Cabbage & bean burrito, being sold at $10 as a Guacamole Chicken burrito.  Complete waste of money.

I hadn't been to El Pollo Loco for a long time & though I'd give it a try. Big Mistake. $10 for a tortilla full of cabbage & beans?! I ordered a guacamole chicken burrito. Barely could see any chicken, and I guess the small green color is supposed to be the guacamole. It's mostly cabbage & beans. Who puts cabbage in chicken burritos? Now I know why the place was deserted while the other drive-throughs were backed up with after school traffic.

That's the receipt the charged me that amount for canceling the order in less than 2min..never recieved food or anything

Becareful when you order on uber eats. I ordered yesterday and the price was way too high so I decided to. Cancel in less than 2min now they charged me 39.99 because they said food was already made by the time I canceled..I called uber eats to let theme know about the incident the told me they can't do anything...so I asked theme can at least get a store credit and just hang up on me..just b3 careful when you order food from there and decide to cancel you have to cancel in less than a minute to not get charged.

I also got coupons for next time

Just went thru Drive thru and I actually forgot to order something so I decided to get off. I have to say I haven't seen a restaurant this organized. All Employees looked focused on their task and everyone had a great smile. I also saw management working which is rare you usually never see managers get involve and help their crew. Food was was great quality great portions was just perfection. Restaurant actually looked clean restrooms fid not smell like other places I've been too. Very satisfied

If I pay seven dollars for a soup I expect the container to be full. I get chicken tortilla soup at many El Pollo's in the area- so I am only comparing to other El Pollo Loco's. I don't want to hear excuses that this is a fast food restaurant. I pay for my food and I get great food at other places. They are very chintzy on portions here and my double chicken Pollo bowl only had enough chicken for a regular Pollo bowl. I have gone here several times and they are not consistent. Their soup is bland too- so I guess they are not putting as much sea in it as other places do Now they've changed the soup base at all El Pollo Locos and it's greasy and has a plastic taste. I'm very disappointed. This one has horrible service too. The left today didn't give me the tortilla strips or cilantro for my soup and tried to argue with me when I went back through the drive through to ask for it. She said she put it in my bag. I showed her what she put in my bag (all items besides the soup) and she asked to see my soup! I just went through the drive through and was already upset I had to go back and ask for items that should have been in my order. Then she acts like I didn't order soup! Plus the cost of everything has gone up so I better get what I pay fir! Now I get home and can't eat this awful soup. I'll stick to the carbon tacos and only go to the one on grape street that has good customer service from now on.

Plastic in my burrito. Please be more careful.

The chipotle guacamole burrito was very tasty. It was hearty and flavorful. I also love the 2 burrito for price of 1 coupon. However, found a large piece of plastic in my burrito. Please do better! Be more careful.

Purchased the Double Chicken Tostada and was amazed to see that it shrunk to about half it's size it was just a year ago. Interestly enough, the cost had actually gone up. Quite disappointing to say the least. It's going to take a lot to bring me back to El Pollo loco and particularly, the money aspect of it.

3 tacos al carbon and Pollo bowl combos (drinks not shown). $11 and change

The Fire Grilled Combo deals are a lifesaver! Everything is outrageously expensive right now but El Pollo Loco is offering 3 tacos al carbon with chips and drink for $5! Delicious, good quality for what you pay and filling! Other options include Shredded Chicken Quesadilla for $5.99, Original Pollo Bowl for $5.99, Classic Chicken Burrito for $5.99 I like to think El Pollo Loco is doing this to fight back against inflation and corporate greed, and to give their customers some much deserved relief. It may not be true, but I don't know any better and I like to believe it.

Consome

Excellent eating experience.. from walking in the door and being greeted by employee, great smile when order taken was maybe 5 minutes. Meal was served hot and excellent taste. Server was very friendly and helpful. The managers on the back looked very nice and helpful around their Employees loved coming here today had the best quesadilla and consomés.

Pollo bowl, more like a bean and rice bowl...

Didn't even know this place existed until it was recommended, and Los Jilbertos doesn't disappoint!…read moreIt's tucked way back with the ever ambiguous Taco sign with the Los Jilbertos logo on a window that doesn't face anything. But people know this place for sure, here just after 1pm on Friday and it's been a constant flow. Service was very friendly and food came out quick. The inside was clean and the salsa bar had 4 salsa options including a very chunky pico de gallo. I got the NAK Burrito, since they don't have the KCC they have down in Temecula, but the NAK seems to be the staple at every location. Much like the Cali Burrito but instead of sour cream there are refried beans to accompany the carne asada, fries, guacamole, pico and cheese. The beans make this burrito dense, immediately the weight made obvious this was going to be a filling burrito. Flavor was good, carne asada had a good cook, nice chew and good flavor. Fries were cooked crispy which I definitely prefer, great texture. The guacamole, cheese and pico were pretty evenly distributed. The beans were the wild card and they held their own in flavor. If you're not a huge fan of refried beans, probably steer clear as this is definitely bean forward in flavor, but I enjoyed it. Overall the location I would give 4 stars to, but maybe it's intentional that they maintain exclusivity of a largely local clientele? Hard to find but a hidden gem. Staff were well spoken and very friendly and diligent in their performance of responsibilities, easy 5 stars. The NAK Burrito is a solid 4. Very filling if you're hungry, but does end up being bean heavy. Value... it's hefty due to the beans, and a couple dollars more than the Cali burrito which I feel would be a bit lighter but close in volume. Flavors were good so definitely keeping note on a day that I'm really hungry.

Got a nacho craving and pulled up to Los Jilbertos like it was a life emergency. Eight minutes…read morelater, boom... nachos in hand!! Not soggy, not sad, just crispy, cheesy greatness even to-go (which is honestly a miracle). Salsa bar is a DIY flavor playground, grab what you want, no judgment, live your spicy truth!! Parking was easy too, so no pre-nacho stress. Overall: fast, crunchy, and dangerously satisfying. Would absolutely answer the nacho call again!!

You could tell it had been simmered properly; every spoonful had layers of flavor instead of just spice. The meat was tender and plentiful, the hominy cooked just right, and the fresh cabbage, onion, cilantro, and lime brought everything together perfectly. Adding the salsas took it from great to unforgettable--each one added its own kick without overpowering the soup. This is the kind of pozole that warms you up, fills you up, and makes you slow down because you don't want it to end. Simple, authentic, and done right. I'd come back for this alone.

Tried this local taco place in Murrieta. Have lived here for…read morefour years and still trying local taco places. Saw reviews on Yelp and thought we would take a field trip. Hubby always has nachos- so of course he had the carnitas nachos. I had a pollo tostada and a carnitas sope. Conclusion: nice, clean fast casual restaurant, lovely people and fresh tasting food. Nachos were served in a huge mound with big pieces of juicy pork,beans, cheese and guacamole. My pollo tostada was lightly fried and packed with lots of chicken, lettuce, tomato and cheese and the sope had the same accompaniments and juicy pork. I think I preferred the tostada over the sope ( because of the base) but that's my personal preference. Will definitely add this little shop in to our taco rotation!!
