Mango habanero meal
Elise B.

I LOVE El Pollo Loco! Overall, they have some great food for a good price. I went in this time specifically to try the mango habanero chicken. I got the two piece, which also comes with two sides and your choice of tortillas (either corn or flour) or chips. I added a queso to dip my tortillas in because their queso is so good. The chicken was really moist. I liked the sauce, and could tell it was going to be a little hotter because I could smell it before I tasted it. I would have preferred less of the sauce so it wasn't so messy. Their mashed potatoes are one of my favorite things on the menu because they're so fluffy and buttery. They have a salsa bar if you go inside, so you can try out a lot of different salsas to see what you like best. I went on a Sunday for lunch, and it didn't take very long from the time I placed my order to them calling my name to pick it up. My only complaint is that they didn't have the carbonation for the sodas, but they did have a sign up on the ice maker letting you know what was available on the machine.

This place did not disappoint! I had the double chicken avocado salad combo. It comes with a drink, chips & queso. The serving portion was great & I had enough for later. It had juicy chicken with fresh veggies. I chose the strawberry Fresca for my drink. Their churros had the perfect crunch with sweet caramel sauce. Ordered in the drive thru where the menu was easy to ready. our food took about 5 minutes & was hot. If you're a night owl they're open till 3am! Great experience all around.

We tried El Pollo Loco for the first time today. We loved it! The restaurant was clean and bright. The woman taking our order was cheerful and courteous. And the food. Everything was fresh and so tasty! The price is in line with other fast casual options, and portions were generous. I got the grande avocado chicken bowl, and it was more than I could eat. Everything tasted great, and we'll go back!

I eat the 5.99 bowl combo like 4 times a week. Always   $6.62 after tax

I almost passed on trying this place because of reviews but I went ahead and tried it for myself. This place gives me vibes of if Cowboy Chicken had a drive thru. The menu is similar in ways to me with of course different spins. We went through the drive thru which was a little slow. When we put in our order the guy said it would be 10 mins for chicken. I figured with how slow we were moving anyway it would be 10 mins by the time we got the window. I was correct. The chicken was fresh and had a great grilled taste. I was able to peak and see how they grill the chicken from the drive thru. The Mac and cheese was basic, almost tasted like the Mac and kfc. Rice was pretty good as well. It came with tortillas (corn or flour). We added on the churros. Yum yum! They were also fresh and pretty good. Could have used a little more cinnamon but they are good for the price and a nice size. I will make sure to stop by and get a couple more of those.

5 stars because the place was clean! The food was really good! The food was served hot just like it should be. The guacamole was fresh & delicious! The chicken was cooked over a hot open flame, the chicken was juicy and the skin was crispy. They have a nice salsa bar with a few fresh salsas, fresh chopped onions, jalapeño slices and fresh cilantro on it. They have coke products with coke, Fanta, sprite, Dr Pepper, diet Dr Pepper, Diet Coke and gold peak sweet and unsweetened iced tea, you fix your own drinks with free refills and yes fresh cut lemon slices are on the salsa bar. Can't wait to go back. Everything tasted great.

$5 original bowl. Bland like sand.
Erica S.

Very polite and nice workers. Ordered on the app. Got the keto burrito, $5 bowl and a taco. Wasn't bad, just very bland. It needed a ton of seasoning and hot sauce, which I didn't have. Reasonably priced.

Fresca Cobb salad

Try their Fresca Cobb salad today. Overall enjoyed it. Provides a generous quantity of chicken and bacon, the roasted corn is also nice. My only complaint is that they only have two types of salad dressings to offer. One is a cilantro dressing and another is a something they called a 'citrus dressing'. I opted for the citrus dressing because I really don't care for cilantro myself, but the citrus dressing just tasted odd. Since their salads are plentiful and tasty, it would be nice if they would offer a basic oil and vinegar dressing as a third option for those of us who don't care for either of their house dressings. Otherwise I would have given the salad a five star. They do have a complimentary setup for pico de gallo and salsa, so I ended up putting pico de gallo on my salad instead. At least it added some extra flavor and moisture to the salad, but again a third option on a more generic and popular dressing like oil and vinegar would have been a nice option

El pollo loco !!!

One of my favorite restaurants I miss going to when I used to live in Cali, I live in Georgia now and they don't have but luckily I am working in Baton Rouge LA till Friday and I saw they had el pollo, I had to go pick up some chicken and it not disappoint!!

"We won't have chicken for another hour to an hour-and-a-half." No chicken at all. At El Pollo Loco. Apparently someone came up a little bit before us and bought up every piece of chicken. My parents always go to El Pollo Loco when they visit me in Los Angeles, and they were really excited that it was finally opened in Baton Rouge ― so to be told that there wasn't a single piece of chicken after driving all the way from Watson, well... thanks to El Pollo Loco, we were La Familia Cabreada. They got one extra star because at least we got some free churros.

We have been regular customers here weekly for over two years…read more Jim Uridales goes out of his way to cook the most delicious cuisine in our area. There are many choices on the menu. Tonight I got Spanish coffee and a chili relleno. The Spanish coffee is an alcohol drink that can be used as a dessert. Yummy! The chili rellenllo was filled with dellicious ground seasoned beef. It has a coating and is deep fried. The pulled pork quesadillas are so yummy- this is what my hubby got tonight. I like the way the seating is here. There are booths and tables and all are comfortable. Though you may be sitting near another table, the acoustics are such that others talking are not bothersome. This is a pet peeve for me- many times I would rather eat at home - but here, the restaurant here feels like our family now. They are known for their delicious margaritas; but the bar can mix most any drink . I love Mestizos, the yummy food and varied menu mmm is the word! My husband and I are self proclaimed foodies. We love most everything on their menu. The chefs Dad owned a Mexican restaurant in Baton Rouge for years- " Carlos" Uridales inspired his son, Jim, to open his own restaurant. Mestizos has been in business for over 25 years. Jim Uridales and his crew are also benevolent members of Baton Rouge and they are a service oriented group of professionals. The menu prices are slightly higher on some items, however, scallops with shrimp here are very delicious and perfectly browned in a buttery flavored manner and this menu item sells for 30 dollars and it's the most costly entree on the menu. Their tapas menu is more budget friendly and delicious. I urge you to try this delicious menu for yourself. We love their catering department too!

Update. 2026. I mean, Jim Urdiales, the owner chef, is a friend. We were on the same culinary tour…read moreof the Yucatán. But this lunch is absolutely delicious. Mark Twain, or someone was famous for saying that the coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. And today I say with absolute sincerity (but slightly tongue in cheek), that the best meal I ever had in Mexico City was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. If Michelin ever gives stars in Baton Rouge, Mestizo should on the list. Try the scallops in mole verde and the salmon in mole pistachio.

We came on a Sunday, and I got a delicious brunch!…read more The restaurant wasn't busy for an early lunch, so we got seated right away. Immediately upon walking in, I loved all of the colors and the vibes of this Mexican restaurant. When you sit down, they bring chips and salsa to your table. I wasn't a huge fan of the salsa or the chips. The chips had some seasoning on them and to me, it didn't mix well with the salsa. The salsa was really thin, and I prefer a chunky salsa with a salted thick chip lol. I was feeling adventurous and got the French toast on the brunch menu. It was delicious! The berry compote and the two different syrups paired really well with it. The bacon that it came with was perfection. I ate every last bite. I did have a bite of my friends tacos, and they were good but on smaller side in my opinion. Our waitress was great and there were plenty of tvs to watch while we waited. But, we never waited long for anything!

We came in from Texas ready for margaritas and tacos. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill…read morepretty quickly. First, we were told shortly after arriving that we would have to leave in an hour and a half. Nothing says "welcome, enjoy your dinner" quite like starting the meal with a countdown clock. I will give them this: the margaritas come in a to-go cup, which I actually thought was a great idea. Unfortunately, the margarita itself was HORRIBLE. It tasted like I was sucking on a salt block. I tried to send it back, but instead of simply replacing it, our waiter argued with me about why it tasted salty. He insisted it was because there was salt on the rim and some of it must have fallen into the bottom of the cup. I watched how they salted the rim, so that explanation made absolutely no sense. Since we were apparently dining against the clock, I finally gave up arguing and said I'd try another one without salt on the rim. Plot twist: still tasted like a salt block. The chips and salsa weren't bad but nothing to note either, so there's that. The portobello mushroom taco, however, left a LOT to be desired. The cheese was scorched onto the tortilla, and the mushrooms were seared into crunchy little bits. I genuinely did not know mushrooms could achieve that level of crunch until today. Someone in our party ordered the Pollo de Mar dinner, which was overpriced and, unfortunately, just as disappointing. Between the unnecessary time limit, the waiter arguing with me over a drink I clearly didn't like, the salt-lick margaritas, scorched tacos, and overpriced food, this was definitely not the experience we were expecting. The to-go margarita cup was probably the highlight. Unfortunately, I didn't want to take the margarita anywhere and threw it away.
