    Lobby was clean. Staff was attentive, friendly, kind. Food was your typical take out. Will keep in mind for future visits

    El Pollo Loco use to be one of my favorites!! They no longer grill over an open flame that gave the marinated chicken a fantastic flavorful with the skin a golden fire roasted taste. The chicken used to be tender and juicy. Now- the chicken is flavorless and so dry you could barely swallow it. Very disappointing!! They still have friendly service.

    So although not the pollo loco I remember as a kid. They still have the tortillas and the citrus flavor on the chicken. Not a flavorful as I remember from 25 years ago but still better than others. The churros oh wow I couldn't stop eating them even after I was full.

    Food :)

    Whitney was very friendly and provided great service. Food arrived quickly and was freshly prepared. Atmosphere is similar to many casual/fast food dining rooms, but the decor is a little nicer than many fast food dining rooms. Good for families as they have kids options as well.

    Chicken nachos

    El Pollo Loco was close to the hotel where I was staying. I was hungry after traveling al day and opted for this place instead of the McDonald's next door. I was warmly welcomed by the friendly person at the register. While the nachos were a big portion and overloaded with toppings the meat and beans were sooooo salty that I tried to scrape most is them off. The chips and guac were good, but overall the food was too salty for me, The restaurant itself needs a good deep cleaning and one of the beverage dispensers needs to be repaired. Dont anticipate a return visit.

    Me enjoying a family combo with my brother!!

    The food here in El Pollo Loco is amazing, great costumer service by Edward De Leon Galvan He should be manager Best employee ever The ambiance here is just like being at home I love this place

    Chicken on the grill in a very clean looking kitchen

    Good Fast Tex-Mex Chicken I don't write many reviews of fast food, but I thought El Polo Loco deserved one. I can best describe this restaurant as efficient, tasty chicken with a Tex-Mex flair. Of course you are not going to get fine dining quality food here, nor did I expect it. But what I did get was a friendly staff, quick service and very tasty food. I typically get chicken rather than beef at any Tex-Mex restaurant so this place is right up my alley. If I am ever looking for a quick lunch, I can now add El Polo Loco as one of those choices to look for. One thing that particularly impressed me was how clean the kitchen looked and that there were rows of chicken being grilled fresh. So much better than some fast food restaurants that get all of the meat in bags to be reheated later. I think the cooking grill preparation is one reason that it tasted fresh and moist. My choice was the Tinga Burrito. Just the right size and filled with fresh ingredients. I can't give a fast food place 5 stars (sorry, just can't do it) so the 4 star rating of very good is my highest fast food rating. And that is what we all want from fast food, isn't it, very good?

    First time there. I got a chicken burrito with rice and beans. It had 4 tiny pieces of chicken. It had a good flavor but no chicken.

    Wild Cactus Cantina & Grill is a pretty cool spot to hang out, grab some drinks, and get some food…read morewith friends. We came here with a group, and the whole setup worked really well for just sitting around, talking, and having a good time. I probably wouldn't come here absolutely starving though. A lot of the menu is smaller dishes and à la carte items, so it's more of a place to grab some food while you're having drinks and hanging out. I had the beef birria taco plate with rice and beans, and it was enough to fill me up, but I definitely wasn't stuffed afterward. The chips and salsa were really good. The salsa has a decent kick to it, but apparently not enough to slow me down because I went through two baskets of chips and two ramekins of salsa. Our server was great. She checked on us regularly, made sure we had everything we needed, and kept the drinks from sitting empty for long. The atmosphere was probably my favorite part. They have regular tables and chairs, but also couches and comfy chairs, so it's easy to settle in and stay awhile without feeling rushed. Overall, Wild Cactus is a great place for some drinks, good conversation, and a little food along the way. Just don't show up expecting a giant dinner.

    Just left Chuy's in Denton and immediately remembered exactly why I became a fan in the first…read moreplace. We started things off right with chips, jalapeño ranch dip, and queso, which is honestly the only proper way to begin a Chuy's visit. The queso was warm, creamy, and exactly what my soul needed, and the chips with that jalapeño ranch were the cherry on top. Speaking of cherries, we also got the Tito's cherry limeade, and it was the spring we didn't know we needed to bounce. Crisp, cold, a little dangerous in the cutest way, and honestly adorable -- the perfect little kick to start the meal. Our waiter was top notch: kind, attentive, and somehow always there right when we needed something without ever hovering. That kind of service makes the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. For food, we ordered the Baja shrimp tacos, and when I say the shrimp is BIG, I mean it (and no, we're definitely not out here flattering any men ). The shrimp was cooked perfectly, flavorful, and absolutely the star of the plate. They came with rice and beans, and even though I forgot to ask for the cilantro lime rice , I was still super happy with everything. We also got the steak fajita Tex-Mex burrito bowl, and every single bite just kept getting better. The steak was tender, packed with flavor, and once it all got mixed together with the salsa and scooped up on the crispy tostada, it was perfection. This meal was such a good reminder of why Chuy's became a favorite for me in the first place -- fun atmosphere, great food, amazing service, and one of those dinners that just hits from the first chip to the last bite.

    Chuy's never misses! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is fun, colorful, and welcoming.

The Tex-Mex here is seriously top tier, and the portions are more than worth it. And let's not forget the creamy jalapeño dip... easily one of the best things on the menu! If you're looking for a spot with great food, great service, and a lively atmosphere, Chuy's is definitely the place to go. I'll 100% be coming back
