I tried to eat here once and they really annoyed me. I ordered in the app only to get there, wait curbside, and be told they were out of what I wanted! Mannnn, if y'all don't stop wasting my damn gas!!! But this time, $5 off coupon hit my inbox for my birthday and I said what the hell! I ordered the $5 chicken nachos and upgraded the drink to large for $0.20! So for a couple of dimes, I had a pretty hearty dinner. The nachos had some heat but they weren't nearly as hot as I like my food. The chicken had a good taste, and the chos came with queso, beans, sour cream, pico, guac...I mean, I would actually pay $5 for that AND A DRANK! They also gave me extra chips, pico and green guac looking sauce. I fcks with it...y'all chicken meals break the bank though! read more

El Pollo Loco - Chicken Nachos $5 and comes with a drink...not bad - Fast Food Near Me - Cypress, Texas

Ordered two double chicken tostadas online. Went to pick it up and my son was told he has to pay for the dressing. Tostadas were measly looking. No avocado slices nor sour cream. Chicken was not as it usually is. Did they change management because their service has gone downhill. read more

Stopped by on the way home wanting to grab something quick for the family. I didn't really want to get fried chicken from Popeyes cause we had just had it last week. I decided pollo loco so i could get something quick that wasn't fried. I ordered the 16piece family and sides. I got 16 pieces of old dry chicken. My family won't touch it. What a waste. At least Popeyes would have been fresh Smh. read more

This place used to be good, but looks like it's declined from its former glory. We ordered for pick up and when it got to our house the chicken quesadilla was cold, and in general the chicken itself on all our orders was cold. When this place was still new the food was great, but it's changed for the worse. This is the second time this has happened ordering take out, so I'm thinking this is now the standard for this place. Also, the taco bowl seemed to have shrunk and looked like they ran out of the cheddar cheese... Never again. read more

El Pollo Loco - Fast Food Near Me - Cypress, Texas

Food was dried out and just basically awful. Way over priced to offer measly amounts of chicken.

I ordered the 16-piece family meal through the El Pollo Loco app for about $40, which came with four large sides. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst experiences I've had. The chicken (all legs and thighs) was cold, dry, and tasted old -- so tough it was difficult to even eat. The rice and macaroni were also dry and stale, clearly not fresh. The only thing that seemed freshly made were the tortillas. On top of that, no salsa was included, which made everything even more disappointing. For the price, I expected a decent family meal, but instead it felt like I was served leftovers that weren't fit to eat. Extremely upsetting and not worth the money at all. read more

If you have never tried this place, your missing out. Fir a fast food pleace the food is delicious and is affordable for the amount and quality. We tried a quesadilla with beef and let me tell you for a chicken place. This beef was amazing. It was a lot like Barbacoa. I normally get the original chicken bowl I feel it is the perfect size for me sometimes I'll take a little bit home but a great deal and taste amazing. The chicken always has a great seasoning the rice and the beans together. Reminds me of HOME when I was little on Easter I would love to make a bowl of just rice and beans (my moms rice and beans are so good) and this chicken bowl reminds me of that flavor. read more

Awful service save yourself from coming here employees are extremely rude. Food is not that bad. But awful service. read more

the service is bad and they don't listen at all spent $73 on stuff that I didn't ask for nor do they listen to instructions

Came here to order food through drive thru. We were going to order the 8 piece family meal until we saw a sign for 8 piece family feast that is basically the same thing but you get a salad and churros. We were going to get that but they said they only have the leg and thigh and that it would cost an extra 3-4 bucks with the churros. Grant that their was a set price already on the menu. We decided to go with the 8pc family meal and then she asked mixed of leg and thigh.... We asked so you have mixed for the 8 piece family but not the the feast. She then was confused just as we were and said yes. We left it alone and stuck with the 8 piece family meal. When it came to our sides we asked for mash potatoes and mac and cheese. We get to the window and they say they ran out of potatoes yet we could see through the window the lady scooping mash potatoes. We were so confused. She then said oh we can give you mash potatoes. We get home only to realize the chicken are super small. I wish I took a pic but I was just hungry at this point. But the wing was the size of my two fingers and the legs had hardly any meat on it. The breast and their were bigger than the other pieces but not that much bigger. We paid 27 bucks for small pieces of chicken and 2 sides. It was horrible I advise you to not go here until they serve the right size chicken. The amount they charge for the little amount you get is not right. I also will add we tried to come here a few months before but for some reason the door was lock with people inside. Reach out to corporate and tried to figure out what was going on. They said they will send it to the regional manager and we will hear back. NOPE! heard nothing back. They were losing a lot of customers that day. read more

It was very delicious. I've been wanting to eat here because I tried a couple bites of someone else's order a while ago and I thought it was exceptionally good. So I went, it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh and really satisfying. I will be back when I want a quick alternative to all the other local Mexican restaurants. read more

I placed a huge order online only to get an email that said they did not get it. So I have to do it again and called the manager - when I got there, the order was not yet ready and they told me its gonna take another 10 mins - we waited and it took 50 mins. I love the food here but the service is crazy - there were customers going in and was not even acknowledged, so they wait and no one comes to the counter and they end up leaving - the restaurant was dirty . i was surprised because I usually have food delivered or drive thru , I am satisfied with the food but was surprised by the service inside. read more

Ok so i decided to order el pollo loco a few nights ago and its not around the corner from my house but i wanted something different especially after seeing the salad online, well i showed up an hour before close and ordered 3 different meals and the worker actually repeated the order back at the drive through because the inside was closed at 8pm with people still inside eating. I ordered and make it home and my son's quesadillas was a kids portion and cold and dry with hardly any meat and my husbands 2 piece chicken order was incorrect and the portion size was enough for my 2 year old granddaughter! My salad was NOTHING AT ALL like it was on the picture NO DRESSING! NO UTENSILS! It was only wilted lettuce and a few pieces of cold dry chicken! So naturally i was pissed! When your hungry you expect to get good food and the fact that i had to drive a little far really made me mad so i called and complained and the manager told me to come in to replace the order and normally I wouldn't go back! But i did this time only because it was such a disaster that i needed them to REDEEM themselves! So i go back 2 days later (7-12-23) and go inside now because its actually open and the girl at the register acted like she was scared to talk or she didn't understand what i was saying and she just looked at me! For a second i thought i was talking to a non working robot! Finally the manager Greg walked up and took and replaced my new order, which he was polite and gave me no issues and now im waiting for my food and its hot in there seems like the ac was off! But once my food was ready another guy who works there literally threw my food bag on the counter and walked off not letting me know it was ready and he seemed very rude!!! not to mention when i walked in at 1st I was not acknowledge! No one said a word! No one seemed happy! The energy is put off to the customers so now i am concerned about the quality control of the food. Small portions and my salad STILL was not right! ( what's so hard about making a salad) I was almost scared to eat it after seeing the staff acting like invasion of the body snatchers! NO PERSONALITY! I can definitely tell the food is made by workers that just need a check! There is no care or love put into this food at all! I will not ever go back or recommend! The lack of care and energy and cleanliness (food safety) of the establishment is a No for me! And i am only giving 2 stars because of the manager Greg! Who does seems overwhelmed because he is doing everything from what i can tell. The owner of this location needs to pay attention and regroup! NO REDEMPTION!!!! read more

El Pollo Loco - $16.87 for two "burritos" but tacos ? Not worth it! - Fast Food Near Me - Cypress, Texas

My son and I went into this EL Pollo Loco, noticed the attended behind the counter was talking it up with another co worker, was more concerned with that conversation than serving customers. She is a short, small, petite black female, shoulder length black hair just over her ears, about 20-25 years old, with a heavily tattooed appearance especially around her neck. She does have a nice smile. She finally decided to come over to the counter to take our order. She was cocky, obnoxious, full of herself in her own presence, appearing to be annoyed with our presence. I placed my order for a Classic Chicken Tostada bowl, with a chicken blanco burrito asking for a regular cup for ice water. This woman, placed a small clear child's size SIPPY CUP down in front of me. I asked for a regular size cup for my ice water. She responded "I don't THINK it's allowed" refusing to provide a plain paper cup to a disabled senior citizen standing before her with a cane and severely limited ambulatory ability, my son standing next to me to support me to prevent a fall. Her inability to "THINK", cost your establishment over $91 sales for in-house dining and a take out order. This young tattooed black female is an arrogant employee of your EL Pollo Loco dining facility. SHE IS NOT CUSTOMER FOCUSED. My son and I went to another El Pollo Loco facility where the staff there are CUSTOMER FOCUSED, KIND, CARING and more importantly are of the ability to "THINK". Your second facility was more responsive and customer care oriented, providing an old disabled man's need of an inexpensive regular sized paper cup for ice water to avoid multiple trips to the fountain and possible fall. JUAN who promptly served me with a regular sized paper cup for my indoor dining ($29.30 meal) later accepted our take orders ($62.32). JUAN was a nice caring young man, friendly, promptly greeted my son and I, taking our order, while providing a decent paper cup as requested for my ice water. My son and I had a fine meal, took home some great eats with our take out orders to our families in separate take out bags. My wife, my son, his wife and his two young boys enjoyed these 8 piece family meals. I suffer from severe heart disease and from severe vestibular disease affecting my balance and depth of field, requiring routine ambulatory support. None of this mattered to your Spring Cypress female employee counter attendant. When she refused to provide a regular paper cup, I told her she screwed up. She then promptly and arrogantly quipped "Have a nice day" as my son and I departed for another El Pollo Loco Restraunt. This ONE STAR REVIEW is for the CYPRESS ROSE HILL Rd EL POLLO LOCO Restaurant only. read more

One of the best El Pollo Loco's. Chicken was delicious - cooked to perfection! And the workers were so friendly!

Do not mobile order!!! Very upsetting. Placed an order within the app. Said it was set for a 40 min delivery time. Over two hours passed, their support couldn't locate the order so they just canceled it without any warning. I had to call three separate times to just try and get an update. Told me it will take up to 10 days to get the money refunded as well. Terrible experience. read more

My chicken soft tacos were really good. I got 3 tacos and a drink for under $7. I could see them preparing the chicken on a grill. Id definitely go back. read more

I have always wondered about this place... but we always just drive by. We were hungry for lunch at work and decided to peep the menu. We cautiously (I saw the other reviews- eek) ordered through a delivery service. I ordered the chicken meal with 2 sides. For the price- you get a lot of food. Chicken was falling off the bone. I loved my salad with the cilantro and cojita cheese. Charro beans (my fav) were flavorful. Guacamole was fresh! Their quesadilla was slightly underwhelming. I will be ordering again from them- looking forward to trying other options. (since we ordered delivery- I can't comment on the employees/facility) read more

For Texans who have never tried El Pollo. You are missing out. Buy the charbroiled pieces of chicken from the grill and you will be hooked. It's moist but not slimy like rotisserie chicken and has a smoky flavor. The skin is crunchy and flavorful. I typically order the salad as my sides and top it with the chicken and get extra salad dressing and pico. read more

First i get an attitude by the drive thru attendant then i get some old dry chicken, please refer to my picture. I am not happy paying almost $10 for some dry old zombie chicken. read more

So me and my fiancée went to this location last night as this was our first time going to this location and let me say never ever again. I ordered the tostada and he ordered the double pollo bowl and it was horrible. I tasted my chicken before we got back home and turned around and took it back it was dry, not really to hot and I believe it wasn't even fresh. Was going to have them remake it but wanted fresh chicken so the worker let me taste the chicken i said no it was still dry and not good so I just got a refund. Now mind you my fiancée's tasted okay till we got home and they had the old chicken at the bottom that was dry and crunchy. The lady that worked there had one blue glove on and she never changed it. I seen her cleaning the dining area and when i took the order back she continued to use the same glove no mam I was not going to let her remake nothing for me and she didn't even wash her hands and you just got done sweeping thats just nasty as hell. Unsanitary! read more

Service was terrible. Everyone who was working Saturday night (4/29) was terrible. No one could get our order right. Waited forever for our food. They made us pull around to curbside to get the second half of our order and then forgot about us. Also ordered a Diet Coke as a diabetic and they couldn't remember if they had actually given me diet as they were handing it to me, but didn't offer to correct it. read more

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! Avoid this location (as far as I know): 14124 Cypress Rose Hill Rd. Cypress, TX 77429 DO NOT use their app at this location. For those who were fortunate to get your order, lucky! - RUDE service from the drive through. - Me: offered my order # - She: shouted for my name - Me: gave her My name - She: RUDELY said "There are no mobile orders here." - Me: showed her the confirmation # from my phone - She: quickly shoved it off and said "I NEED A NAME!" - Me: "I gave it to you!" - She: "THERE ARE NO MOBILE ORDERS HERE!" (so why ask the name again?) - Me: "Is this the correct address (repeating confirmation location)?" - She: "YES!!!" - Me: Listen you're being rude and loud; if you have a mobile order can you not check the order # and see if they match?" - She: "I NEED YOUR NAME!!!!" - Me: "We're getting no where, and your attitude isn't helping!" Called customer service and requested a refund and offered feedback to suggest customer service needs training. Didn't report the lady. Could have had a bad day. We all do, but keep it cool and keep your composure. Them: "I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Expect a refund 3-5 business days" It has been 3 weeks. Business is a joke. read more

I stop by every chance i get. Only one of the few locations in houston. I grew up on pollo loco back in the west coast. Cravings satisfied!

I picked up the Grande Avocado Chicken Bowl today and paid $8.43 for it. I asked for light on the sour cream and no pico. Instead, I received a tiny amount of shredded chicken (suppose to be diced) no avocados or cabbage. I called and spoke to the manager to complain and she offered to make me a new one and apologized but I'm just in shock. They weren't busy and the drive thru line took forever. I just took the loss and accepted that I wasted cash on this. Thanks for ruining my lunch. read more

This is one of the slowest "fast food" restaurants I've been to. It is absolutely ridiculous. They take forever to do every single task. Is it stupidity? Do they not care? Do they not understand efficiency? Taking longer to cook fresh food is one thing. Taking forever to greet, take an order, take a payment is something totally different. It's a waste of time. What's strange is that the food takes no time at all to hand over. Not exactly sure that's a win. read more

the chicken avocado burrito was definitely 10/10. Rice was pretty good too. speedy service as well !

I purchased a 2 piece Chicken with black beans and cold slaw in the drive-thru because a sign was posted on the door advising there was no inside dining today. I was asked if I wanted chips and guacamole and chips, which I did. After arriving home and unpacking the food, I found a skimpy breast and a wing what still had its feathers. Disgusting. Obviously, I did not trust any of the food and deposed of it in the trash. See photo below. I will not be going back. read more

El Pollo Loco - Fast Food Near Me - Cypress, Texas

Being from California Pollo Loco is a definite must to go to practically on a every couple day type visits. Their menu is big and there's plenty of options but this location in Houston had me lost for words. When coming in we were a little disturbed to see a guy on top of the grills where chicken is cooked washing the vents. They only had chicken bowls, chicken quesadillas and like chicke plates but nothing like LA. They didn't have the extensive menu so that was pretty disappointing. The hot chocolate was definitely not Mexican hot chocolate it was very water down. Everything in the restaurant seems unmaintained. I was pretty bummed out and we had already ordered our food after seeing their dinning area. Probably wouldn't come back. read more

The hours posted on El Pollo Loco's website, Google, and Yelp are incorrect. This El Pollo Loco location is NOT open until 9pm.
