    Queso Guacamole Chicken Burrito

    An amazing experience. Friendly staff, great portions, delicious food, quick service. Not to mention the welcoming ambiance. I cannot even believe it. Best day of my life.

    TLDR/ Food: Great! Service: Decent, Ambiance: Retro, Sanitation: Clean! This was our first time visiting this El Pollo Loco location. It did not disappoint! The food was served hot, fresh, and filled with flavor. The staff were courteous and gave good recommendations for both food and salsas. I would come here again in a heartbeat and plan to whenever I am in the area! The music was weird mix of classic 50's and 60's ballads and pop that gave me hard #Fallout New Vegas vibe. The tables were constantly being bussed and cleaned by a cheery staff member and the front counter line was not too long of a wait. Ordering was easy, as the cashier was both competent and polite. This is a great El Pollo Loco and I highly recommend them for either brunch or lunch as they have a great selection of quick and delish foods! If you try it out, like me, you will be asking yourself "Seriously, why have I never been here before?" As you stuff your face with tacos, burritos, and the like. Try it, you shall see, and become a Pollo Loco believer, like I am!

    Pomegranate Açai drink, chips & green salsa, and taco al carbon

    I went here yesterday early afternoon while I was waiting for a rider to pick up from an international flight. It was different and closer to LAX than my normal place I would usually wait at. The parking close by is a little bit crazy and cramped. But if you maneuver around and find a good spot, that's the only battle I faced. The rest was a wonderful visit here. It was the eye-catching big El Pollo Loco overhead sign that I saw from a close by parking lot, which lured me to here. When I arrived inside the restaurant, there were only two people ahead of me. Before I knew it, I was up to order. The cashier lady helped me order as I was still undecided. Well, when I asked if there were any specials, she said no. But she told me, if you get the 3 tacos al carbon, it comes with tortilla chips and salsa and a fountain drink. Since I am all about tacos, this was an easy yes! These chicken tacos did not disappoint, and I love the medium spice green salsa I put on them as well as the red mild tomato no spice salsa that used on the tacos and dipped my chips! To drink, I had the Pomegranate Açai vitamin water. I love that flavor, so I didn't drink soda. The combo meal was only $7.92 with tax, which is economical these days . I also ordered a BRC burrito and it was so good as well! That put my total up to $13.45, but money well spent! It was cool sitting inside this place. It was clean and comfortable to wait while eating. I think I found a new spot to wait for my riders to come in! I will definitely be back here. Please give them a try too!

    Yelp stated that they were closed. The restaurant said they closed at 9:30 pm. I had an avocado and double chicken salad. My sister had 2 pieces of chicken and 2 sides. She was able to get a keto tortilla. We were very pleased.

    Do they make Vegan Tacos yet LOL? While I was out grabbing food for myself, I got a call to see if I'd pick up a special order for one of the celebrity guests who was craving tacos & baked chicken. I faintly remember El Pollo during my Arizona days. Yet, I don't recall the the upscale of the dining area, the quick & friendly service from cashiers, food preps & even the cooks who gave out smiles through the open kitchen window. Fresh marinated & grilled chicken so many ways. Why did it take me a few minutes to comprehend what crispy tacos were...just say hard shell tacos (smile). Nevertheless, great satisfaction for the tacos & it showed on camera. To note, you don't get charged for condiments as the self serve bar is fully stocked.

    I would have liked the taquitos or whatever I've had before, but these chicken tacos worked fine. They were indeed good, as were the sauces.

It's actually a very nice space, looking out across The Point. What this restaurant/café offers is a nice selection of what I would call Americana food, with a bit of a twist. They have all the expected items, burgers, salads, etc. For brunch, I recommend the avocado toast, it's pretty good. They also have a very nice selection of drinks. For those people who come here for cocktails, there's a very nice menu to choose from. Plus, they, of course, offer beer and wine. As expected, they also offer sodas and other soft drinks. You access these drinks yourself from the fountain over to the right side of the interior of the establishment. I never drink that stuff but from what I can see you can go and can get as many refills as you want. Overall, the weather permitting, this is a very nice space to enjoy cocktails and/or a meal. The staff here all seem to be really nice. They do their job well And, you can have an enjoyable experience, dining, or having a drink here.

Plastic forks and knives individually wrapped in plastic at each table, along with napkins. You order and pay at the counter. They hand you a number that you place at your table and they deliver your food and drink. I ordered an avocado toast and spicy watermelon margarita. My cocktail was served in a a glass. It was delicious and strong. I could tell there was alcohol in it. The avocado toast with a side of eggs was served on a paper plate. Not certain if the eggs are real or not. The fried onions on top sort of cheapened the avocado toast. The atmosphere and cocktail are better than the food. The staff are friendly and efficient. Parking: Plenty of free, shared lot.

    The Staff here has been especially helpful and kind, one incident in particular was heartwarming…read morewhen my son received a "Kid's Meal" Cane's "Toy" which was a helicopter gadget that spun and flew, but our fault, user error, it flew up onto a park building roof, so we came back to buy another one via another Kid's Meal, hoping the promotion was still active with that toy to replace. We first asked if it was and explained our situation, and the employee searched and confirmed that it was still available and offered us a free replacement out of compassion, kindness and care. It was a great experience. Of course, since we were there to eat, we did buy a Kid's Meal and did get the toy we wanted for a Happy Ending and a delicious meal. It is our "go-to" Cane's location and is neighbor to many restaurants and close proximity to the Toyota Performance Center's Ice Skating / Hockey rink too.

The service was nice. Staff were courteous, the line moved pretty quickly, and I was able to pay right there when you ordered and be on my way. The chicken was warm not hot. That said, the chicken strips seemed a little smaller to me than they usually are, and the bread was a little bit off from what I am used to at other locations. Not bad, just not quite at the same level I have had before. Overall, it was an okay experience. Because the staff were polite and everything moved smoothly, I am giving this Raising Cane's 3.7 in my head and rounding it up to 4 stars on here.

    Sit right back and you'll hear a tale - a tale of a fateful fish! Follow along…read more.. Not much of a seafood fan, I was originally introduced to this fast-casual restaurant location about 15 years ago - agreeing to meet a friend for a meal there because she said they had chicken options. Thankfully, she was a generous person who let me try a bite of her Swai, and I was sold, coming back and bringing my family for meals on the regular. Sadly, as a regular, we noticed the service to be consistently inconsistent - unfriendly staff, uneven delivery of orders from the kitchen to the table (once, my whole family finished their meals before my Swai wrap made it out of the kitchen!) and not-so-clean spaces. We gave them a few chances, but eventually, removed this spot from our rotation. When the Culver City location - which is actually closer - opened, they had a different menu and it seemed our favorite items were no longer on it. So we really didn't visit there, either. And then came 2020, and as we all know, the industry has changed significantly. So... while bouncing around a last minute "let's get dinner, but the rotation feels old," I said to the fam "Let's check the menu and give Fish Grill another try!" And glad we did. The most recent menu updates have fresh and zesty items that also hit as being similar to old favorites. And though Culver City is still closer, we decided to return to El Segundo. Off the top, you could tell the space was clean and actively being kept up with sweeping and table clearing. Two very large screens replace human ordering, though there was a human helper to answer questions, and a backup human cashier to help to expedite the growing line. Brought mom, who 15 years and a lot of technology after first introduction to this location, is 79 and was not comfortable with screen ordering, but knowing a human could help if she comes back without her tech team is helpful. The human also came in handy to answer questions about the menu that were not obvious to answer (what ingredients need to be deleted from the honey citrus bowls so that they are not "spicy"? That would be the Ponzu)... tech aside, ordering was easy. The kitchen was fully staffed on this Friday evening and working hard to keep orders together. We had enough time to get settled at a table and fill our fountain beverages, and our name was called. Yes - you now pick your order up from the counter. But - at least our entire order was ready to go together! The plating of each entree was higher level than most fast casual spots. This was definitely not your sterile Panera white! Bro ordered the Triple Shrimp plate, and really enjoyed the different textures of the shrimp prepared. Mom ordered the fried Swai tacos. Though she enjoyed it, she did comment that there seemed to be more batter than fish in many of her bites. I ordered the Honey Citrus Shrimp and LOVED it! Of course, without the ponzu, it was sweet, and tangy. The shrimp was fried before it was completely coated. I ordered with slightly healthier brown rice and avocado. It was a chef's kiss meal to me. We also ordered a side of garlic toast. Actually, I'm not sure that I would call it toast as it was grilled but soft. It was covered in Parmesan. Though very good, I would have liked it to be more toasty. Very noticeably, the team was generous with requests for extra sauces - you must try the Tartar and Garlic sauces! And a nice touch was that the Raspberry Iced Tea had apparently run out, and when the new brew was in place, the manager walked around to each table to let them know there was fresh tea available if they were interested. The team was busy hustling, but took the time to be friendly. This was the experience that should have been years ago! So, at the moment I'm leaving 3 stars for all these positive points. I'm reserving the last 2 stars to come back and see if this is the new consistency, or if this really delightful visit just happened to be a fluke. And though I do eat a little more seafood now than I was willing to 15 years ago, I actually can't wait to try the Chicken version of the Honey Citrus bowl I enjoyed - and who knows, maybe I'll boldly try it with the (spicy) ponzu!
