Popeyes is pretty expensive but if u like that good chicken and some Mac n cheese there anit nowhere else to go other then there

Never again will I come to this one I spent 13 to not even get my full order and to have the audacity to give me those f**king beans is diabolical when I asked for macaroni cheese and mashed potatoes and you said it was out. You should've just said the beans was out too. This is crazy never again will I come to this el pollo loco so unprofessional and I ordered churros and she never gave me the churros crazy I will never come here wish I could give no stars this place is horrible and it was about to close so I just know she took my churros home because if out why not say that read more

El Pollo Loco - 3pc leg and thigh meal - Fast Food Near Me - Oxnard, California

Dang Pollo Loco .. why you gotta do me like that ? The salad skimpy . It's a double chicken and avocado salad but hardly either of both. The pollo was soooo salty and dry as heck it increased my blood pressure. Service was amazing. I had to eat something before hitting the gym and I usually enjoy their salad but soooo disappointed. These salads come up to more than 12 bucks! I would've complained but had noooo time as I had to get to the gym! Ambiance was great as I had music playing in my car ! read more

Service was great! food was hot and cooked perfectly, great for fast food. Clean, pretty good for fast food restaurant

Oh boy, nothing like the counter staff superseding your selection then saying "Well that's what you ordered." I didn't. I tried to order what I wanted but counter staff selection took precedence. My health condition prevents me from eating rice and beans. Had to throw it out. ThenI had to go back, order, and for what I originally wanted. A simple lunch morphed into $20+. Keep far away from this location. read more

I would give this review 0 stars, if that was an option. This location is so inconsistent that we should not have gone back tonight. My husband and I both had salads that we could not even eat, due to all the soggy tasteless lettuce that had been frozen. Also, the chicken was so dry we just threw it away. Went thru the drive thru tonight so we called to tell them about the poor food but no one answered the phone. Never ever will we go back there. A waste of time and money! read more

Our avocado looked gross and brown. The lettuce was moldy and brown. Never coming here again! Have better standards. Paid $70 and this is what i get! Never again. Do better. I also found a fly in my food. Super gross. wings and all. Do not eat here! read more

The chicken was anorexic never have I been to an el pollo loco with chicken so tiny. I usually am able to save half for dinner when I order 4. I ate all the 4 piece and I was still hungry read more

El Pollo Loco - 4 piece??? Dry chicken... - Fast Food Near Me - Oxnard, California

Order mistakes from this location are basically a given. Despite asking, you can never get enough of the salsa you ask for and then a bunch of green salsas you didn't ask for. Manager was indifferent, rude and it was obvious that she had zero customer service skill. Wont be going back. read more

Great place to go if you enjoy chicken jerky! I've eaten at several El Pollo Loco locations but this particular restaurant serves the worst "over cooked" driest, and tiniest chicken pieces ever. Pathetic! read more

I usually go to the Pollo Loco on Vineyard after my workout at Golds gym. Today I was very unhappy with my salad. I usually get the double chicken salad without the tostada. I ordered and when I drove up my salad was ready. Tells me it was pre made. I got home and the chicken was very dry, probably used old chicken from day before. I couldn't even eat it. Pollo Loco needs to serve the chicken off the grill, not some old dried up chicken from day before. read more

I come here often and I've overlooked a couple of things from being short changed to missing items on my order but when it says opens at 10 am and I roll up 10 min pass cone up to intercom and am greeted when am ready and 3 seconds after am placing my order and nothing,not I'll be right with you,nothing . My patience is no more after thinking 3 times and saying hello I'm ready like a broken record and saying that I'm going to want a discount for gas wasted NOTHING!! finally I roll up to window and a girl finally shows her face saying we will open in 10 min we running behind,I asked why couldn't she let me know that when I'm over at intercome she said no one has headsets on.I told her they did when I rolled up and greeted me she said that was AI,wtf!! I say that if they don't let AI that they are running late,then maybe someone should have headphones and let customers know at least some courtesy will be appreciated. I pulled off to the side to wait for opening and a lady with two mentally challenged young adults stood at front door a few minutes,I finally rolled down windows and let her know the delay,like I said some COURTESY goes a long way and I imagine that they are on the clock to walk up to door and say we'll be right with you,now I see why this location has an overall low rating. read more

I was craving El Pollo Loco so badly since they don't have them where I live. I ordered curbside service, which was fast and friendly, but upon getting home, our chicken was burnt and extremely dry. I honestly can't believe they would serve food this awful. To say we were disappointed would be an understatement. It was so bad, we ended up having something entirely different for dinner. What a waste of $20. read more

El Pollo Loco - Fast Food Near Me - Oxnard, California

$12!??? For 4 teaspoons of rice and beans!??? For Rice & Beans!?? Please explain this to me? I understand the cost of living has gone up, but even when you are broke, you can always eat rice and beans. Sucks to say that I am banning Pollo Loco for life unless they become reasonable, nothing against their food, or employees but I will not be robbed or fooled. read more

The young lady at the drive thru window at the Vineyard Location is extremely rude!!! She definitely needs some customer service training!

I had order through door dash.. three piece combo with rice, side salad and chips and salsa with a regular drink. When my order arrived I had a just a two piece. Chicken was burnt, even the replacement chicken was burnt. Tortilla chips burnt with no salsa and no salad dressing. I called and asked if I could just get the order I order and manager Jose said yes that's fine. So now I'm inconvenienced and had to drive and wait in the drive thru because the inside dining room is closed(hints why I ordered through door dash). When I get to the window I repeated the order and gave my receipt. The workers at the window says oh we're only replacing the chicken.. Okay cool I'm not going to argue. I asked for dressing and salsa. I'm handed a small cup with a spoonful of dressing. Not even enough to cover the little bit of salad I had gotten. This is ridiculous. I get it's COVID and people are overwhelmed but come up your customers are overwhelmed and spending their money. At least get the orders right or serve food that can't be enjoyed.. El Pollo Loca needs to do better. read more

I ordered the three piece chicken dinner, which is normally two breast, and one leg. I also ordered six legs. When I get to the window to pay, the lady did not speak one word of English I don't and I don't speak Spanish . When I got home, all of the meat was burned out and my chicken dinner ended up to be two thighs and one leg. My wife and I decided this will be the last time we visit that Pollo Loco. If I have this time I will give them one star max and that is being kind read more

March 13, 2022. These are people waiting at the el pollo loco at 11:22am because the mgr. has not opened the store. I finally got to place my order in the drive thru. I asked to speak to the mgr. but I was told mgr. was busy making salsa. No wonder the store is closed since the mgr. is doing prep instead of being a mgr. I finally got my food and they forgot one of my sides. As I sat there I saw multiple people come to the door and walk away because sitting area was still closed. If I was the owner I would probably fire this mgr.. As a customer that commutes from LA to Oxnard several times a week, I will never come back to this el pollo loco. read more

I have been through the drive thru multiple times hoping for different results but unfortunately the same every time, long waits. Tonight I sat for over 40 minutes. I should I have left but after a certain part of the drive thru it's impossible. Then when you get to the window no acknowledgement or gratitude for the wait. I think today was the last straw. read more

Aileen and Kenshin always take care of me! I love my local El Pollo. Always great customer service

They always seem to get order wrong or forget to put all in the bag and we have to go back.

I ordered in advance on El Pollo Loco app so I don't have to wait.... When I arrived on time there was just one person ahead of me and the place was empty. I still had to wait about 10 minutes for the food to be ready. While I was pouring for my drink, cashier wrapped everything in the bag very tight. I didn't get to see him put in the sauces, so I asked for them but he just stared at me for little bit then said sauces are all inside. It was all good, just very slow reaction lol. It's been about 20 years since my last El Pollo Loco.... I gave 4 stars because my palate recognized the flavors. They were very consistent with what I had about 20 years ago. Chicken was very tender and juicy. Chips and salsa were delicious, too. Hopefully everything stays consistent after another 20 years. read more

This is the only El Pollo Loco that I go to when I'm craving grilled chicken. I usually only come when I get some coupons in the mail, making the family deals worth the money. The layout of their store is very crammed and the parking lot is not well lit at night. Getting in an out of the restaurant parking is hard too because the drive thru ends right where the entrance to the street is so people finishing their orders have to take turns exiting with anyone else in the parking lot trying to do the same. The salad bar has been well stocked every time I visited and the workers were always kind. read more

Worst El Pollo Loco I have ever been to. What's Loco is the fact that I have been told several times that they don't have Breast & Wings. Yet you can order a Pollo bowl or Burrito with breast meat. Every other time the chicken is dry. This location is lousy. read more

Their closing hours say 10:30pm Monday thru Friday yet I'm here at 9:45pm and they are closed they blocked the drive way with a red camaro what kind of business does this crap false advertised hours water my time and money on gas coming here read more

Bad service. Leonor didn't seem to be so happy to be at work today. She had a very bad attitude since the minute we walked to the counter, her face said it all. Leonor didn't greet us or made us feel welcomed. She got my order wrong and blamed me for it and didn't even apologize. To top things off she didn't give me a refund for the over charge until I inquired about it. read more

THERE IS ROACHES AND ANTS EVERYWHERE!!!! if it was possible to even just put 0 stars I would. This rest is a joke and there is no where to sit with a table filled with trash. One of the workers were joking about having Covid and all the customers in line heard and they looked really uncomfortable. read more

Just got double chicken nachos 3 pieces or cubes of chicken you need to ask them to put some chicken

Came in at 9:10 pm on a Saturday night - doors were locked and the employees just continued to ignore us! Ridiculousness!!! A well established fast food restaurant should not be closing early for no reason! read more

El Pollo Loco - Fast Food Near Me - Oxnard, California

Bad experience overall! My father who is a senior citizen went to buy dinner, first they wouldn't take his card because it has a chip. Note, I have paid numerous times with a chip card and there hasn't been any issues. Second, he asked for salsa and they said they didn't have any. It's 5 o'clock in the afternoon, how can you be out of salsas already? I would understand if it was close to closing time. Third, he asked for plates and they gave him some that looked like had been taken out of the trash, dirty all over. Not to mention the customer service he received was horrible, the employee was rude all along. They definitely need training, or change profession if they don't like to assist customers. read more

Usually our weekly meals arebut not this time. My Avocado/chicken Burrito was A-- the chicken had an awful taste n dry/hard to chew, not their full flavor n juicy. It was hard to chew n had a terrible taste! I threw it away! This should not have been served to anyone. It was awful!! But my husband's 4 piece was great as usual. They were extremely busy but if you keep serving this type of burrito it'll hurt your business. Sorry. read more

We seen the advertising on tv for the tamales, and it said 4 tamales and a side for $5.99, Decided to try them , so went through the drive thru and find out it was false advertisement, it was $6.99 for 2 tamales and a side, got home, tamales were very dry and no taste of much chicken , there not very good and not worth trying them, we're thinking about buying for the holiday but it would be embarrassing to have El Pollo tamales . Horrible. Paul & Dorothy read more

Tacos use to be better. The green sauce is very watery as of lately ... inconsistent and that drive thru is a pain so minus another star for that read more

I typically don't do this and I have refrained from writing a review because I go there often for lunch but it's long overdue. I've received my Double Chicken Bowl without chicken, I pay extra for cauliflower rice and they forget to add it. Today, my food was cold and my Tapatio fries were stale and with no tapatio seasoning. Like how? It wasn't busy so I'm not sure why this experience was horrible. Lastly, I'm very big on salsa so when I ask and they don't give me the salsa, or they say it's in the bag and it's not, it's a bit frustrating. read more
