The large sides- mashed potatoes, pinto beans and coleslaw. Tortillas.
Julie M.

This El Pollo Loco just opened up recently, replacing one nearby. It's close to a large retail food and shopping center so good amount of parking. We have had hit and miss experiences at various locations in the past but were anxious to try since it is in our neighborhood. It did not disappoint! Husband and I ordered the 12 piece chicken family meal because we like leftovers and decided to dine in. Server was manning the ordering-kiosk and helped us place the order quickly.. Out three large sides were Cole Slaw, mashed potatoes with gravy and pinto beans. Wish they still offered the black beans but there is a decent variety of side options. We tried each of the three salsas ranging from mild to fire. Avocado one was perfect flavor and heat, to me. Our order came with quite a few little tortillas. About a ten minute wait; the place was getting busier as we waited. It was about 5 pm. Drive thru also had customers. We picked up at the counter. Chicken looked good and for the first time ever there was steam rising from the bucket as we opened it. Potatoes were also hot. We had to go back up to the counter to ask for the gravy but everything else was smooth and problem free. The tortillas were so soft and fresh, the sides were pretty fair. Potatoes tastes like real potatoes. We had a coupon from a flyer sent to our house, but if you join the free rewards program they have even more personalized deals on their app. If they continue to food and service like this we will be back.

Grand Opening June 26th!

Our first visit here, but we're looking forward to many more!…read moreThe hubby and I walked in to be warmly greeted. We didn't know what to order, so the girl at the counter made some recommendations, some of which we ultimately went with, and were pretty happy about. They even accommodated my indecision between two waffles, by making me a customized half/half waffle of my two choices! AMAZING!! (See pictures!) I forgot to take a picture, but I also had their Regular Coffee, and it was goooood! Strong! I liked it!! ... ALSO, after our meals, we decided to try a Frozen Custard Sundae. We went with Strawberry, and it was YUMMOOOO!! (See pictures and video!) The place has a small indoor area and a bigger patio area, which is where we sat. The place was clean and well stocked (utensils, napkins, cups, drinks area, bathroom, etc). They even have boardgames/UNO for customers to enjoy, but we were so into the food that we didn't need the entertainment. LOL In conclusion: TRY BRUXIE!! ... Do it!!

This review is solely for their new buffalo chicken sandwich. I was told that this was new in their…read moremenu. And since I haven't been back here in a while, I gave it a shot. Personally, I was not a big fan of it mainly because of the overpowering buffalo sauce. Mind you, I've had nothing but great experiences here before, just not wowed by this sandwich. I love the "crunch" of a fried chicken and it just got lost in this sandwich. By the time I had my sandwich since I had it to go, it was borderline soggy. Although, I liked the coleslaw that was in the sandwich, which balanced the flavor somehow.

I had visited their Redondo Beach location before, so it's great to see they have a spot in Long…read moreBeach. Which made for a perfect meeting spot for me and a friend. She ordered the fried Hainan chicken rice, while I went with the fried Hainan chicken rice noodles. My dish also came with a couple of wontons, ground pork, and half an egg, which was a nice bonus. On a recent Wednesday lunch visit, we noticed most people were ordering takeout and we were actually the only ones dining in. Like the other location, you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. It's a very casual spot, and you can even request a bowl of chicken broth on the side. The food came out quickly, and everything was delicious. I ordered a Zebb Chicken rice to-go and it was still good for dinner!

This place appeared to be well rated with another location. We tried this one in Long Beach, it was…read moredisappointing as the place appeared to be busy but the cars parked in front were some other customer cars for the nearby business. The parking is hard since it's in the area of Long Beach with lots of condos, so you are fighting to find a place. Once we got inside we noticed it was empty, not a soul in sight except the cashier. We ordered a hainan chicken and a bowl of chicken noodle with ground noodle (sub egg noodle). They only offered dark meat or ground chicken, kind of sad as a chicken place. The broth was not rich and the chicken on the drier side. The pieces did not look like it came from the same chicken (usually it'll form the shape of whatever they cut up, but presentation was not their strong suit). The sauces for the hainan was on the saltier side and not as good as other places. The rice... Did they not throw in broth for it to cook? I did not taste much chicken flavor. The noodles, it's intended to be on the blander side, that's fine. The noodle though... It was as if they could've cooked a bit longer, they seemed to stick together and was not quite al dente so I stirred them around for about a minute to break it apart. Ground chicken, nothing special to season it with, at least it did not have chicken stench. Lastly, the door was left open, the amount of flies coming in was a lot. It was off putting. The neighborhood does not appear friendly or safe as the front door was boarded up. Also a sign saying there is no cash here (implying lots of robberies/burglers). I don't like giving low ratings, but the reviews for this place weren't... Convinencing.

Both items were excellent and packed well so piping hot when I brought them home! This is THE place for chicken soup or chicken broth! So tasty! I am currently on a liquid diet for a few days, and truly this broth has been very satisfying! Noble Bird moved to the Center Court several months ago. It's quick to get to from the parking structures. Plenty of seating (outside) with shade. You can also take your meal to Beachwood Brewery and join some beers. They did remove some items from their menu, smaller kitchen, that I truly miss. Their Chicken Salad on Blueberry Bread was awesome! Also miss the Chicken and Waffles. Hint, Hint! Their sides are still amazing. Chicken Wraps are great! And if you have any food allergies, they will take care of you!

Today i went back for the 2nd time since they moved to the new outdoor location within the same shopping center at 2nd and PCH in Long Beach. The first time i had placed my order to go. This time i was with my elderly parents and i decided to sit down and have lunch instead. I can say that the experience was definitely not the same as their previous location. The seating being all outdoors, The restaurant occupies a large patio with seating under umbrellas next to the sound of the fountain which is really nice. You order at the kiosk which is just a high table with the host. You pay and you find your table. Then they bring your food out. I ordered the Thai noodle salad with chicken and my parents ordered a bowl of the chicken noodle soup to share, as it is large enough for 2 to 3 people. Our waitress who was very kind and courteous brought us our food with an extra bowl for dividing the soup. However the bowl of soup is around 40oz and the only utensil we had to split the soup with, was a plastic tea spoon. So, i asked if she had anything else like a ladle or if she could have the kitchen do it. She hesitated a little as if she wasn't sure and then decided to take it to the kitchen. When she brought it back, it was obvious that they had just dumped half of the content of the one bowl into the other very unthought fully as if they really didn't want to do it. The bowl had drippings all around it. One bowl had mostly all the chicken and the noodles in it and the other just the broth. So, i fixed it up for my parents. My mother, whose appetite tends to spike with a good dish presentation, hardly ate anything. My father on the other hand does not care. So, he had most of the soup. My Thai noodle salad was good but nothing special. And to make things worse. We were constantly having to chase flies off of our food. I guess this latter one comes with dining outdoors. But i am pretty sure that restaurants must have a way to keep the flies away. In the end. It was not the best experience. I have no complaints about the food, but mainly about the kitchen Service and the annoying fly situation. I really don't know if I'll be back anytime soon.

Let me tell you, this is a very good spot if you want quick casual food, and that's tasty. During my 1st visit.... I ordered the chicken sandwich (mild heat) and fries... with extra comeback sauce aside. I must say, this gonna be the tastiest chicken sandwich I've tasted. Chicken is cooked perfectly: With the extra sauce, I was able to enjoy it alot more. For the 2nd visit, mac daddy and fries (chicken sandwich with mac and cheese). I normally don't eat chicken sandwich with mac and cheese, but it looks real good. Sure enough, it was delicious. Service is quick and great. Overall.... if you good food inside the hangar, this is your best bet.

We probably could have split one and been perfectly happy, which says a lot. And their fries that come alongside are a meal unto themselves, the kind of portion that could realistically feed a small crowd. The sandwiches are a bit of a commitment in the best way, which is to say they are rich and filling and you will absolutely need a nap afterwards. For a quick celebratory bite though, it really did the job. Will definitely be back.

It's obvious that Diana is passionate about her craft. She is so kind and helpful- We look forward to returning soon

***UPDATE FOLLOWING DIANA M'S *EDITED* RESPONSE***…read more After deleting her prior response to this review, she is now just focusing on the complaint about the online service fee. I never suggested that it was a "hidden fee", I just pointed out that it is a very high fee for ordering online. As pointed out before, ordering online directly from a restaurant does not usually incur a fee, let alone a $6 fee. If Diana feels that ordering online is so onerous, then maybe she should deactivate that feature and encourage her customers to phone in their orders. Diana should also consider not badgering customers that did not have a good experience with her restaurant and consider taking some classes in Customer Service 101. It's not a good way to run a business and the fastest way to lose customers. ***UPDATE FOLLOWING DIANA M's RESPONSE*** It's unfortunate that the owner responded with excuses and condescension. A simple "Hey, sorry for the mishap, we will make sure it won't happen again" would have sufficed. At least that way, she likely would have had a returning customer since the food is good. But now, no way Jose. And the $5.00 online service fee is egregious. I order quite a bit online and always try to order directly through the restaurants website to avoid fees. I don't know if any other restaurants that charge fees to order online unless there is a delivery involved. --------------------------- Well, not sure what to say. We put in an online order last night, which went through with a $4.95 service fee. (We ordered through their direct site rather than a third party sight to save on fees) If that wasn't bad enough, I showed up at the designated pick up time, and the place was closed. WTF? About an hour later, we were refunded our money, but why is the website taking orders and collecting payments when you're not even open? Talk about inconvenience. And clearly their posted operating hours are inconsistent.

If you're into Nashville-style hot chicken, Cluck and Blaze is definitely a spot worth checking…read moreout. I recently stopped by and was honestly impressed, especially with the portion sizes and flavor. I ordered the two-tender combo, and right away I noticed these weren't your average tenders--they were jumbo. Thick, crispy, and cooked just right. The outside had that perfect crunch while the inside stayed juicy and tender. You also get to pick your heat level, which is clutch whether you like it mild or want that real Nashville kick. The combo came with Texas toast, pickles, and their signature comeback sauce. The Texas toast was buttery and soft, perfect for balancing out the spice. The pickles added that tangy bite that cuts through the richness of the chicken, and the comeback sauce tied everything together--it's creamy, slightly tangy, and honestly addicting. I also ordered the Cluckin' fries, which come loaded with their comeback sauce and your choice of heat on the chicken. These were a whole meal on their own. Crispy fries topped with flavorful chicken and sauce--it's messy in the best way possible. I gave their mac & cheese a try too--it was okay, not bad, but definitely not the standout compared to everything else. Stick to the chicken and fries and you'll be happy. Pro tip: let your friends order extra pickles... you're gonna want more once you start eating. Overall, Cluck and Blaze delivers on flavor, portion size, and that classic Nashville hot chicken experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving something crispy, spicy, and satisfying.

You order at a window with one if the aunties working the cash register and once you get your food, they only have outdoor seating, though I usually opt to take home or eat in my car if I can't wait. Their dinaguan is top tier, but a smidge more pricy than some of the surrounding spots. I always get their lechon kawali, it's my favorite, especially when paired with the ruffles/fried intestines. I am almost always dying for a veggie item which is not some they specialize in here. I would definitely recommend bringing something vegetal yourself if you eat onsite.

It was absolutely delicious! Along with the sauce used, I would order this everytime I come out here! Other than that, my mom got the sisig and the chicken and said they were both good in her opinion. Other than that I would say this place is definitely worth it if you're looking to get your lechon fix in! Definitely give this place a shot!
