    Pollo bowl

    Last time coming to this place ask for 3 pollo bowls n they just gave me the chicken crumps for all 3 so disappointed.

    The nozzle blew off on the VW

    People here aren't kidding. There really is a 30 minute wait for chicken and they never have tea. Like, All the time! I started a game where I treat myself to ice cream every time they get my order wrong or incomplete. I hate ice cream now. It's dirty and sucks. I'll be back though. Strictly because of geographical convenience.

    Clean!

    Dining area, drink station and salsa bar very Clean! Cheerful and attentive staff. Very different experience from other fast food places I've visited recently. Chicken and sides were hot and fresh. Cashier Adolfo was very professional. He was patient while we decided on our sides. He was quick to acknowledge the rest of the waiting customers and assured them he would help them as soon as he'd finished with us. Excellent service from a very well trained employee, will be returning to eat here. Came back to this Pollo Loco after a couple of years. Nice to see it is still clean and staffed with enthusiastic workers. Maria helped us with our order. Same professionalism and service from her as other workers before at this location. It's nice to see workers here care about their job. They take it seriously and keep the seating area clean. Food is hot and salsa bar is fresh. I will be coming back.

Generous protein portions heaped on top of hot rice and I believe they also make their own ranch dressing, addicting! But really order extra jalapeños if you love spicy!!! And just letting you know I only had about 30 people show up BUT EVERYTHING WAS EATEN. This just tells you how delicious the food is. Not only with adults but TODDLERS and KIDS ate it too which actually deserves an extra star. I did omit the avocados that usually come with the chicken bowls cause I had no control as to when my friends were coming and I didn't want them to brown. Even though some of my friends showed up later the food was still good! No reheating or anything on my end. Enjoy!

Everything about this place hits right--the portions are generous, the food comes out fast, and the flavors are consistently on point. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or settling in after a long day, it's the kind of spot that never disappoints. The teriyaki is perfectly balanced, the rice is soft and fluffy, and everything tastes fresh--not like it's been sitting around. What really stands out is the value. You get a ton of food for the price, and it actually tastes good, not just "cheap good." The staff keeps things moving and is always friendly, even when it's busy. It's one of those places that becomes a go-to without even trying. Simple, reliable, and honestly kind of addictive.

I felt almost confused at first, like as if the restaurant wasn't even sure of its own identity. However, once I started eating the food, I understood and am extremely impressed. I had ordered the crawfish pasta, popcorn chicken (spicy), and fried baos. The pasta was cooked perfectly with chunks of crawfish and sausage in a creamy tomato-esque sauce. I usually don't care for crawfish, but it was so delicious here. The sauce was so buttery and creamy, and the sausage added a cajun spice to the dish. The components are all very seafood boil, but felt different and innovative with unique flavors. The popcorn chicken was seasoned very well and had the perfect fried, crispy texture you'd expect from popcorn chicken. What really made this unique was the sauce that it was served with. I am not sure what exactly the sauce is, but it tastes like a ginger scallion sauce that is served with Chinese boiled chicken. The sauce is a little more elevated and flavorful than a traditional ginger scallion sauce. I would've never thought to combine popcorn chicken with it, but it works! The fried baos were the most surprising to me. I was keeping my expectations low because I usually think frying something that's not normally fried doesn't always bode well. Fear not, the baos were fried perfectly. They were fried lightly while the inside kept your typical bao consistency. Also, in case you were wondering the type of bao, it is basically a steamed bao with ground pork, and I think an egg yolk inside. The flavors felt very much like traditional dim sum, yet new and fresh. Hats off to the chefs and the creators of these dishes. So innovative while still keeping the familiar Asian flavors! I ordered delivery, so this review was solely based off of the food.
