    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...

    I ordered the double chicken bowl as usual but this time they took out half the chicken and gave me $.10 cent scoop of corn. Not going back!

    This place randomly caught my attention on my way to Temecula Wine Country and I made a mental note…read moreto stop by on my way back to OC. Super glad I did. This is one of those places you walk into, smell the food, and are like "Yeah, this is gonna be good." And it was! Our order was the double cheeseburger combo, the breakfast sandwich, and a steak burrito. The cheeseburger was seasoned perfectly, it was pretty good! The breakfast sandwich was made well! I had a bite and it was a dang good sandwich! The burrito was a pretty decent size. It was ordered without rice/beans and still pretty large. They didn't skimp on the meat. Food comes out fast and they bring it to you. Friendly staff as well. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

    Me and my hubby were on the way to pick up our other car at Caliber Collision and we passed by…read moreSIGGY'S along the way. It was getting close to noon so we were also getting hungry. There was no line in the drive thru so we ordered at the drive thru... FISH & CHIPS: 7/10 The fish were on the super char side. I prefer it less char but, if you like the extra crunch then it's for you. The fries got SOGGY fast so PRO TIP is to keep the lid open. The Portion seemed a bit smaller than the Temecula location... SALAD: 7/10 The fish and chips came with a side salad and the salad was not as fresh as the one at the Temecula location. The salad at the Temecula location was submerged in ice and remained crisp for hours... SAUCES: 7/10 The tartar and honey mustard sauce were both a bit on the watery side compared to the thick sauce you get at the Temecula location... TEMECULA location is the OG location so it's LEGIT!!! SERVICE: 10/10 Excellent and very friendly service... I love SIGGY's!!! KEEP IT UP SIGGY'S!!!!!

    Highly recommend the new Chicken Fried Steak Fries!!! We couldn't decide what to get for lunch so…read morewe decided to share the new sidewinder fries and OMG... I think I found my new favorite item from YB, The wriggle potatoes are sooo good especially with the gravy my only mistake was sharing because they were so good! I had to come back the next day and get more to take home, they are very large and great for sharing (if you wanted ) ! I Can't wait to try the Chicken Tender Ranch Fries next!!

    This used to be my go-to spot for a patty melt, but unfortunately the quality has gone downhill…read more The patty melts are now consistently greasy and don't have the same flavor they used to. I gave them several chances, hoping it was just an off day, but the experience never improved. The prices are high for the portion size. I tried the hot chocolate once, and it was so weak it tasted like flavored water. On top of that, one of the managers had an attitude problem with me. I hope they can get back to the quality that made this place a favorite in the first place. I'll will give them 1 point for the chocolate cookies. Those were really good. *** Response to owner*** The reviews I posted are not targeted; they simply reflect my actual experiences. The timing is only because I've been meaning to write them for a while and finally had the chance to do so. I encourage you to look at other customer reviews as well--there's a clear pattern of similar issues, and the low star ratings across both locations show it's not just my feedback. My intention is not to criticize for the sake of it but to highlight areas that need attention. I recommend implementing mystery shopping at both locations for at least a year, along with stronger management oversight, so the issues I mentioned can be properly addressed. One positive note: the staff at the Menifee location have consistently been very friendly. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the manager I interacted with at the Wildomar location.
