    Food was good and fresh. Service not too much. I came in with a walker walked up to order and 2 employees turned their back on me and walked away. Came back a min or two later and told me to order on the touch screen. I ate it for in dining. They called my number. He didn't take into account I was disabled. He did bring my order to my table after I asked twice. When I asked he gave me a look as if to say "you're kidding me?". My table was slightly dirty. The drive thru is much better. Very quick and accurate. It's worth noting an employee came and cleaned the tables extensively

    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.

Something a lot of other places don't do these days. Their Birria is also incredibly tender and juicy.

Although their prices are high, $16 for a torta, it's usually worth it, because their portions are quite generous. Earlier today, I ordered a torta to go, and I ended up extremely disappointed when I got home. It had literally half the meat, half the beans, and half the cheese that it normally does. This was the first time I'd been disappointed with their food, but I decided to call and express my dissatisfaction. I was passed to the manager who handled the situation in the most unprofessional way. I explained the issue to him, and he insisted that my torta today had the same amount of meat, beans, and cheese as always. I disagreed with him, and he responded angrily, "Everybody makes mistakes!" He raised his voice and repeated it a couple of times. It was completely bizarre that he chose to speak to me as if I was the one who'd done something wrong. It's very childish to do a subpar job and then get upset and frustrated when you're called on it. An adult apologizes and pledges to not blow it again. Anyhow, I don't tolerate disrespectful people so I'm done. I won't spend another penny there.

    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.

Diane ordered Loaded Wedges with melted Cheddar Cheese and Bacon, which she liked very much. Since I was craving tacos before we went to lunch, this was an all-around great deal.

    I spent over $50 in the drive thru, and when the employee asked if I wanted sauce, I said yes…read more After leaving, I checked my bag and realized there was no sauce, so I had to park and go inside to ask for it, which completely defeats the purpose of using the drive thru. To make things worse, the manager charged me for the sauce after I had already spent over $50. If there was going to be a charge, that should have been mentioned when I was asked if I wanted it, not after your employee forgot to include it. What made this experience even worse was the manager's attitude. Especially as a manager, you should be setting the example for good customer service, not being rude to customers over a mistake your staff made. This was poor customer service from start to finish, and I expected much better.

    First, let me say I had a great meal at Baker's last night…read more I had not been to a Baker's in quite some time because the previous few visits during and post covid the food and prices were terrible. I decided to give them another try because I drive by the Loma Linda location daily and on a whim decided to give them another try. I noticed on the menu they have an unfamiliar item, the "Classic Chicken Burrito" - and one my favorite menu items used to be the "All Chicken Burrito." Before I quit going to Baker's they changed from using two pieces of chicken breast to using a dried out chopped chicken that was just horrible. I asked the friendly cashier, and she told me this burrito has two pieces of chicken breast, red sauce, and cheese; just like the old "All Chicken Burrito." I ordered one and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. It took me back to 2019. And years ago when I quit going the bean and cheese burrito had shrunk in size to little more than a tortilla with about two tablespoons of beans and a dozen measly shreds of cheese - completely different than the bulky burrito with plenty of beans cheese I had loved for many years. And because my two long time favorites were both the chicken and B&C burrito, I decided to also get one of these. Again, I was very pleasantly surprised that they seem to have gone back to the old ways. The burrito was slightly smaller than they used to make them back in 2019, but big enough to give me those old times feels. And the beans were just perfect. I love that they are only partially mashed with plenty of whole beans in a thick bean soup. And to top it off, there was plenty of cheese inside. Altogether, I was blown away by how great the items I ate were. I'll definitely be going back. I can't wait to see if the burgers and fries have been revived back to their former greatness. Good job, Baker's!

The pastrami was flavorful and not too dry, but the chili was pretty one dimensional and did not add much flavor beyond saltiness. After a few bites, everything started to blend together and it was difficult to finish. Overall, a decent spot if you're looking for an old school burger spot, but nothing that really makes me want to go out of my way to come back, except maybe to try the mechanic..
