    I did a mobile order... I guess there were 2 people with same name... anyway I got my order although not sure they know how to read what sauces person wants. See receipt and see causes i received. Not mad just wish they'd read what the person wants. I'll be a returning customer obviously.

    Excellent food for a fast food place. Chicken, broccoli, guacamole, and burritos. Service was great. They're friendly and not rude like some fast food chains.

    This location has a drive through, when walking in it's very clear that they took intention on how the business was set up with call to order videos playing, the menu front and center, displays to let you know that they all have your graduation food ready when you order it " if you so choose to order for a party" The food was spot on for El Pollo loco. Some things I did not like... my server spoke broken "and I mean broken" English so it was very hard for me to understand her and Vice versa. #2. You have to ask for extra napkins. #3. They updated the App so now instead of just scanning your receipt after it's handed to you to get your points you have to scan before you pay. So basically I lost out on rewards points. The inside was clean and there is plenty of seating inside. #4 because the "take your order register is right by the door The entrance and exit bottles up and it was hard to get my dad out the door with his wheelchair.. oh yah one last thing, I ordered a double chicken bowl and they only gave me two " very chewy" small tortillas. (Charging more money and giving less, substandard food"

    Their chicken is sooooo good. And staff also nice! Salsa is not spicy enough, but their food is good enough.

For me, I am not a huge seafood lover- unless I am in Monterey or San Francisco. The vibe of this restaurant is pretty interesting. Think Dia de Los Muertos in a discoteca. I think this place better serves as somewhere to get drunk which makes the food seem better. The food is not bad , just doesn't stand out from anywhere else. On my visit, I opted for the chile verde with their handmade corn tortillas. The chile was spicy enough for me and the tortillas were fantastic. Shout out to the tortilla lady preparing those fresh all day! The refried beans were really runny- I should have asked if they offered whole pinto beans as an option. Service was pretty good, although I wasn't quite sure who our server was . We had multiple people come to our table during our visit. I think this restaurant is fun and interesting with solid food options. Would I be back? Yes, if I want to drink, listen to loud music and eat some damn good tortillas!

I've been here numerous times and they do offer special meal options depending on the day. On Sunday they offered quesabirria tacos, they were delicious. They put a lot of meat which is my personal preference. The consume was nicely flavored as well and comes with it. The menudeo was delicious as well. There are different options of beans, they offer however they are all so delicious. My normal order is the enchiladas verdes and you could never go wrong with them. The serving sizes are pretty large. In addition, they have a great kids menu for those with picky eaters. The services is good. Our server, Cesar, is the best server here and is very attentive to the table and is great at answering any questions you may have. This place is pretty spacious and they play music. They have different seating options which the host will offer. I'm not sure why the reviews are so horrible. It's never been my experience here. I recommend trying the place out if you're in the mood for some good Mexican food.

I chose the tortilla soup because it was freezing cold in the bar area , and it sounded good. The soup was bland , boring and had limited ingredients. I had to order a side of avocado just to make it interesting to eat. The menu itself is tired and outdated. The food is mediocre and overpriced . In fact ,almost everything is over 20.00 now. I used to come here for the happy hour appetizers , and to watch a game. With food this bad, I don't think I'll even do that anymore. The only thing saving this place from one star is the friendly staff and good chips and salsa.

They both came with fried beans, mexican rice, salad, and corn tortillas. The food was good, however, I feel the recipe has changed or the cook is someone differnt as the flavor of the carnitas is not as before in the past visits here.

Also came with rice and beans and homemade tortillas! It was all good. We also got asada nachos and it was great as well. You order your food from counter and they bring it to you. I tried the location in San Jose as well but this one is better. Rice was perfect and beans was ok. Nacho was good too but could have had more cheese. The chips held up well probably because we ask for the salsa on the side so it wouldn't get soggy. Will have to come back again when we are out in Gilroy.
