    5 people standing on the other side of the counter yet only service is self service machines. So sad. Useless. Prices are ridiculous and service slow.

    Holy cow there are a lot of fast food restaurants offering up "Mexican" fare. If given a choice we often will chose El Pollo Loco over others mainly because the food is consistently good. Such was the case here. We came for one thing and one thing only: The chicken Tostada: Yes the shell is unhealthy but most of the filling were pretty good. The flame grilled chicken has a bit more taste than the other places have to offer. They use whole pinto beans rather than that ubiquitous brown paste many other use. The greens were fresh, and the pico de gallo and sour cream struck a proper balance with the rest of the fillings. The cilantro dressing tied it all together. My only issue is that in the quest to please the bland masses their hot sauce is simply not that hot. Aside from that fast and friendly service and the staff from what we could see from the drive through were all wearing masks

    I found a bug in my food. 0 stars. Never going here ever again. So disgusting. Please go to ANY other El Pollo Loco location. A waste of money and I feel sick to my stomach.

    Dropped in at lunch time and the young lady working the counter was very nice. She recommended the 3 tacos al carbon for $5. Hit the spot.

It's at Mountain Grove, which already has a fun atmosphere, but inside the restaurant it feels even more energetic. Pro tip: check their Facebook page before you go. They had a post where if you comment on it, you can get free food. They give you four different options and you can redeem each one on separate visits. That's such a great deal. My husband redeemed the large chicken sandwich (you can choose regular or large), and I went with the loaded fries, specifically the buffalo fries. Everything was really good. I personally liked the buffalo fries more than the sandwich, but my husband preferred the chicken sandwich, so it really comes down to taste. The portions are big too. The loaded fries could easily be shared between two or even three people, and the large sandwich is big enough to split between two people. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes. Service was quick, friendly, and fun. They even told us we could come back three more times to redeem the other free items, which they didn't have to do, and that definitely went a long way. Five stars all around. Definitely worth stopping by if you're at Mountain Grove.

    We decided to head over to Dave's Hot Chicken for our typical Friday night dine out for the family…read more I didn't want to place my order online because I was driving over from Riverside and wanted to make sure I would have my food hot when I took it home. The restaurant was very busy, as would be usual for a Friday evening. We placed our order at the counter with the sweetest young woman behind the counter. SHe was patient and explained all the different options to us. It appeared there was only one other person working in the back. Needless to say, orders were deep. There was a man (we assumed he was a food delivery driver), who was visibly upset at the staff because part of his order wasn't ready. He was getting loud with the sweet young woman behind the counter. The young man who was working in the kitchen came out to have an explaination of the situaiton to the angry man. It took a while for us to get our order. I'd say at least 30 minutes. Once we were called up, we just picked up and left. We didn't check our order before we took off. We got back home in Riverside, unloaded everything, and realized one meal was missing from the order. I decided to call the store to let them know. I spoke to Joey, who identified himself at the night manager. I told him how the young woman behind the counter never lost her cool and how busy the restaurant was. Joey apologized for the failure and offered to make it right. We worked together to come to an agreement where we would come back another day and they would replace the missing meal. We came back on the day we said we would. The young man behind the counter didn't seem to know what I was talking about even though Joey said he'd leave a detailed note. No matter, I had my receipt with me and presented it along with a short story of the situation. The young man placed an order in the kitchen for us. We had our replacement meal in about 10 minutes. Honestly people... be nice. It's not hard. Things happen. Just use the nice words you have in your vocabulary and let the restaurant attempt to make it right. We'll be back. Dave's is good stuff.

    One beautiful sunny afternoon in Palm Springs, my friend and I wanted to give this place a try…read moresince we heard so many good things about it. We both ordered their Fried Chicken sandwich with French Fries with both ketchup and Ranch dressing on the side. I ordered their house salad which came with lettuce, tomato, shaved Mozzarella cheese, cucumber, asked for light onions and got light onions. Also came with croutons. Portions were very reasonably priced. $20 for each plate. Food was very delicious, hot and full of flavor. We didn't get anything to drink. It has a great patio, bar, and indoor seating. We got great service from few of their employees who were nice, kind, helpful and knowledgeable. They even told us the plates were hot before setting them down on the table. Not all servers warn you! They sure earned their tip. The menu is pretty vast and at first, we wanted to order everything from the menu. That's how it is when you are so HUNGRY! One can only eat so much.. Great restaurant, few parking spaces, we parked outside. Got lucky to find parking in front of the restaurant. Has 2 restrooms, didn't use them. Place was a very cozy, cute restaurant. Also very clean. Highly recommend this place. Had a cute decor here and there. Was very lovely. I am so glad that we tried this place out. Thank you all very much!!

    Solid 4.5 Stars…read more We've been here several times and always had a good experience. Service is prompt and friendly and the food is very good. There's a wraparound outdoor patio, with cooling misters and red umbrella covered tables. No indoor seating. Parking is either on street or in a large lot at the back of the block. FOOD & DRINK: Started with a round of cocktails, some Spicy Strawberry Margaritas ($16), and two Bloody Mary's ($16). The margaritas were refreshing, not overly sweet, with just a hint of heat from the jalapeño. The Bloody Mary's had two large olives, but no bacon or celery. We ordered the side of Green Beans ($10), tossed with garlic, ginger, and gluten free soy sauce, which is a perfect appetizer to share. For our lunch entrees, we had a Cobb Salad ($14), a Chinese Salad ($14) with Crispy Chicken Strips (+$11), and two of their Summer Specials; Chicken Piccata ($25 for 3-courses) and Chicken Parmesan ($25 for 3-courses). We finished it all off with some Espresso Gelatos which were quite refreshing. Everything was very tasty. My only knock is that they still need to do a better job with maintaining the supplies and cleanliness of the bathroom, which is shared amongst the complex where the Chicken Ranch is located. Chicken Ranch is one of our favorites for yummy cocktails and delicious food. I highly recommend this place, if you haven't tried it already.

The spice levels are legit too--not one of those places where "hot" isn't actually hot. I've tried a couple different things on the menu and everything's been solid, especially with the sides.

The sandwich is decent, chicken is juicy but was very bland even with the cole slaw and sauce. Fries were all over the place, some looked fresh, some looked like they had been recooked a few times. They were also insanely bland, no seasoning at all. The mac & cheese is well, terrible. I don't think there is any real cheese in it at all. It's very watery and honestly a box of Kraft is better and cheesier. I paid 75 cents for a side of sauce and didn't even receive it. My order was not complicated so not sure how that was overlooked. This place has work to do to improve quality. Will not be returning.
