    Que ironía, un burrito del Pollo Loco sin pollo ‍

    es mejor que eviten visitar este lugar, no les pusieron pollo a mis burritos. fui por unos burritos un día en la noche como a las 9:45 pm, y al llegar a mi casa y comer notamos que no tenían pollo, regresé a los dos días y pedí hablar con el encargado para comentarle lo que pasó, el encargado de nombre raudel g. se molestó y me pidió que a la otra regresé ese día o llame por teléfono, creo que no debe haber ninguna otra vez, con los que tiene que hablar son los cocineros para que eso no vuelva a pasar. el señor raudel g. no se comportó como un encargado profecional, sin su mal manejo de la situación no me hubieran perdido como cliente. it's best you avoid visiting this place. they didn't put any chicken in my burritos. i went to get some burritos one night around 9:45 pm, and when i got home and ate, we noticed they didn't have any chicken. i returned two days later and asked to speak to the manager to tell him what had happened. the manager, named raudel g., got upset and asked me to come back that day or call him. i don't think there should be another time. the ones you should be talking to are the cooks so this doesn't happen again. mr. raudel g. did not behave like a professional manager, without his poor handling of the situation they would not have lost me as a client.

    Burnt and dry chicken

    One can generally rely on any pollo loco to be consistent and fresh but not tonight ,we bought a 8 piece family meal , it looks like they gave us a previously cooked chicken and tried to re grill it , we open the container to find a dry burnt chi

    After having a bad experience at the Pollo Loco in Montebello, my family and I decided to try the Pollo Loco here in Rosemead. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was good. I really recommend this location. I live in Montebello and the drive was worth it. I had a good meal with my family.

    Dry chicken

    I want to update my review. It is only fair to do so as I was contacted by the Manager of El Pollo Loco. Which was unexpected. I find that very professional and excellent as a customer service quality. The manager and I talked about the dispute I had with his Assistant Manager. He re-assured me that they do not serve recooked chicken. Which was one of my concerns. He also stated that he will make sure that the quality of the chicken is excellent. I did failed to mention that the assistant manager did offer to replace my meal when we had the dispute. The Manager was very understanding and helpful. He did offer a meal replacement or to give me my money back. He was very pleasant to talk to and he apologized for my several bad experiences in the past. The customer service he provided today was excellent. As for the Assistant Manager Maria when we had the dispute she was professional about it as well. So far I am very pleased with the customer service I have received after my review was taken into consideration. For their customer service they do receive a 5 stars from me. As for the chicken I do not know when I will buy chicken from here again. It was nice of the Manager to tell me to call him if I want to buy chicken from there again.

    Small burrito. It's just a little bigger than my fingers Their pollo bowl didn't have pollo just enough to taste the chicken. Our order was all bad. Take a look at the so call burrito. It's so small. WTH pollo loco get together.

    Can't ever go wrong with the chicken tostada, especially at this location the service is always amazing and fast. I've been here in the afternoon, and evening with different staff but This is one of the best Pollo Loco I've been to and the store is always clean because of how they work and the management that takes care of this place, they also added a new color which is pretty cool and the app is always great for some deals. Check them out for sure.

You could really taste the tomatillo flavor. The red ones were also tasty. I ordered the medium ones just in case they were too spicy but not spice at all. I will definitely ordered the hot ones next time! We also ordered the mollete with chorizo and cheese!! Another great dish!!! All the right flavors!!! Service is good. They greet you and ask if dining in or for take out. We ate there so she assigned us a table and said to order first then we sit down. Very efficient and quick ordering system. Lots of tables available to sit at. There are three sections available.

Although it is very common for restaurants to put the person with the least amount of customer service skills on the front, this restaurant takes the cake. Then we get our chilaquiles (I got red, girlfriend green), I realized they used cheese similar to Monterey or mozzarella (white grated cheese) on our food. Now, I my family is from Guadalajara and DF, we don't use that cheese on chilaquiles soni was very disappointed because I immediately hated the food. We ate because we had already paid but I didn't like it and my girlfriend told me we should've gone to El Guajillo or La Casa de la Abuela in Huntington Park even though we live in Whittier. The I look at the photos and I see they do use queso fresco on chilaquiles, so why did ours came with a different cheese?! If they run out we should've been informed and if it was an option we were not told. If you want real chilaquiles and good service check El Guajillo or La Casa de la Abuela both in Huntington Park

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.
