    mutilated chicken wing, not happy with it, restaurants charge an arm and a leg for the food so I personally expect near perfection.
    Monster X.

    Other than this mutilated wing, my order was perfect, well done 6 wings and 2 breast with salsa and a flour tortillas, next time I go back, I'm gonna show them this picture and say this is not what I want and I'm sure they will accommodate. I love El Pollo Loco!

    Everything you get for the Dinner for Two! So much food for $11!! (With coupon)
    Kim V.

    We received a coupon flyer in the mail that advertised $4 off for dinner for two. You get 4 pieces of delicious chicken, two side salads, two small sides, 4 tortillas (corn or flour), and two churros for dessert! The meal was absolutely delicious and the drive through service was quick and thorough! Even without the coupon, we felt the meal is worth the full price! We will add this to our monthly dinner takeout!! Very great first impression! Nom nom nom

    I went in with a craving for a chicken meal sad to say I was disappointed. I ordered the 3 peice meal 2 breast one wing. All of the chicken breast skin were rubbery with no flavor. The sides were fine I had the pinto beans and rice. Just very disappointed in the chicken.

    Crusty Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

    DO NOT COME HERE!!! Trust me, if you are hungry, trying to feed yourself or family, DO NOT COME HERE! This is the THIRD time I try to give this place a chance, and I'll never come back. They do not follow any health protocol with their food! This review is my last straw, but every time we come here this place really sucks! Not only is the entire place TERRIBLE where they don't care about customer service and good quality, they are so rude to customers. They make you wait for about 5 minutes to hand you your order, get upset when you ask for salsa and always always forget something crucial! Last night did it for me. $28.86 later, we got charged for churros AT THE WINDOW for them to say after we've paid that they were out and gave us a large drink Instead. They gave us 1/2 filled salsas and 1/2 filled dressings. Both of our large loco side salads had old, slimy lettuce. They did not put the chips that come with the salad, and the cabbage started to bleed into the bowl since it was disgusting. The soda was flat, the mashed potato gravy was crusty and old. Also, the chicken was dry, over cooked and I'm sure was sitting in the warmer for hours. We have only been inside this location once, and it was dirty, the salsa bar was empty and there was dried salsa all over their bar. The location and their carelessness will get you sick! I'm not even sure how they pass their health inspection.

    I hate that they were out of consome' but the food was delicious. I stopped in for dinner while visiting the Henderson, NV, area. I loved it. I wish we had one in the Atlanta area. Parking is ample and the food is served quickly.

    Food is old and not fresh! The floors and tables are dirty, and the customer service is very poor. Stay away.

The flavor is on point and it's always satisfying. The only dish I wasn't too big on was the posole. It wasn't bad at all, but it didn't taste like traditional Mexican posole -- it leaned more toward a Tex-Mex flavor. Again, not bad, just not what I personally look for when I'm craving authentic posole. I also love that it's not overly popular to the point where you're waiting forever to be seated. It has a nice, relaxed vibe. That said, I really hope they get more clientele because they deserve it -- I'd love to see them expand and grow. Definitely a hidden gem!

I had chicken and my daughter ordered the shrimp. They came with rice and refried beans. I've ordered these at various Mexican restaurants and received rice and beans that were very dry! That was not the case at Hussongs. Those sides were moist and flavorful. The fajitas were sizzling hot and chicken was tender and seasoned. Even the peppers and onions included with the fajitas were cooked fully and meshed so well with the chicken and shrimp. We also ordered blackberry margaritas which were properly frozen and were delicious! My daughter and I enjoyed everything and were glad we gave this place a try! We'll definitely be back! Ambiance was relaxing, comfortable, and not overdone. Lastly. the service was good and attentive. One of very few establishments where every employee was pitching in wherever help was needed. Nothing negative to say, in my opinion. Enjoyed dinner very much!

The chicken tacos were also around a 5/10. The chicken had a yellow color that threw me off a little, and the flavor didn't really stand out to me. I was also expecting refried beans, but they serve pinto beans instead, which was a little disappointing for my preference. Overall, the staff was great and the place has potential just hoping for a little more flavor next time.

She acknowledged every other table plenty of times, but never stopped by us again. It's unfortunate, but the owner sent us shots and the fedora man really tired to make up for it the trash service we received from our server.

After our last trip when we received absolutely crap service and the manager tried to make it right by comping us, she indicated that the next meal "was on her" and urged us to come back "and give them another chance".. I took her at her word and contacted the restaurant to let her know that I was going to bring my wife and her parents to the restaurant for her birthday. So I contacted the restaurant and informed them that we wanted a reservation for four and that was my wife's birthday. I was contacted and told that they would do something special. We showed up and the front girl was "perfunctory at best". We were seated and waited 20 minutes before we received any water or chips. However, the staff was busy bustling to set this large table in the middle of the dining room for a group that wouldn't show up for 10 minutes. They literally had their chips, salsa, water etc. 10 minutes before we did and we weren't even there. When we did get a waitress she was perfunctory and less than friendly. When I told her we were there for my wife's birthday her answer was "oh that's nice". Far cry from "we will make the evening special for you". We got our food which was fine but absolutely nothing. Throughout the meal the waitress spent all of her time chatting with the large group in the middle - obviously her friends or whatever because they got five star service while we were simply ignored. If we wanted to get a refill of a glass of water or in my father-in-law's case, some sour cream, had to literally get up and pull her away from her buddy table to get service. In addition, not a happy birthday, dessert nothing. So much for trusting the manager when she said that she was going to comp the meal or even at the minimum do something to celebrate the birthday. If we went to something as mundane as Applebee's my wife would've got a piece of cheesecake lol. Very disappointed in this place. We love the food but the service is just crap.
