    What meat and skin I got off the wing.
    Desylyn P.

    Order through drive thru today for lunch. Fast but customer service is lacking. Fast food people have no care of communication. Got the two piece with breast and wing rice and Mac n cheese. Get home and I open it to share with husband and what the heck. I know wings are small but literally no meat. Disappointed.

    I often stop in at El Pollo Loco wherever I might happen to be for a quick, healthy and inexpensive meal. so on a recent stay up in the Rancho Cordova area, I decided to have dinner at the closest El Pollo Loco. Typically, the food is pretty much the same wherever you go, but it turned out that the chicken I ordered at this particular location was one of the juiciest and tastiest I think I have ever had. The lay out of the restaurant also varies from location to location, and this one seemed to be especially nice. It was well maintained and clean throughout.

    Food was super bland. Chicken was cold and dry ‍ NEW Citrus Avocado Fresca Salad was very trash .

    Super trash and u know it's bad when your kittens don't wanna eat the chicken out of it. Had to add Italian dressing to it just to add flavor

    Thermostat colder inside restaurant than it is outside

    Terrible experience as we walk in there are 3 unhouse people sitting right at the door. We order our food where the cashier had her headsets in. She hand me my cup with her finger in it. Your cook has their hood on while they are cooking. Same cashier bent down picked up trash off the floor didn't wash her hands. Proceeded to put gloves on to go make food. I guess they don't want people to dine I'm It's colder in the restaurant than it is.

    I came to try this El Pollo for the first time, I am visiting from other state from NY we also have this and I can say they were okay in NY. When I tried here in Sacramento. I was delighted that the amount of food that we had are plenty enough to feed our family of 3. I mean, look at this?! When I tasted it it is even better in Sacramento. The chicken is so delicious, juicy and moist. The sides are yummy too! I will come back not only because of the delicious food, It is also because of the friendly staff and the Manager Mike is also friendly.

    Double Chicken Tostada Salad

    Staff here is always friendly and helpful and more importantly the food is always on point. I highly recommend the double chicken tostada salad and the churros(always nice & warm and crispy).

    Some of the best grilled chicken around. Fresh and delish. Great menu options too. Not your average fast food, for sure.

    Just discovered this spot and OMGEE!!! everyone needs to know about it. The chicken here is…read moreseriously some of the best I've had !!perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and just overall amazing. Shout out to the guy at the drive-thru for the top-tier customer service. Friendly, upbeat, and made the whole experience even better. Also, the restaurant itself is really cool. The outside catches your attention right away and the inside has a fun vibe that makes it stand out. If you love great chicken, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Definitely coming back!

    I've heard a lot of mixed reviews so I had to check it out! The service was really good. The kid at…read morethe counter knew it was my first time and explained some popular items he recommended. So I ordered some tenders, fries, buffalo fries and mozzarella sticks. It was decent. The tenders are surprisingly spicy even for mild! I was kinda shocked how much seasoning it had... a little too much for me. I do appreciate the quality of the chicken as it was "real" chicken, not that fake meat lol. The mozzarella sticks also just ok... too much seasoning but it had a fun cheese pull. The only item I loved was the buffalo fries! YUM. Seriously, Buffalo fries WITH mac n cheese on top!!!!! So good! Inside had a cool vibe, love the art on the walls. It was a little dirty but they were very busy so i understand. It was just ok.. not my first spot for a chicken spot but I didn't hate it either. Next time I may just order a large buffalo fry! Only thing missing on that would be blue cheese. But overall worth a try at least, but keep in mind the "hot chicken " when ordering your spice level.

    I've been coming here for years, and yet, I have never written a review. I came in to grab lunch…read moretoday, and I was very satisfied. It's a nice restaurant, with seating on the inside and the outside. That's good, because they can. get busy. The employees are very friendly It's a very large menu, ranging from things such as your standard tacos, tortas, and burritos, to things such as seafood cocktails, molcajete, which is a Mexican stew, to posole. They have Menudo on the weekend, and also on the weekend, they have a person right in the dining room, making fresh, hot , tortillas on the spot. There is a small chips and salsa bar. The chips are very good, as are the salsas. My favorite has always been the avocado salsa, creamy with just a little bit of a kick to it. Today, I decided to go simple. I had a shredded chicken, super nachos, and a cheese quesadilla. The quesadilla didn't look like much, but it was very big. There was a lot of delicious Monterey Jack cheese in it. They were very generous with the cheese. The nachos didn't look very big, but they were. The chicken was tender. And delicious, and I loved the guacamole and the sour cream. The salsa had a nice little kick to it And as I mentioned before, the chips were fantastic, not greasy at all. For all I got, the price was very reasonable. I will continue to come back. Thank you.

    Very disappointing tonight. Chimichanga wasn't fried to a crisp, taco salad bowl tasted like stale…read moreoil. Carnitas was dry. Unusual for this place.
