    Queso Guacamole Chicken Burrito

    An amazing experience. Friendly staff, great portions, delicious food, quick service. Not to mention the welcoming ambiance. I cannot even believe it. Best day of my life.

    TLDR/ Food: Great! Service: Decent, Ambiance: Retro, Sanitation: Clean! This was our first time visiting this El Pollo Loco location. It did not disappoint! The food was served hot, fresh, and filled with flavor. The staff were courteous and gave good recommendations for both food and salsas. I would come here again in a heartbeat and plan to whenever I am in the area! The music was weird mix of classic 50's and 60's ballads and pop that gave me hard #Fallout New Vegas vibe. The tables were constantly being bussed and cleaned by a cheery staff member and the front counter line was not too long of a wait. Ordering was easy, as the cashier was both competent and polite. This is a great El Pollo Loco and I highly recommend them for either brunch or lunch as they have a great selection of quick and delish foods! If you try it out, like me, you will be asking yourself "Seriously, why have I never been here before?" As you stuff your face with tacos, burritos, and the like. Try it, you shall see, and become a Pollo Loco believer, like I am!

    Pomegranate Açai drink, chips & green salsa, and taco al carbon
    Raymond G.

    I went here yesterday early afternoon while I was waiting for a rider to pick up from an international flight. It was different and closer to LAX than my normal place I would usually wait at. The parking close by is a little bit crazy and cramped. But if you maneuver around and find a good spot, that's the only battle I faced. The rest was a wonderful visit here. It was the eye-catching big El Pollo Loco overhead sign that I saw from a close by parking lot, which lured me to here. When I arrived inside the restaurant, there were only two people ahead of me. Before I knew it, I was up to order. The cashier lady helped me order as I was still undecided. Well, when I asked if there were any specials, she said no. But she told me, if you get the 3 tacos al carbon, it comes with tortilla chips and salsa and a fountain drink. Since I am all about tacos, this was an easy yes! These chicken tacos did not disappoint, and I love the medium spice green salsa I put on them as well as the red mild tomato no spice salsa that used on the tacos and dipped my chips! To drink, I had the Pomegranate Açai vitamin water. I love that flavor, so I didn't drink soda. The combo meal was only $7.92 with tax, which is economical these days . I also ordered a BRC burrito and it was so good as well! That put my total up to $13.45, but money well spent! It was cool sitting inside this place. It was clean and comfortable to wait while eating. I think I found a new spot to wait for my riders to come in! I will definitely be back here. Please give them a try too!

    Yelp stated that they were closed. The restaurant said they closed at 9:30 pm. I had an avocado and double chicken salad. My sister had 2 pieces of chicken and 2 sides. She was able to get a keto tortilla. We were very pleased.

Pro Tip: Make sure to order at the counter before you go grab a table! It operates like a standard self-serve joint, so keep that setup in mind when deciding how much you want to tip at checkout . Bacon Jam Burger: Loved the balance of sweet and salty here! Flavor-wise it was great, though I do wish the patties were a bit thicker. Hot Honey Sage Fries: A total hit! If you're a fan of sweet potato fries with a sweet-and-spicy kick, you'll thoroughly enjoy these. Green Chili Queso Fries: Yummy and cheesy, but I wished it leaned a bit heavier on the green chili flavor. Strawberry Guava Lemonade: Highly recommend! So delicious and refreshing. They actually have a really solid adult drink menu with tons of awesome options. Definitely a solid neighborhood spot to add to your burger rotation!

I think that doesn't make a lot of sense, because most places you either get seated and they take your order from the table, or you choose your seats and order. We had a big party and so this can be quite confusing. However we luckily were able to request for certain tables. But this just seemed so pointless to me. I ordered the Wagyu smash and parmesan truffle fries. It's a bit pricey for both. But being the fact the burger had Wagyu, I understood. The burger was ok. Flavor was decent, but nothing special. I actually hated that it was sweet. I think it was the sauce. I was pretty disappointed, and wished I got the classic burger instead. The truffle parmesan fries were good though, and it came in a huge bowl. It can be shared between 2-3 people so I highly suggest splitting the fries when ordering. My friend got the sweet potato and it was ok. The sweet potato wasn't sweet. I'm pretty picky with my sweet potato fries. Service was decent, but the experience was ok to me. I'll probably come back and try the classic cheese burger and try their alcoholic shakes.

I usually get my bowl with white rice and a side of seaweed salad, and it hits every time. Their Spam musubi is also really good if you want a little snack on the side. The gentleman who is usually there (I believe he may be the owner, but I'm not sure) is always so nice and welcoming, not just to me but to everyone who comes in. Great customer service every time. There's seating both inside and outside, and overall it's just an easy, solid neighborhood spot. Grab a poke bowl, add a Spam musubi, and you're good to go. Another neighborhood gem!

They were working through a huge order and let me know upfront that my wait would be around 20-25 minutes. No problem. I sat down and watched this small team move with great energy and real teamwork. Special shoutout to Wadia, who was attentive, apologetic about the delay, and genuinely cared about the experience. Despite the big order ahead of mine, they got my food out in 10 minutes. Friendly fun staff! With awesome service.

    Great Food, Outstanding Service & A Fantastic Family-Friendly Experience…read more Bruxie was such a pleasant experience, and what really stood out to me wasn't just the food--it was how welcoming, attentive, and accommodating the staff were throughout our entire visit. We came in as a family, and the staff did an excellent job making sure we were comfortable while we waited for our food. They checked on us several times to make sure everything was okay, and I especially appreciated how they went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable for our family. They provided coloring materials and games for us to play while we waited, which was such a thoughtful touch. Those little details make a huge difference when you're dining with kids. Instead of feeling like we were simply waiting around for our food, it actually gave us something fun to do together as a family. The service was genuinely friendly without feeling forced. Everyone we interacted with was helpful, patient, and attentive, and they made us feel like they actually cared about our experience. That level of hospitality deserves to be recognized because great customer service can really elevate an otherwise casual meal. And then there was the food! I ordered the Breakfast Burrito with fried chicken, and it was absolutely loaded. Bruxie's breakfast burrito comes packed with eggs, melted cheddar, spiced tots, chipotle mayo, Bruxie cheese sauce, and your choice of protein, and choosing the fried chicken was definitely the right move. (Toast) The fried chicken was cooked superbly. It had a great crispy exterior while still being juicy and flavorful on the inside. What I really enjoyed was how well the chicken worked with the other ingredients in the burrito. You had the richness of the cheese, the texture and seasoning from the tots, the creaminess of the sauces, and the savory fried chicken all coming together in every bite. The burrito was also generously filled, so this wasn't one of those breakfast burritos where you get mostly tortilla with a little filling in the middle. There was plenty of everything, and the flavors actually complemented one another instead of competing. The combination of crispy fried chicken, eggs, cheese, potatoes, and the sauces made it incredibly satisfying. I also appreciate that Bruxie offers a menu that feels fun and different rather than just another standard breakfast or chicken restaurant. Their whole concept revolves around putting creative spins on comfort food, particularly chicken and waffles, while also offering breakfast burritos, chicken sandwiches, tenders, shakes, and other options. (Bruxie) Overall, Bruxie delivered on both the food and the experience. The breakfast burrito was flavorful, filling, and cooked extremely well, but the staff really made the visit memorable. The fact that they took the time to check on us, make sure we had what we needed, and even provide coloring activities and games for the family showed a level of thoughtfulness that you don't always get at a casual restaurant. If you're looking for a spot where you can get some seriously good comfort food while still having a family-friendly and welcoming experience, Bruxie is definitely worth checking out. Great food. Great service. Great family atmosphere. And that fried chicken breakfast burrito is absolutely worth trying.

    A WONDERFUL SURPRISE -- SHAKE SHACK…read more I have to say, I was completely surprised by how much I enjoyed my experience at Shake Shack. I actually discovered this location by accident. I was planning to eat at Wood Ranch in Manhattan Beach, but they were extremely busy and there were no tables available. So I decided to give Shake Shack a try--and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, relaxed, and friendly. The employees were exceptionally kind, polite, helpful, and attentive. You can really feel that they want their customers to have a good experience. What impressed me most was the attitude of the staff. For example, if your fries happen to arrive cold, they don't give you an attitude or make you feel like you're bothering them. They'll replace them with a smile. That's the kind of customer service that makes a difference. And the food? WOW! The burger is absolutely delicious. It's juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. Is it a little expensive compared with an average hamburger joint? Absolutely. Shake Shack is not the cheapest place to grab a burger. But honestly, I think it's worth it. You're not just paying for a hamburger. You're paying for the quality of the food, the atmosphere, the cleanliness, the experience, and--most importantly--the way you're treated. And if you're coming with children, this place is even better. They have foosball that you can play for free, which is a fantastic touch. It gives families something fun to do while enjoying their meal. And then there's the milkshake... OH. MY. GOD. The milkshake and ice cream are extraordinary! Seriously, this is one of those desserts that makes you stop and say, "Wow, this is really good." What started as a backup plan because another restaurant was too crowded turned into a fantastic discovery. Sometimes the best restaurants are the ones you find completely by accident. Shake Shack, you earned my five stars. Great food. Wonderful atmosphere. Excellent customer service. Friendly and respectful employees. Family-friendly environment. And an incredible milkshake. Yes, it's more expensive than your average burger place--but for me, the overall experience makes it worth it. I would absolutely come back, and I would happily recommend this place to friends, families, and anyone looking for a really good burger and a welcoming atmosphere.
