The new loco tenders are a bit expensive as 3 tenders cost about $9, plus three bucks more for a combo. The regular was better than the spicy version. Mashed potatoes Were not great, but guac was good. read more

El Pollo Loco is one of our favorite restaurants, but we can only get there when we are out west, so we were very much looking forward to this meal. Everything was wonderful, but this team is just outstanding, making us feel at home. Thank you for going above and beyond!! read more

I ordered a double chicken bowl with no rice. This is more like a bean soup. Do they not drain the beans when they go on the bowl or is the rice supposed to absorb the bean juice? But regardless what amount of rice would it even take to absorb this amount of bean juice? I just paid $10 for bean soup with chicken cabbage and cheese lol 6/15/25 update after reading Olivia R. Very generic response. I am not sure why you are asking what's wrong? Did you not read the review? read more

Fast service and friendly service especially from the team leader! Keep up the good work!

Excellent service and food,, the server was very personal, very informative... the restaurant is ran very well..

Manager and staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant was very clean. Excellent customer service

I visited El Pollo Loco once a week. I love Alejandra, Karla, and the whole team there. They always make me feel right at home. I moved here from LA and haven't really found good Mexican food. They make it feel like home every time I go in there. Excellent service! read more

Food was great, just priced higher than it should've been. Their placard outside stated "8-piece family meal for $28.99" yet my receipt shows $31.99, $3 more, for the same thing. Also, $3 for a soft drink is pretty steep. We should've went to McDonald's for those at $1.25, less than half the price. I can get a generic brand 2-liter for $1, and they're not bad Lol. Other than the almost $47 price tag for 2 adults, we also bought a small chips & guac for over $4, the food was all pretty decent. They didn't give us napkins for some reason either. Good thing we ate at home and not in the car. read more

Absolutely GROSS! The HUGE chicken burrito with a teaspoon of dark meat chicken! Luckily I opened to add hot sauce and noticed ALL beans, rice & lettuce as fillers. What a RIP OFF! read more

I'm not a big fan of fast food, but El Pollo Loco is an acceptable option when on the move and you do not have much time. And this particular restaurant location is a good one. Clean, the staff is friendly and it's a good location with respect to neighborhoods in the area. Although parking can be an issue at peak times, it is an easy-in easy-out location. The mobile app is pretty good and they always seems to have good specials if you set up an account. Again, would not recommend a fast food restaurant over other options, but if you're in a hurry, this is one I recommend. I will be back. read more

This chicken was so dry i call it chicken jerky. They had no air conditioning.Most of the fountain drinks were watered down. Maybe maricopa county health officials should be called out here also . This is not fit for man or beast!!!! read more

I'm an Ohio transplant, so this place is completely new to me. So far I've been here twice and both times have been incredible. I highly recommend signing up for the app since they give you some deals when you first sign up. But even after they run out, the food is totally worth it. I've had a $5 pollo bowl, a double chicken tostada, and a chicken burrito. The bowl is a tremendous value! I could easily have that with a drink and be satisfied. The other two are also fantastic. Chicken is good quality, as well as the other numerous ingredients. For being a fast food place, I am thoroughly impressed. Move over Taco Bell! El Pollo Loco just moved to the head of the line. read more

They are closed right now for remodeling!!!!! This El Pollo Loco is awesome. They're always kind, quick & the food is great quality. We do drive through a lot and the app is awesome! read more

Ordered 4 piece dark meat meal thru Uber Eat. Received 2 piece white meat. Uber Eats reversed the charge. Today, drive thru same meal ordered & no tortillas or chips. This location may need a refresher training or new management! read more

Haven't been to this location in a year, hoping it was better now. Family ordered chicken tacos. Smallest portion of DRY dark chicken in each taco. Unbelievable! Won't be back read more

Had the double chicken tostada bowl combo.. they forgot the chips so it came with a Coke for $14 The chicken was very dry .. Also ordered 16 piece combo once again the chicken is very dry and the pieces are very small. They must use baby chickens.. Not a very good value being as the portions are very small, but they do give you lots of tortillas .. I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. read more

I used to get a mini cup of beans and a mini cup of rice and two decent pieces of chicken in the two piece meal ...today, I found out they put it in a little carry-tv dinner tray ...Looks like about a quarter cup of beans little over a quarter cup of rice And two very tiny pieces of chicken and they raised the price so they cut down the meal and they raised the price so that's the last time I'll go to El Pollo Loco over on Lake Pleasant Blvd. and happy Valley... do they really think people aren't gonna realize how they cut the food down and still raise the price... shameful read more

The food is pretty good and there is a good variety. The offers on the other hand are deceptive and unprofessional. They offered a burrito day special, which was buy one burrito get one free, then another burrito free anytime during April (2021). But when we tried to redeem the 2nd free burrito, it was nowhere to be found. Researching it we learned that it expired after April 2nd, even though the language stated anytime during April. What an April fools joke on their part. Their food is not THAT good. Update 4/30/2021: I was impressed by the quick reply to this email and the offer to contact their customer service, but doing so led me to a dead link. I tried on my laptop, android phone and iPad. Got to the Contact us page, but all that was there was a 'thought bubble' and the message 'connection has been reset' below it. I attached text from their email offer of 4/1/2021. The EPL app on my phone shows the reward but shows it expired on 4/2/2021. read more

When I'm in a pinch and need a fast, easy and yummy dinner I drive through and get the family meal. I rarely get fast food, but this is a pretty good option. The family meals are good prices and you get a good amount of food - chicken, tortillas (corn or flour), salsa and 3 sides. It's yummy and the red salsa is so good. They have red or green salsa, both have a slight kick. Customer service has been good and fast for the drive through. I've never gone inside, so I can't speak to that. read more

Grande avo bowl was ok ($9.39). Not enough chicken way too much rice and the chicken smells like it's old meat.

Very happy with the food here always. Will, the manager, was so kind with assisting Dawn and her birthday meal. Too kind. Very clean.

One of my friends has been a big fan of El Pollo Loco for years. He says their chicken is the real deal. A few of my other buddies are also fans of El Pollo Loco. I am a chicken fan but not a big fan of fast-food chains. I tried the 3 pieces of Chicken meal. It comes with 2 sides ( mine were rice and pinto beans), Guacamole, 2 small corn tortillas, and Pico de gallo. The size of the Chicken was good. The flavor was good but a little dry. The beans were good after I drained the water off of them. The Guacamole was very watery. The tortillas were flimsy and fell apart as I tried to fill them with rice and beans. I got to try what my friends like. I'll let them enjoy their El Pollo Loco fix without me in the future. read more

They have been closed for a remodel and opened today. I went through drive thru and the girl was so rude. I ordered a two piece chicken meal. When I got home to eat it the chicken was so burnt it was awful. They should have stayed closed a little longer and took some lessons on how to grill chicken. read more

10/10 Great food and great service very very delicious excellent cuisine. Definitely going to come back first time ever trying it in my long life. Just moved to Glendale a few months ago and I'm very happy I found a place I can rely on serving good every time. read more

"This place has such great food that I personally want to thank the chef who made it!" That is from my 10 yo who is really picky about his food. Thank you, el pollo loco! read more

This is the only fast food place that we frequent. I am not sure why it has such poor ratings, it's not fine dining, but it's fresh fast food. read more

Terrible customer service from the manager. I thought I would take my family there to get a family feast. I forget the coupon you get in the mail at home. I go through the drive-through and explain that I forget the coupon but would like that price.(I have forgotten it in the past and they have a coupon there they can scan) The manager goes on to tell me that there is nothing they can do and offers me a one dollar discount. I explained they have done it in the past and he maintains that there is nothing they can do. I tell him that if they can't do it I'm not interested and I will just be gone somewhere else and never return. He turns around and walks away. I think he acted like a child and should've attempted to at least provide the price since it's their coupon anyway. Oh well, that being said I had an excellent meal at chipotle:) The place has been going downhill for years so I will not be coming back read more

I'm so glad I took advantage of free delivery! I didn't think they'd deliver to me as far away as I am. But they use contract delivery service such as door dash in my area and it wasn't a problem at all. Even though I had to call and correct the delivery address I entered because of my fat thumbs. When I called to correct my address, the young lady who answered the phone was very helpful and the driver, Deborah, was very nice. My order got to me quicker than most pizza delivery I get out here on the west sides perimeter. The food was just as I remember it from back in the day at a San Diego location I used to go to quite a bit and was still pretty hot when it was delivered. I'm pretty happy, especially since the location I used to go to here in the valley that was close to me closed down years ago for some unknown reason. One star off because one of my small chip orders was missing. And I forgot to add salsa to my order. If you use the app to order don't forget to add those things. read more

I love el pollo loco and I usually get the same thing. I tried an avocado chicken bowl with no rice. I got a large bowl of beans and corn a few chunks of chicken. I couldn't see the cabbage. It just looked bad but it could've been my mistake. I just won't try that again. 10$ for beans and corn is not a good investment during inflation. You can get a totes chicken at Walmart for 6$ taste almost the same. lol read more

I've been sick the last week and between door dash and friends bringing goodies they have been the best ever. Thanks El pollo loco

I came here one evening and the food was spectacular. I ate every last bite! The staff was splendid and greeted me with "hello welcome as i entered the restaurant. The service was fast and efficient. I will definitely be back! read more

The chicken reminds me of quail legs. When did they get so small? I will ot be going back. Their prices are way to high for what you are getting. Save your money. read more

From ZERO to HERO!! The crew there right now (we just left) is AMAZING!!! From the greeting, to the big genuine smile, to the sincere interaction from the cashier while we ordered who asked: "How is your day going?" to the cooked to PERFECTION chicken, to the steamy hot broccoli, to the rest of the steamy hot food, to the filled to capacity and clean condiment table, to watching an energetic and conscientious employee who cleaned the dining area, to the smile and goodbye that she gave us as we departed, KUDOS to you all!!! If we had this same experience, or even acceptable experiences in the past, we would eat here a LOT more often!! I really don't expect the employees to be so cheery...they are at work!! I don't really like them to be EXPECTED to greet, engage or even say goodbye. I don't like that corporate forces employees to do so. It all typically feels so fake! But, tonight, I felt it was all genuine! I witnessed a sense of pride in their work and a genuine sense of care for their customers!! A RARE find these days!!! The pieces of chicken were an acceptable size this time and, again, cooked to PERFECTION!! I am extremely pleased with out experience tonight primarily because it was so unexpected based on previous experiences (see my previous reviews). KUDOS!!! Keep these employees!! They are an asset to your location!! read more

Love the food here. I get the 2 piece dinner nearly every week. Good price, good salad, good chicken

NOT OPEN. CLISED FOR Remodeling. Website and Telp show as open. We drove 40 minutes to get here at least update your website.

Constantly providing inaccurate order fulfillment. Missing pieces of chicken, missing items ordered, etc. When contacted they say it takes several days for a refund because they have to go through corporate. Be sure to watch for your refund to make sure it comes thru. Not sure why service quality here had dropped so much the past several months. High turnover? New managers? Regardless, 80% of the time the order is wrong. Big hassle. Sad because the food is good. read more

This location sucks! Food is always made half ass and slopped together. So sick of of picking up food from here and having like 3 scraps of chicken on my nachos and soggy churros. Get you crap together! read more
