclass in balance and flavor, showcasing the kind of culinary skill that can only come from recipes passed down through generations. The authentic Mexican flavors here are deeply rooted in tradition, yet elevated with a modern touch. It's clear the chef-owner has honed their craft under Michelin-starred mentors. That level of expertise comes through in every dish--from the nuanced seasoning to the thoughtful plating. And then there's the drink: La Paloma de Mi Corazón--hands down one of the most refreshing, clean-tasting cocktails I've ever had. Bartender Benito is a true artist behind the bar, blending flavors with precision and passion. He absolutely rocked that drink! The customer service was exceptional throughout. Attentive without being overbearing, every staff member made us feel genuinely cared for. It's rare to find a restaurant where both the front and back of house operate in perfect harmony. Whether you're a local foodie or just passing through, this place is a must-visit. Authentic, elevated, and unforgettable. Can't wait to come back.
