    Bone in my burrito

    Bone in my burrito. Took a bite and pulled it out of my mouth. It was huge and could've caused injury if I didn't catch it.

    This are the best Chickens  I have ever taste.

    I went to el pollo loco today and i have to say. the chickens I taste were the best chickens of the world.

    Bad attitude, when I ask or creamy Cilantro she said ( another one)

    Bad experience here, came to get food with the family. Cashier has bad attitude. They had no lemon, I asked for creamy cilantro and question me if I already got one. Since they didn't have a name tag I asked for her name and said I dnt need to know it. No more salsa bar at any pollo loco. Over priced food, all they do is stuff a lot of beans and rice to anything. They lost a customer forever!!

    When I opened my bag at home after I picked up my order, I was shocked at how small the little package of foil was. I thought "that can't possibly be my dinner?" Unfortunately, it was was. Can you guess what this slop is? The picture makes it look bigger than it was but that's how it looked when I opened it. How appetizing. Epic fail! BTW, it's a chicken quesadilla (not a kids meal).

    I work all day and the last thing I wanna do is have to cook a full meal. I grew up eating el pollo loco as a child as a teen and as an adult and I love to share it with my family today after work when I went to go pick up my order my chicken was like beef jerky. I don't know if it was reheated, but I have never ever experienced. This picture will be included. I would drive to another. I'll Pollo Loco out of the way next time.

    Ehhh

    The chicken meal is usually a solid choice and was much better than my previous meal here. The breast and wing combo always gets you a very hot breast and usually two warm tortillas to make a few burros. I usually get the mashed potatoes and rice and both are adequate for fast food. Both salsas included are tasty as well for about $7 with coupon.

    Usually pretty good. Today irritated me. Worst feeling is when u get home after driving all the way here and find no dressing for your salad. El pollo locations vary. This one is pretty decent. I've had better and I've had worse. Salad with no dressing is not really a salad.

    Chopped wing ?

It was an exciting time when students learned they would be getting a Chick-fil-A, Qdoba, Papa Johns, and Jamba Juice. The Chick-fil-A in Cafe West even received a big upgrade this past summer. It's nice having such a popular restaurant right in the middle of the ASU West Valley Campus in the University Center Building (UCB) next to the Sun Devil Campus Stores and the Art Space West. The new and improved Chick-fil-A now works with GrubHub for pick-up orders. While GrubHub is an easy way to use GrubHub perks while placing an order, you can also walk right up in Cafe West and place an order on the kiosk, and then your number shows up on a board to share whether you are still waiting for the order or whether it is ready for you. You can receive a text alert when your order is ready, too, and the Chick-fil-A staff will also call out your order so it is difficult to miss it when your order is ready. The staff at Chick-fil-A and in Cafe West in general are very nice and helpful. They are used to helping the college students and staff, and they get excited when they recognize someone stopping by. While it would be easy to not talk to anyone thanks to the new system in place, I make a point to say hello and ask how the staff are doing. While this particular Chick-fil-A will does not participate in the Chick-fil-A One program, I still encourage you to sign up for rewards. You receive 10 points for every dollar spent on qualifying orders, and rewards start at only 200 points. At other Chick-fil-A locations, you can use the Chick-fil-A app to order and earn points. You can also receive occasional freebies including a free dessert on your birthday.

The gravy was runny as well. And sadly the extra crispy was not crunchy at all. Even the biscuits were blah. But... the Cole slaw was perfect. We ate it but I'm not sure I will go to another KFC again.

    I am submitting a formal complaint regarding my experience at the KFC located at 3550 W Thunderbird…read moreRd, Phoenix, AZ 85053, on September 15, 2026. My order was #754683671. I placed this order through the KFC app specifically for "convenience." The order was five chicken nuggets, Comeback Sauce, and a Hot Ranch Big Dip. The subtotal was $1.49, tax was $0.13, and the total was $1.62. I arrived after placing the order, parked, walked inside, and deliberately gave the restaurant ample additional time to prepare it. When I entered, I was literally the only customer there aside from one other person. I walked to the counter and was ignored for approximately five minutes. Eventually, an employee acknowledged me and asked for my order number/name. I provided it. I was then told that my order was "being made." I accepted that answer and continued waiting. Instead of immediately escalating the situation, I gave the restaurant additional time to fulfill the order. The wait continued. What should have been a very short transaction became approximately 20-30 minutes of waiting for FIVE NUGGETS. The situation became even more difficult to understand when a whole slew of DoorDash drivers arrived after I had already been waiting. I watched substantially larger orders get completed and handed out to them before mine. I watched two full orders leave the restaurant ahead of mine. Other people who arrived after me received their orders and left while I was still standing there waiting for five tiny pieces of chicken. That is the central issue. I had already placed my order through KFC's own app. I had arrived, parked, walked inside, approached the counter, waited to be acknowledged, provided my order information, and been told that my food was being made. Meanwhile, people who arrived after me were receiving substantially larger orders and leaving. HOW does a five-piece nugget order remain outstanding while later-arriving orders are completed first? I understand that restaurants can experience delays. What I do not understand is why a tiny order was apparently left outstanding while later orders were fulfilled, particularly after I had already asked about my order and was told it was being made. If there was a legitimate reason for the delay, someone should have told me. If the kitchen was backed up, my order had been overlooked, or there was an issue with the app or kitchen system, I should have been informed. Instead, I was left standing there while other orders continued going out. The KFC app is supposed to provide "convenience." In this case, the supposed convenience became the opposite. I used the app specifically to save time and make the transaction more efficient. I gave the restaurant additional time after arriving, yet still spent approximately 20-30 minutes waiting inside. I have one life. My time is finite and valuable. The fact that my order cost only $1.62 does not make my time worth $1.62. A customer's time does not become less valuable because the customer ordered a small meal. I ultimately ate the five nuggets in approximately 30 seconds. The fact that I spent roughly 20-30 minutes waiting for food that took about 30 seconds to consume makes the situation even more unreasonable. I want KFC to investigate Order #754683671 using the actual order and operational records. Please determine: 1. When was the mobile order received by the restaurant? 2. When was it entered into the kitchen workflow? 3. Why was I ignored for approximately five minutes after approaching the counter? 4. Why was I told the order was "being made" when I subsequently waited another 20-30 minutes? 5. Why were later-arriving customers and DoorDash drivers receiving substantially larger orders before mine? 6. Was my order overlooked, misplaced, deprioritized, or affected by a staffing, equipment, inventory, point-of-sale, kitchen, or order-routing issue? 7. What corrective action will be taken at this location? Please review the electronic records rather than relying solely on employee recollection. The order number, app transaction, kitchen workflow, and completion record should establish what happened. Please do not respond with a canned apology or generic statement about customer satisfaction. I am asking for an explanation of a specific transaction with a specific order number, location, date, and completion time. Order #754683671 September 15, 2026 KFC - 3550 W Thunderbird Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85053 5 pc. Nuggets + sauces Total: $1.62 Completed: 7:27 PM Five nuggets should not become a 20-30 minute ordeal in a restaurant where customers arriving later are receiving substantially larger orders. My time matters. I expect this complaint to be taken seriously, investigated using the available order records, and escalated to the appropriate management and franchise leadership. I expect an explanation of what happened--not a template response.

The total was over $100, and the pickup time was supposed to be 4:45. Plans for the viewing changed, so the night before, I tried for two hours to call this KFC to change the pickup time to 3:45. No one ever answered the phone. I tried again the next morning (the day of) after the store opened. No one ever answered the phone. Finally, I called the corporate customer service number. They were not able to change the time, but they were able to cancel the order. I was then able to schedule a new order for 3:45 pickup. My mom arrived to pick up the food, and it wasn't ready. They told her it was still in the oven- an obvious lie, because it wasn't ready for another half hour after that. My guess is they forgot the order or simply failed to plan for it, and they probably started making it after she arrived to pick up. Either way, she was then half an hour late to the wake, where guests had already arrived and there was no food. So thanks, KFC, for helping us send our loved one into the hereafter in a roomful of hangry people.
