    Unsweet iced tea out
    Ron W.

    Only a 2 star rating even though my order was accurate and served in a timely manner. The reasons : my first 2 drink choices were out , the unsweetened iced tea, and the Coke zero ! Also the restroom was clean, but sadly out of seat covers :/

    Parking lot, should have got both sides to show how crowded and tight it can get.

    This El Pollo Loco is very busy, which is good for them, although this location is very busy, the staff is great and keeps it moving and service is quick and friendly. The location is in the heart of Sherman Oaks, and although on Sepulveda, kind of a weird spot. But easy to get to either way. Their parking lot is shared and very tight though, street parking is also tough in the area, so be patient. Really my only critic. Inside is your typical El Pollo loco, from the decor to seating and overall set up. They no longer have a salsa bar (same for all locations) but will give you as much salsa you like, pico de gallo, avocado green salsa or their spicier option. I like all 3 and can't choose a favorite. As I have said in many of my last reviews on other locations, I recommend using the app to speed up the process of getting your order. Order ahead and pick up to dine in or take it to go. Their digital deals they have on the app are pretty good. Still been getting the 3 tacos, chips and salsa and a drink for $5.99, pretty decent deal for a solid lunch. Enjoy!

    I got the order to go. I got the chicken nachos and a chicken burrito. It is very difficult parking to get but it's worth the wait places is very clean and the people here I gotta say is one of the best Pollo Locos that ever been to.

    The worst El pollo loco I've ever been to. My quesadilla was soggy upon ordering, just sitting in juice on the tray. The few bites I was able to take had BONES in it. I bit in the first time and cracked my crown!!! I ordered shredded chicken quesadilla, why multiple BONES??? Please don't eat here! Gonna cost me $$$ for dental work now.

    This place has become my new staple place to order. They are located close to my house and their service has been stellar so far. I've ordered delivery a couple times already and their delivery is always earlier than anticipated. The food is solid, especially when you get the family pack. We usually get the 20 piece family pack with large mashed potatoes, large cole slaw (my mom's favorite), 4 corn tortillas, & 4 flour tortillas. We also usually get the chips & salsa with avocado. Their chicken bowls are really delicious as well. How can you order without their 6 pack tacos with avocado? Got to have them all. Best part is the delivery option. I am grateful for their service and their great food.

    Awful, dried out chicken! Don't go here Disgusting food. The wings I threw out.. Piece Family Pack 8.

    Gross beef in the quesadilla.

    Just disgusting. I got the new beef quesadilla and the half the beef inside was gelatinous and inedible. There was hardly any cheese and it was soupy inside. And the chips were stale. Wasn't cheap either $15 for the meal. This please needs to close down.

    Choo Choo, beware of other trains! We will be boarding in about 10 minutes:-))! Get your luggages,…read morekids, and all passengers! ALL ABOARD the train is about to move, so grab your seats, before you miss the train. I am so surprised that I haven't done a review on Carneys all these years that I have been going there. This place is iconic, historic, yet practical in every way. It's a burger joint that makes you feel like you are really eating in the train, but the train is not moving. I can't say enough good things about Carneys and the staff. Always helpful, kind, nice, take your order and in less than 5 minutes, you grab a seat on the train and eat whatever you have ordered. It's SO good! In every way! I was doing last minute Christmas shopping around the area and was craving some Cheeseburger and their chili fries. Let's not forget there chocolate dipped bananas. YUM! Walked in on 12/23/25 and there were like 7 people ahead of me. That line was cleared so fast that I didn't even feel like I was standing in line. Got their regular Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, light onions, with their Thousand Island dressing, Also got regular size chili fries and the food was sooooo gooooood!!!! They have jalapeño peppers, chili peppers, and all the other condiments that go with great hot dogs, burgers, fries and all. Place is super clean, abundant parking spaces, cute patio, and right outside of the restaurant they have 2 bathrooms. Both clean!! Good menu options to choose from! See you again very soon.

This location is a local favorite with a smorgasbord of options including Burgers, Sandwiches, Salads, Sides, Wraps, Tacos and yes, Hot Dogs! Adding to their comfort food menu in the coolest railcar you'll ever be stationary in. Dine inside or out on their patio. Solid veggie options including a Garden Burger, Hungry Plant (Vegan) Burger, Veggie Sandwich and others. For some reason Carneys, unlike Tail O the Pup, Cupid's, Pink's, Tony's Darts Away, Dog Haus and lots of other great Hot Dog spots doesn't have a Veggie Dog option. I do love and appreciate the Hungry Planet Burger for sure, but it be nice if they introduced this. People have been asking for years. Gluten Free options available, including buns, and they do their best to cook things separately to reduce any crossover. Though I do love getting my burger Lettuce Wrapped, and they do a good job. Great service. Great prices. Clean Restrooms. Pet friendly Family friendly. Good for lunch, "linner" and "dinner," as well as takeout or delivery. Open 7 days a week from 11AM until 10PM

Over the years I've probably ordered more sandwiches here than I can count, and lately I've been making it my mission to work through their vegan menu one sandwich at a time. The thing I appreciate most is that Ike's doesn't treat vegan options like an afterthought. They have an entire lineup of creative sandwiches that all bring something different to the table. Some of my favorites so far have been the Meatless Mike, Handsome Owl, Pee-Wee, Vegan Bonnie Jill, and Vegan Mary Ashley. Every time I think I've found my favorite, another sandwich surprises me. The Sherman Oaks team is always welcoming, the food is consistently fresh, and the menu keeps me coming back. It's one of those places that's become part of my LA story. If you're vegan, start exploring the menu. You'll probably find a favorite of your own.

Overall the sandwich was just ok nothing spectacular. The chips were a New Orleans brand and very good! The bread I didn't like too much crunch almost like a very hard bread. I won't be eating there again! It's worth a try but it's definitely not for me! Overly priced and underwhelming!
