    Yum! The 8 pc family meal is my to go when I don't want to cook! Great deal!
    Monika P.

    Everything was absolutely perfect! We ordered a 8 piece chicken family meal, and every single item was fresh, hot, and delicious. The tortillas were soft, the salsa was packed with flavor, especially the avocado kind! The chicken was exactly what I wanted! The pinto beans, coleslaw and mashed potatoes were exactly what we hoped for. And don't even get me started on the churros which were still warm and perfectly crisp! Special shoutout to Andres at the drive-thru -- he was so patient and kind, even with our big order. It really makes a difference when someone takes the time to treat you with care. The drive-thru was clean, spacious and fast! This location truly exceeded expectations. We'll absolutely be back! Many thanks El Pollo Loco for a great Dinner!

    raw chicken

    normally love this place, the service is always great. my problem today was finding raw chicken in my salad. i frequent here and was actually disgusted when i found this. see picture.

    Crispy chicken taco
    Teresa C.

    The crispy tacos are amazing. I love them. The shell is actually crispy, not hard and stale. You know what I mean, I'm sure. You know how when you order a "crispy" taco sometimes the shell will taste as if it was fried last night and then put in a microwave to warm up. Well this isn't that kind of horrible taco, this crispy taco is freshly made and when you open it and begin eating the freshly made taco it will be obvious to you as well that it's made to order. If you haven't tried their crispy taco you are missing out and really should give it a try. I know I have been so happy that I've come back 3 times is a row for lunch. (I am a creature of habit, when I like something I usually will eat it again and again and then again, until I find my next favorite food item.) Anyways you really should try their crispy tacos. You will like them. I have always only ordered the meal with pieces of chicken and now I'm actually experimenting I guess you can say other menu options because one day I tried the side salad. I have to say that was great too. The salad dressing is amazing. It's very similar to another green salad dressing from a popular Mexican restaurant, tasted just the same. It's really good. The soup is also very good. So venture out and try something new at this restaurant like I did and I'm sure you'll be a happy camper, with a full tummy :)

    Never order the double chicken tostada salad. You actually get less chicken. Just order the chicken tostada salad. I've ordered this a couple of times a week and always got the double. it's a waste of money. The food is good that's not my complaint. Just be more consistent with portions. If I order a double it should be more chicken then single. Attached is a photo of a single. Not always does it have avocado slices. If you run out add more cheese or chicken.

    Rude employees like I repeated my order 3 times and they still were unable to follow the simple steps :| just wanted a pollo bowl with rice ,beans and chicken and they made a big deal of it and a lady was making faces and was throwing her hands up in an annoyed way. I also got another bowl with everything but beans and they put beans in them .I usually have no complaints but if your working with your kids at least be respectful to your customers. Also they left a lot of the bean juice in my bowl the bottom is gross

    Yummy food

She was very nice and helpful. We shared a piña con coco cocktail, which I really enjoyed. It had a spicy rim and was sweet, but not too sweet. We ordered the guacamole, which was made tableside. I ordered the enchiladas al comal, which looked really good. Unfortunately, I didn't love the chipotle sauce on the enchiladas and wished I had ordered a more traditional red or green sauce. But it was still good, and I can see why it's popular. I did enjoy the steak and vegetables inside the enchiladas. I was leaning toward a 4-star rating since I didn't love my enchiladas and wouldn't order them again. But Isabella's service was so excellent that it alone pushed my review to a 5.

The prickly pear margarita tasted more like a pink Jolly Rancher than anything else, which just wasn't for me. My fajitas were alright, but they came without any sour cream or guac and the pico was mainly onion. When I asked the waiter, he told me they don't come with it, even though the menu said otherwise. Without those, the fajitas ended up being really dry. I ended up just paying and getting ready to leave, but when I grabbed a menu again and asked about it, they apologized and offered me chips and salsa to go, which I appreciated. The staff was very nice throughout, but the whole experience felt a bit disorganized. Overall, it just didn't feel like a good value for the money, and I left pretty underwhelmed.

There was nobody else in the place when we arrived, but during our visit more parties came in to partake. Service was super quick, probably due to us being the first to be served, but I appreciated it regardless. I ordered cheese enchiladas with green salsa, and my love ordered carnitas. Chips and a mild salsa came out quickly, with the chips still warm. Yum! Rice and beans came with my entree, and all was scrumptious. The green salsa was tangy and full of flavor.

They do offer other things on their menu and they also serve alcohol beverages if that is of your interest.

Upon opening the entrance door, the sound of Ranchero music greeted us before a lady immediately led us to a table, walking past (through) the bar on the way. The bar looked well stocked, both with alcohol and patrons enjoying their libations. We were seated in the next room at a beautiful tiled top table which was plenty large for a party of six. Looking around, it was evident there were more similar rooms branching off ours. Nice. We were waited upon quickly and happily. Our meals were brought in a timely manner and on very hot plates for most of the dishes. I chose their Chili Colorado, which the menu boasted had won the California State Chili Cook-off. Chimichangas were ordered by a few of us. Tacos by others. House salad or taco soup was served With the plated meals. All around, food was good, the service better. We all had a nice gathering. To me, I'd say the food was average to very good. My Chili Colorado, (Texas Chili to me) was good, but very salty. Others said their chimichangas were good also I would definitely return sometime if I had opportunity to return to Lodi, to try the Chili again and enjoy their ambiance of an old memory. All in all I would say 3 stars for food. But the old country setting and decor along with great and friendly service bumps it up to 4 stars.
