Food in the trash
Lashandra H.

I had the most disgusting food order ever yesterday!!! I have been to this location many times before and have never been disappointed. However, not on 9/14/24 at 9:07 pm! I went through the drive through and ordered a chicken avocado taco and a classic tostada with avocado. I had ordered this before and it was a go to for me. The person working the drive through (a young female in a black El Pollo Loco shirt and fringed jeans) was RUDE! The way she slung my food out of the window and closed it was nasty work! She then preceded to grab her phone, look at it and walk away. When I got my food home, I was disgusted! When I bit the taco, I realized it was ice cold then I looked inside of it, that's when my stomach started to roll! It looked like someone vomited in it! The avocados were old, soft and brown and the chicken was hard as a rock. So, I put that to the side and thought "maybe the tostada is better" but NO! I looked at it and it had more old, soft, and brown avocados on it! The spanish rice was hard and stuck together! The beans were dried out and none of the ingredients looked fresh AT ALL! I didn't even bother to put that in my mouth at all, it just looked too disgusting! I spent (wasted) $17.61 on this mess and I am beyond upset. I didn't take it back because the location was not convenient to my home, but when I called no one answered the phone! I would NOT recommend going here!

3 pieces
Stephen W.

We tried this place for lunch because I had a Groupon cash back deal (yes, it really works). I was expecting food that is more Mexican given the name. The chicken is ordinary chicken cooked on a grill. The skin was crispy but did not have much flavor because it was not seasoned. I thought there would be Mexican seasoning or something. They offer tortillas and there is a salsa bar, but that to me does not warrant the Mexican name. My chicken was good, not quite as tender or juicy as Cowboy chicken, but it was not bad by any means. The mashed potatoes were made from a box. The corn was interesting and along the Mexican theme. The wife's chicken avocado bowl was good and she enjoyed it, but I am not sure it is better than Chipotle. The restaurant was clean and the service was fine. Overall, we had a perfectly fine lunch but it certainly is nothing special.

3 piece leg and thigh combo. Oh yeah! Don't forget the Churros!
Mikhael W.

Never heard of this place but it popped up down the street from my job, so why not give it a try? I was a little apprehensive after reading ALL 3 reviews, but later found out that it was a lot better than I had planned for. I got the 3 piece (yes I was starving) leg and thigh combo with a drink, rice and beans, corn tortillas, and 2 Churros. The chicken was juicy with crispy skin. The cilantro sauce that comes with your meal was PHENOMENAL!! The rice and beans were...meh. I haven't had Churros in a long time, so it came to me with great satisfaction to revisit my childhood. Overall the food was good. Everything, except for the Churros, of course, was really lacking in salt...kind of bland. My purse isn't complaining. Where can you get a filling lunch, a drink, and dessert for UNDER $10 in Dallas? I'll definitely return...I'll probably try different.

Chicken nachos taste very good!
Deidra O.

The food is good. However we got a couple of jalapeños in the food that made it extra spicy and I wasn't prepared for that. I usually get the chicken avocado burrito and it's really delicious! Today I got the chicken nachos and they were really tasty! Plenty of chicken and it was hot

We normally go to this place lunch or early dinner. The food was great. Today we tried the drive-thru. Worst decision of our life. We got dried out chicken and hard mexican rice. They seem to give out the old stock to people who will not be able to complain to management. We bought our food around 7 pm. Still too early to get old stock. If they care about their customers, they should give the good food whether you dine-in or use the drive thru.

Homemade Chicken Tortilla Soup
Theresa A.

Chicken Soup - broth, real broth, not gummy whatever other places serve you! Chicken, it looks real! Tortilla slivers, on the side so when I can find something to eat when I'm trying to stay on keto. And hot! And a big serving without potatoes, although there are random pieces of corn, I'm ok with that. Big, so I won't be hungry later on. Thank you, thank you!

The fake ten dollar bill that was given to me.

See all

Great food. Inexpensive and great customer service. I'm happy that it's here in Texas. I used to go in California all the time.

Food is great. The service is not so great. It does not live up to the standard of El Polo Locos out west.
