    What time is it? Time for lunch!
    Ernest R.

    My favorite lunch spot! Drive-thru is always quick and clean. The chicken tostada salads are great. The staff takes accurate orders and offers good add-ons and suggestions.

    Tostada bowl
    Lesley Michelle T.

    Cheap, delicious and does not feel heavy like typical junk food would. El Pollo Loco quickly became my obsession when I moved to Vegas. Even my picky family members love it. My little sis loves the mac & cheese and we all LOVE the chicken. Service is quick. Ambiance depends on the location but it is not fancy, just like a regular fast food joint. There's dine in and drive thru options! Warning: you might get addicted & want this for lunch every day The best part is their citrus-marinated, fire-grilled chicken. Hubby always gets the 4pcs meal which comes with half a chicken, 2 sides & a drink (he always gets rice & beans) $11.39 in my area. You can say no drink and itll be $1.5 less. I get the classic tostada bowl BUT my trick is to steal 1 pc chicken from my baby bc the chicken in the bowl is not the same as the actual chicken piece!!! It's still good but the chicken piece is way juicier my tostada was $7.49 and our total came out to $20.46. Ps: do NOT miss out on the amazing sauces! My favorite is the creamy cilantro sauce and 2nd fave is the avocado sauce 10/10 i would 1000xs recommend because the taste is immaculate, the price is affordable & in my opinion under priced but I'm not complaining!

    I just love the grilled chicken at El Pollo Loco - I used to regularly get their chicken when I lived near one, but sadly, I moved and the closest one is about an hour away. I recently stopped by this El Pollo Loco after driving to Las Vegas and the chicken was just as good as I remember it. The skin was nice and crisp, and the meat was juicy and flavorful. I'm deducting a star because the rice as a little on the dry side, but the chicken/tortillas/salsa are fantastic.

    This is a Crispy Shredded chicken taco

    1 star because this was the most disgusting taco I've ever eaten! Crispy Shredded chicken taco was cold, Greasy, soggy lettuce and tomatoes. Not much left to say except picture says it all. Nothing even Crispy about this soggy old taco.

    I only ate one of the two birds in the name, but it was still very good…read more Pelicana Chicken is a fried chicken brand originally from Korea that opened this Las Vegas outpost over two years ago. I must have missed it since I tried Top Sushi & Oyster 2 next door a few months before then. That helped me find this spot pretty easily, and fortunately there was plenty of parking in the off-peak mid-afternoon. This is a sit-down establishment unless you're ordering takeout, so sit down, relax, and enjoy the music which I almost didn't recognize at all but is probably some sort of 2010s-present American since I finally heard a Panic at the Disco track near meal's end. I went with the Original Banban Chicken ($31.00), which is only available as the whole chicken size. But with a Banban order, you can get half not sauced and half tossed in your sauce of choice. I chose Signature per my friend's recommendation and enjoyed it a lot. It's sweet, mildly spicy (basically not at all for me, and I'm sensitive), and garlicky, and they coat the chicken in enough of it that you can dip the exposed surfaces post-bite to get consistent sauce flavor. The chicken itself is great. The skin is crispy and stays so on the regular pieces - better observed on the non-sauced pieces, but still present on sauced - and they intentionally cut and prep a separate piece of skin separately to give you one bite of the optimal texture. The meat is mostly juicy, especially that drumstick, although I may have had a slightly dry chicken oyster either due to overcooking or waiting. Oh, and the pickled radish cubes are really great for cleansing your palate between bites without using a beverage. I started off using them only after multiple bites, then wound up using the rest every other bite, and I still had several left over. If you do opt for a beverage though, the Mango Sparkling-Ade ($5.50) is a solid choice. It definitely tastes like mango and has some carbonation, and it isn't too sweet. I wish that the Hallabong wasn't out of stock though, as I really like citrus. They also offer complimentary iced water. Pelicana Chicken is a great choice for Korean fried chicken in a town where those kinds of places seem to vanish for some reason. I'll have to come back to try more sauces and maybe check out some of the other miscellaneous food options.

You say you don't know the reason either??????????? There are only one table of customers at 9 p.m. on Saturday???? I think the order came in after the complaint. In the end, I got it at 9:30. Chicken comes out in an average of 15 to 25 minutes. There is no order for a table, but it's 50 minutes?? But there is no apology when I go. I want you to think about why the business doesn't work.

    Very efficient restaurant with great hospitality!…read more I've visited several times now, mostly through the drive thru. But on this last visit, I chose inside. I was blown away at the attentiveness, attention, & friendliness exhibited by not one, but all of the folks working here.

Despite the low price, the chicken was juicy and the seasonings were delicious. The "liftoff" is properly spicy, and there's even a spicy 2 million scoville option if you really like heat. The staff were friendly, helpful in answering questions, and quickly brought the food to the table. The restaurant was surprisingly uncrowded for lunch time. I am definitely planning to come back again. The negative is that they don't seem to offer any traditional bone-in chicken. Not an issue for me, but it could be for some.

Cane's Las Vegas, do better.

Sometimes it's legit, other times it's a waste of money. Unfortunately my most recent visits have been lackluster. Sometimes they charge for honey or sauce, other times they don't. The prices are a bit ridiculous, especially for the lemonade. Sometimes food is hot, like fresh out of the frier, the fries are crispy and perfect. Other times, fries are kinda mushy and blah. Chicken is thin and dry. My most recent visit, I didn't tip. I'm low on cash, and a $20 sandwich place should be paying their people fairly. You order standing up, bus your own table etc. so what are you tipping for exactly? I've got fatigue in the subject. Anyway, The guy was suddenly visibly irritated when he gave me my number stick. The friendly person I talked to 20 seconds ago was gone. My friend did tip. Friendly guy stayed friendly. His meal came out first even though I had ordered before him. No big deal. His and my food were actually photo worthy to show the difference. His fries were golden brown, the chicken looked awesome... mine? Fries were old and bendy. Sandwich was thin and seriously jerky like texture. The cashier guy even came to our table and specifically stood with his back to me, and over the top after like - asked my friend how his fusion fries and meal were, if he needed sauce or anything else to make his meal more enjoyable. Then turned so he didn't make eye contact with me and walked away. My friend and I started busting up. It was so unnecessarily passive aggressive. My takeaway - if they take it that far to your face, you are they doing in the back. Loud and clear, I'll go elsewhere.

The special comes with two choices of meat, a side, and a drink. I ordered double shrimp and swapped the potatoes for extra corn. One thing I really appreciated was how flexible they were with substitutions. Most places don't allow any changes on lunch specials, so it was nice that they weren't overly strict about it. The shrimp tasted fresh, and I love that they're cleaned properly. I stopped going to Hot N Juicy because the shrimp often came out mushy, and they didn't remove the digestive tract. The quality here was noticeably better. As for the food itself, it's a solid 5 out of 5, especially for the price. However, I'm giving the overall experience 3 stars because the service could be a little better. I also prefer sitting in a booth whenever possible, so I naturally asked for one. Unfortunately, the booths are in need of some restoration or replacement. The seat cushions felt completely worn out as if the padding disappeared but the leather remained. The backrest was unstable, and I honestly felt like it might break if I leaned back too hard. There was a noticeable gap in the seat that I tried to push closed, but it didn't help. I took a photo to better show what I mean. If you're a booth person like I am, you may want to choose a regular table and chairs instead. Overall, great food, generous lunch special pricing, and fresh, well-cleaned shrimp. If they improve the service and update the booths, this place could easily earn a higher rating from me.
