    went through the drive through, Noelia took my order "order whenever you're ready" I look at the menu, "Hi, can I get" -get cut off by Noelia "give me one second" I order, go to window pay, get a 3/4 of my drink. I go back around to let them know and they hit me with " we are out of coke" " I ask what kind of drinks they're are " she says " we have coke products" I ask for a chile serrano, she says they're out of Serranos. I get home (3min away) and my tortillas are COLD! never again!!! so disappointed customer service is horrible !

    2 piece leg and thigh with rice and beans

    The hours got changed recently. Didn't realize until I looked it up. But as always the food is so good, got a 2 piece leg and thigh with beans and rice. The chicken was spot on, fresh off the grill. Shout out to the employees for having quality food.

    this was the chicken in our double chicken tostada
    Diana N.

    One star seems to good. So frustrating. When you get food for an 89 year young mother, and it is one of the few things left to really appreciate, what happened the other day, was just awful. We started going to the Mooney Blvd, Pollo Loco, in visalia, due to ads. Normally we share a double chicken tostada salad. There have been several times, that I was not given my points on my app, and when I shared with the manager, she said sorry, nothing she could do. Then on another occasion, I was told, the site was being updated, to bad, again, nothing they could do. So we started eating there less, and a day ago, was the worst. I drove through, and at the speaker, I asked how many calories in a certain new taco they had and was told, we dont know, sorry. Like , it didnt occur to them if calorie counting that if they didnt know something , they should find out. Then I ordered my usual double chicken tostada, and two small carbon tacos. I asked for ranch, and extra hot sauce and a few mild. I get home and there is the wrong salad, with the wrong dressing, and no extra sauces. So I call and drive all the way back. Heading into the store, I stand at the counter and the lady does not help me until i move, to the other side of the counter. First I am asked if I know the difference between the tostada, etc, and i say, yeah, I have ordered them numerous times. Then? I mention that with driving all the way home and back, the tacos are now cold, could i please have those replaced. The woman helping me acted like I didn't ask. So she took the wrong salad out of my hand and threw the other one in. I had to ask for the ranch again, and left with what i thought was the right salad, and two cold tacos, and quite the attitude. Next? I get home, cut the salad in half, and discover, that the chicken is literally charcoal. I guess we were punished and mother couldn't eat her half. I guess it was to complicated to simply fill an order. We will not be visiting this one every again, and its so sad. Corporate should check in on it, like secret shopper. I saw the other reviews and most for this place are pretty bad.

    I ordered two tacos today. When the cashier asked the girl who made my tacos if they had no salsa like I had requested, the employee told the other employee no and laughed. Then continued to give me the tacos anyways even tho they both knew they were made incorrectly. So rude! I was in the drive thru so I had to go inside and have them remade. When I told the manager she didn't seem to care. I'm allergic to tomatoes so if I would have ate them I could have sued them. Be better, do better el polo loco! And this is the taco... one tiny slice of avocado but they're called "avocado tacos"!

    Big rubbery piece of chicken skin

    The new restaurant on Rigging is where I went to and I got a classic burrito combo and I ordered it with breast meat and no rice. It was pretty good until the last couple of bites I bit into a rubbery big piece of skin no chicken attached I don't eat the skin so it grossed me out a bit but when I tried to give it to my dog who was sharing my burrito with took a sniff and walked away I hope that I don't get sick because now I'm wondering what else was in my burrito and for the record I will not be going to that restaurant again

    Food is mediocre, not like it was when El Pollo Loco first started. Service is even worse; I had to ask for a lid, napkins, and salsa.

    Have you ever been to a place, and immediately needed to leave a review?! That's what happened…read morehere. I'm so bad at leaving reviews right away, but this place deserved it. Also, I only found it because of Yelp, so I should pay it forward! The service was incredible. I don't remember the young girls name, but my receipt says "KDS U" as server if that helps. She was so nice and patient with my millions of questions. And she pointed me in the right direction. When I got home and ate my 3 piece tenders with Mac n cheese, I was so happy. It was so tasty. I also got the classic and ranch sauce. She compared the classic sauce to raising canes, which was helpful. But I'll say this, the chicken is great without the sauce (unlike canes). I made sure to take my first bite before any dipping. The ranch is house made and also Delicious. And last, the price was great. I will definitely be back. I wasn't even that hungry and I devoured my food because it was so good! Thank you to the cashier again. She was so pleasant and helpful.

    The customer service very kind helpful and professional!!. Now the ambiance of the place was nice…read morethey play great music and kid friendly. The food is a 1 out of 10 for me!... reason being I waited 23 minutes for my food placed the order at 3:10 and received it At 3:33 nevertheless this is my first time in the establishment I heard a lot of great reviews from friends who have tried it and thought to give it a try on Christmas Day ...now I'm thinking if the food takes this long it has to taste great right... WRONG ordered 3 pcs tender/$13.49 fry combo $1.50 8pc chicken $13.49 fry combo $4.99 Total $36.31 For that price it doesn't sit well with me that I was unhappy about the food breading on chicken was burnt on some ends and soggy on others some of the chicken breading fell of because of how greasy the chicken is and overall didn't not taste good I gave it 4 good bites but I couldn't bare anymore. Money down the drain. I could've gone to in and out or I could have gone to McDonalds but the fact that I choose here should be a reason the food should taste good for people to come back for years to come Won't be back very disappointing..
