A go-to place when I need to stop in Bishop. The meals are fast, tasty and affordable. It costs about the same as other fast food burger places. So, it's a better and healthier option for me to go to El Pollo Loco. The staff there are all terrific. read more

We stop in here for food when traveling along the 395. The food is always fresh and hot. The staff there has always been friendly and courteous. Restaurant and restrooms are reasonably clean. read more

This past Saturday night, 2 shredded chicken crunchy tacos with green salsa. I was sooooo sick about an hour and a half after I ate these. I was throwing up, had the worst stomach pains and well, you don't want to know the rest. Won't be back. read more

Their fresh salsa is what got me to love them. It taste good with their grilled chicken, considering the coupon price. Juiciness of chicken varies by location. This one is just a tad dry but still okay. Staff were very friendly. Giving 4 stars for taste and value. Use your coupons! read more

Food is fresh and delicious! Service was super fast and friendly. It's your typical fast food seating and dinning room.

In Bishop late at night and Pollo Loco was basically the only place still open--lifesaver! Staff were attentive and friendly. The food came out fast and everything was way better than I expected for a late-night stop. The tostada salad was fresh and crisp and filling, the tacos al carbon had that perfect flavor, and the salsa verde chicken quesadillas were cheesy goodness with just the right kick. Almost forgot to mention the chicken avocado burrito--but trust me, it's anything but forgettable. Huge, fresh, and packed with flavor. The avocado made it creamy perfection, and it's the kind of burrito you think about long after it's gone. Obviously it wasn't all for me "wink wink" but we had it family style so I tried everything. Wrapped it all up with warm, sugary churros--honestly the best ending to a long day. read more

Taking a road trip and needed a break and some sustenance before continuing the long drive to southern California. We pulled planning to go to the little cafe in the same shopping area, but it was closed so decided to go fast food. I am not a fan of fast food, but I figured they would have something marginally healthy. I was not wrong in my guess. I ordered the chicken avocado salad with creamy cilantro dressing. Not bad at all. The lettuce was fresh and crisp with sliced avocado and a generous helping of chicken. The chicken was a little dry, but otherwise tasty. The staff were polite and the food came out quickly. They were pretty busy so the dining area was almost full. The table was not clean, but was tolerable after a brush off with a napkin. So overall it was good. Up to expectations for fast food. read more

El Pollo Loco - Avocado Salad - Fast Food Near Me - Bishop, California

This was my first time ever at an El Pollo Loco and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. We got a $11.79 Double Pollo Fit Bowl, $9.49 Chicken avocado quesadilla, $5 Original Pollo Bowl, and $9.89 Shredded Chicken Nacho. I like that they only have chicken. It stays consistent with their branding. All the chicken can be seen being cooked on a massive grill just past the counter. It looked fresh. The chicken was tasty and well seasoned. The salsas that came with our meal were all rather bland. The green one was like a citrus cilantro green sauce that leaned towards being refreshing. The red one was more of a spicy salsa and the pico de gallo was just must tomatoes. All of them lacked flavor. They all could've used more salt to bring out whatever flavors were blended into each sauce. The chicken avocado quesadilla was the most flavorful but wasn't worth its price. It was about the same portion as the much cheaper original pollo bowl. The pollo bowl looks small but I'd say it was the perfect portion and I like to eat until I'm full. I was left satisfied once I had finished it. It came with beans, pico de gallo, onions, chopped cilantro, seasoned rice, and chicken. The flavors came together very well. Although, if you are not a fan of beans, you might not like how this bowl is constructed. It's built with a layer of rice then a layer of beans and then the four even sections of veggies and chicken. The beans are hard to avoid with each bite. The restroom was clean. There was soap and warm water, nothing inferior about it. I didn't get a drink but I thought it was cool that the dispenser had two nozzles that each had three different options on each nozzle. It was interesting. I'd never seen something like that before. There's a $5 for 2 tacos deal on Tuesdays that the cashier pointed out to us when we were thinking of ordering tacos. The service was good enough, nothing rude or too good. There was plenty of seating with clean tables. If I could give a 4.5 stars, I would've for this location. read more

Convenient location. If you have pets, they have a patio but we like to order our food to-go and eat in the hotel lobby. I should've checked my order and was missing chips so minor annoyance but when I came back then they quickly fixed it. I love ordering the fit double chicken salad bowl. read more

Last time I went was in Bishop, California, ruined El Pollo Loco for me. Way over cooked and dried out. Trash..! The windows server was the manager. He was obviously burned out, frustrated, and way over his head. Maybe they found somebody that can run the place but next time I went right on bye...getting a good burger and handcut fries deeper in town. El Pollo Loco was once...at first a great idea. I understand Denny's bought out the franchise N. of the Border. Well, Denny's is trash too. read more

The employees are so friendly here! And the food is waaaaay better than Taco Bell. Just wish they were open later!

Purchased a Double chicken salad at 8:15pm last night and it was the worst chicken salad I have ever had. The avocado was brown, the chicken was as tough as jerky and really salty and the lettuce was warm and wilted and not just where the chicken was sitting. I think it had been made several hours before it was sold to me. I would have gone back had it not been so late. To add insult to my visit, after getting my order I drove through the drive through and hit an unavoidable, gigantic pot hole in the El Polllo Loco driveway that almost blew out my tire. All around bad experience. read more

I like to frequent different El Pollo Loco locations wherever I might happen to be. Where else can you get a nice healthy meal for such a modest price. I thought this particular location was clean, well run and nicely set up. They have more than adequate easy parking and they are located right in the center of town, very convenient to many of the motels in Bishop. This time I had the Classic Chicken Tostada here. It goes for $8.99 and is definitely worth the money. They will give you creamy cilantro dressing to go with it, but if you also want salsa, you will have to ask for it. read more

What a great surprise. Just needed a quick dinner, and to get back on the road for Thanksgiving travel. The food was fresh, delicious, healthy. The place was packed with workers behind the counter and cooking. Price was reasonable. And FRIENDLY!!!!! We will go there again every time we pass through. read more

Chicken was good and tasty. Music was loud and in Spanish. Why? Very ghetto! Don't get it.

So there I was, driving North on HWY 395, and I was hungry. What to do? Where to go? ....and you know I love El Pollo Loco, it's healthier, you can get all the salsa you want, the chicken is grilling as you walk in, it's all good, and it was good. I'd definitely consider coming back to this location, but the trouble started when I sat down and, accidentally, looked across the street. There it was just gleaming in the sun... it was the Holy Smoke BBQ, and I had not looked up BBQ restaurants while I was on my way into town, and it was incredibly highly ranked... I had chosen a good place, but I could have had a meal from a one of kind location, a BBQ joint that many of my Yelp friends have enjoyed and highly ranked. Boy, this seemed like a mistake. I'm eating good food, but i'm longing for the BBQ. I won't have that happen again. The lesson, be sure and go to Yelp as you're heading into a town you don't live in. El Pollo is very good, and it truly does deliver what a good meal at a fair price.... but they should block that part of the window... read more

Great food, my parents enjoy their food, the only thing I didn't like about the restaurant was that the manager was being a dick and yelling out at an employee, she was doing her best to do her job and almost wanted to cry, fuck the manager, hope karma comes to that guy. Good thing my mom give the employee a Starbucks gift card as she wrote down to not give up and that she has bigger potential in her. read more

For a chain restaurant this is a clean and well run example. The management is incredibly nice and caring. I felt appreciated and listened to while there. Food was fresh and was out very quickly - a winning combo. Will go again. read more

I stopped in here for tasty and affordable lunch both on my way up and back from visiting Mammoth Lakes. It was easy and convenient to order ahead using the mobile app so that my food was ready when I walked inside. Both times, I went with the usual Original Pollo Bowl meal. It's such a great deal! I was also able to get a free chicken taco al carbon as a reward on the app. The food was good, but most of the tables in the dining area were dirty and could use a wipe down. read more

I finally decided to take the little walk from the hotel to the restaurant (plus the 10% hotel discount was also a motivator). Staff were super cool and helpful. This is my second day in a row coming here. I have the same thing $5 3-taquito combo and a thigh on the side (for lunch the next day). Both days I was a a little disappointed because I only had about 5 or 6 chips thrown into my combo bowl (the guy next to me had a mountain of chips) but luckily for them I really want in the mood for chips. The taqueria were well cooked and the skin on the chicken was super crispy and brown (I enjoy the skin when it's cooked like this). Today, the manager (I'm thinking) was walking around asking guests if they needed any thing (salt, pepper, napkins, wet wipes, etc). I thought that was great! As long as I get my discount and my chicken is properly cooked, I'll be back. read more

The Bishop El Pollo Loco is awesome. The food is really good and always tastes fresh. But what sets this place apart is the staff. I had a group of like 15 people put tables together for my birthday. Not only were they super friendly about it but they brought us out churros and were super nice. I love this place and eat here every week. read more

Great spot for a quick and tasty meal. We usually stop here via drive through on our way back home. It's quick and the employees are nice. All the burritos are good and filling. Reasonable prices - get a meal for two under $20. The churros make for a good sweet tooth cure. The protein bowls are tasty and a healthier alternative with avocado and chicken. Was hoping to get another protein, but you may have to specify. Overall, a solid place that doesn't break the bank! read more

A long time since I've eaten at El Pollo Loco, not especially surprising as I haven't eaten chicken in more than 30 years but when nowhere else is open this is where we ended up. The staff made me an excellent shrimp burrito & my son was very happy with the chicken plate. It was so good we ate here both nights! It's clean & the staff are friendly too, so, a definite recommendation. read more

Pollo loco is one of our family's go to food on lazy days when we have no time to cook. We've ordered Pollo Loco chicken so many times that it was just routine. But over time, we always had low expectations with chicken from El Pollo restaurants in Torrance as their chicken has been mediocre at best. You may ask why keep returning? Well it's easy and we do get good chicken on occasion. It's almost like the lottery, except when we hit the jackpot at Apollo Loco, the prize is juicy chicken! So on our way to Mammoth for skiing we stopped at Bishop for lunch and gas. Not wanting to waste time, we opted to fast food and decided on El Pollo Loco. We ordered what we normally order which was the chicken only, leg and thighs 8 pcs. My daughter has since graduated to burritos, but still took a couple pieces of our chicken. Big appetite that girl . To our pleasant surprise, we got chicken that tasted the way I remember when I first had Pollo Loco, YEARS ago! Damn! If Bishop weren't so far from Torrance, that would be our go to place. So in summary, I give this place at Bishop 5 stars! Back in Torrance, I'll try the lottery again and see if I get juicy chicken. Either way, I'll let you know. Stand by. read more

Great, fresh food. The food was delicious and the staff were very nice. Definitely coming back soon. Definitely recommend it
