    Burnt chicken

    Went through the drive thru ordered 3 piece leg and thigh meal. The chicken was so dry and burnt with charcoal . They also forgot my tortillas but after one piece of chicken did not need them. I tried calling a couple of times but no one answered the phone so I left a voicemail message.

    I was in the area and drove thru for lunch. I was the only one in the drive thru and it took a couple of minutes for someone to ask for my order, and when she did, she was a little hard to hear. I am blaming masks as these are covid times. Though I appreciate places adhering to regulations. Anywho, I ordered the double chicken avocado salad with no sour cream and some avocado salsa. I was a little disappointed to see that they had put on sour cream and attempted to scrape it off, but the salad looked great. The container is a bit deceiving, as there is a lot more food in there than initially thought. The chicken was hot and fresh and had a lovely grilled flavor. The veggies were crunchy and I love cotija cheese. I would skip the citrus vinaigrette, it is pretty sweet for a vinaigrette, but they gave me plenty of the avocado salsa. It was good. It was really good. Fast food salsas rarely look like the picture or live up to expectations, but this absolutely did. It was fast, it was fresh, and after looking up the nutritional info, makes for a very healthy lunch. Again, not something fast food salads are known for. I will definitely come here again.

    We didn't order this, someone else behind me did and it looked and smelled so good I had to take a picture. :)

    I was pumping gas right next to El Pollo Loco and saw that it was open for business, it was their grand opening actually. So I decided to stop on in to see what it was about. After walking in, we decided to look over the menu and decided to try it. They have a pretty cool setup when you walk in. They have this massive grill where all of these chickens are cooking in front of you as you are ordering. The chicken looks and smells amazing. We ordered the double chicken avocado salad and 2 chicken tacos and chips and queso. The Verdict: There must have been some communication error because I didn't get the double chicken avocado salad, we got the double chicken bowl. My wife wanted the one with corn in it. Regardless the chicken in that salad was really good. It was a good salad even though it was the wrong salad. The chicken tacos weren't all that though. They lacked flavor and there was no char to my tortillas. I don't like my tortillas raw, I like them warm and with a nice char to them. The queso was 'meh', not really all that. Their salsa verde at the salsa bar needed something, I just can't put my finger on it, but it wasn't all that either. It had NO heat to it. We may go back for the salad, and definitely some chicken pieces, but not for the chips and queso and if I order the tacos again, I will have to ask them to put those tortillas on the grill for a bit.

    They have a nice clean dining area set up with social distancing and they are allowing dining in. Their food is freshly prepared and the counter staff is always friendly. I think it's cool that every time I have had lunch here a staff member comes out into the dining room and stops to check on every table. That's top notch service and uncommon for fast food, I really like it. An added plus is El Apollo Loco has sweetened iced tea! I always appreciate that. I like their chicken nachos but I have to admit that beef nachos are still my favorite. The chips are a different texture that I'm accustomed to. These aren't light, crispy tortilla chips, they're thick and don't have added seasoning. The salsa helps and there are mild to spicy choices. I definitely like the way they do fast food here, it's excellent. Just on a side note the music is pumped up loud in here each time I've been.

    My first visit here, and I liked the set up and decor in here right away. It's a spacious and open establishment, and clean as well. I came at a time when it was not busy, so I received my order fairly quickly. My sides were good, the salad was crispy but the chicken was a little on the dry side. I had to put salsa on one piece to give it moisture, which I've never done before, and it actually is good with the house salsa.

    After living in Arlington, Texas, for 10 years, I have finally enjoyed a great, first-time, meal at…read moreMariano's Hacienda Ranch (Tex-Mex Cuisine). I can't believe that I've never before visited Mariano's Hacienda Ranch. I've been missing out on some great Tex-Mex! I knew I was going to have a great meal when I got out of the car and smelled the Mesquite smoke from the grill that Mariano's uses. The food was awesome and delicious. My Margarita was tasty, with a very generous pour of Tequila. The two salsas, traditional and warm chipotle, were fresh, with vibrant flavors of tomatoes, chilies, onions, cilantro. The guacamole was the perfect combination of avacado, lime, salt, cilantro, and onion. Our queso came with dollops of sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and Picadillo ground beef. My lovely Wife had 3 Shrimp en Brochette with a Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada. She was overjoyed with her flavorful Mariano's Hacienda Ranch Tex-Mex dinner! I was so very happy with my delicious Beef Fajitas (they used tender outside skirt steak) with onions and peppers, all grilled over Mesquite coals. The flavors of Mesquite permeated my fajitas with smoky, sweet goodness, while the marinated meat was grilled perfectly over high heat, to yield juicy, seared, melt-in-your-mouth, beef flavor. Service was friendly and professional. Our meal was relatively inexpensive, offering great value for the high quality of the very tasty Tex-Mex cuisine. I have a new favorite Tex-Mex restaurant in Arlington/North Texas. I offer my highest recommendation of Mariano's Hacienda Ranch in Arlington, Texas, at Hwy 360 & Majesty Drive. I can't wait to go back (especially for the Mesquite grilled Tex-Mex meals).

    Mariano's Hacienda Ranch is my favorite Tex-Mex restaurant. I've eaten fajitas all over Texas, and…read morein my opinion they have the best fajitas in this galaxy. No exaggeration. Everything starts with the fire-roasted salsa. That stuff is ridiculous. I'd pour it over a 2x4 and eat it. Smoky, fresh, and addictive. I have to stop myself from filling up on chips before the food arrives. The fajitas are the star of the show. Tender, flavorful, and consistently excellent every single time. This is one of those places where you don't need to study the menu. Just order the fajitas and thank me later. The service is always good too. The staff is friendly, attentive, and keeps everything moving without hovering over your table. If Mariano's ever changes their fajita recipe, I'm prepared to testify before Congress. Until then, this place gets an easy five stars from me.

The restaurant itself is always clean and orderly. And the staff is always friendly and efficient. My favorite go-tos are the Queso Blanco and the Chicken Fajitas. The Queso is second to none. The Chicken Fajitas always have a nice wood grilled flavor to them that is sure to please you! A few times I have made it to dessert, but not very often. My favorite dessert herebis the churros. They are delicious in their own right, but they also give you different dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or even a vanilla cream. They are served hot and fresh!

Walking in, the restaurant immediately impressed us--it was spotless, bright, and very well organized. I loved seeing the area where they make fresh homemade flour tortillas; it really added to the authentic atmosphere. We were warmly greeted by the hostess, Ms. Chloe, whose friendly smile set the tone for a pleasant visit, and she quickly seated us in a cozy booth in Ms. Rebecca's section. Rebecca was attentive, kind, and efficient throughout our meal, bringing water, chips, and salsa right away and giving us time to comfortably look over the menu. We ordered a side of guacamole, bacon-wrapped shrimp, and the lunch beef burrito with Spanish rice. Although I'm not a seafood eater, my daughter absolutely loved the shrimp and finished every bite, which says a lot. The guacamole was fresh and the overall experience--from the service to the atmosphere--was very enjoyable. The only disappointment for me was the ground beef burrito. It was a bit underwhelming and didn't have the flavor I was hoping for, and I wished I had chosen the steak instead. On a future visit, I'd happily return but will definitely skip the ground beef option and try something else from the menu.

The food is consistently excellent, and we really appreciate that they maintain such high quality every time we visit. Depending on how busy the restaurant is, we'll either wait for a booth or sit at the bar. Unfortunately, we've repeatedly had disappointing experiences with the service at the bar. At first, we assumed it was just an off night, but it's happened several times with the same bartender. We've also noticed that the male bartender seems much more attentive and friendly toward other guests, particularly a group of women seated next to us, which made the difference in service even more noticeable. Despite these experiences, we've continued to tip 20% because the food is always great, and we've never sent anything back. We genuinely enjoy this restaurant and want to keep coming back. I just wish I didn't feel disappointed whenever we end up having to sit at the bar.
