    Spoke too soon... dirty gloves in my food bag? If that's raw chicken on the glove you could get shut down... ridiculous

    This is the worst el pollo loco around. Avoid for all reasons, bad drive thru customer service and now dirty gloves in my food bag? Wow.

    Cockroach in my food
    Anthony C.

    I found a cockroach in my chicken bowl yesterday. Staff didn't seem surprised at all.

    Side of broccoli

    Went through the drive-through Monday evening, came home to open up and see that the broccoli was molded. I would like to receive a refund. Why even serve molded broccoli? Why not say you don't have fresh broccoli or at least give me a fresh batch then to serve me this. Immediately was trashed when I got home didn't feel like driving and going back such an inconvenience.

    Look at my piece of chicken.. ... breast meat missing where did it go?
    Connie A.

    Yesterday I went with my Dad and we bought the 12 piece mix, which means breast (white meat) well look at our surprise when our breast were missing meat from it!!! They take out a big piece of white meat, put it in salads and burritos and make double. This is unethical and bad businesses what you think we would not notice????

    No creo justo pagar 10 dl por una quesadilla rellena de lechuga 2 pedacitos de aguacate y solo como media cucharadita de pollo bien deshecho con queso ...abundante la lechuga...muy mala calidad en la comida

Our dishes were outstanding i ordered the molcajete and it totally exceeded my expectations. Portions are generous. Every side is freshly made not canned not pre made; as well as the aguas frescas. My lemonade was refreshing and well made. Needless to mention their sauces....so yummy. Prices are reasonable.

Super fresh, loaded, and jam-packed with flavor. The tacos gobernadores were another 10/10: cheesy, savory, with perfectly tender shrimp. I also tried Sinaloa-style machaca for the first time, served with refried beans and queso fresco. It was a little on the drier side, but still delicious and packed with veggies. The camarones a la diabla had such a flavorful sauce without being overly spicy, served with rice, beans, and flour tortillas. And of course, their tasty micheladas paired perfectly with everything! Definitely check out El Sinaloense and thank me later! One waitress was a lil rude passive aggressive but the next 1 that actually took care of us was very attentive , friendly and helpful. Its a casual family friendly restaurant. #ElSinaloense #ParamountCA #SinaloaStyle #Mariscos #LAEats #FoodieFinds #SoCalFoodie #MexicanFood #Annette7LA

We actually asked for one of the dishes to be replaced, thinking maybe it was just a bad batch, but the replacement came out just as salty as the first one. At that point, there wasn't much we could do. The chefs gotta lay off the salt And the water... I honestly don't know what happened there, but it tasted like I was drinking straight from a water hose attached to the la river bed . I've had better-tasting water in Mexico. The meals were also way overpriced for the quality and quantity we received. As someone who genuinely appreciates Mexican food, this experience was especially disappointing. I'm sorry, but based on what I was served, I just can't consider this genuine Mexican food. I can't recommend this place If you're hungry and looking for a good Mexican meal, I'd suggest searching for another place and skipping this one.

Young guy talking about his $12 Taco lunch boxes, wet burrito, loaded twister fried and more... So like any good foodie I had to check them out because the hard shell tacos looked fabulous and fabulous tacos is a must!! Quick trip to Bellflower and were there i was lucky because there were only a few people there when we arrived, but once I stepped in line I swear 20 people showed up LOL!!! The wife wanted the Taquitos Loaded with a Large Pepino Aguafresca, I ordered the hardshell taco plate and Large Jamica the taco plate comes with 3 tacos, rice and beans. For my meats I chose Asada, Al Pastor, and Caritas. Hands down the Caritas and Al Pastor are the way to go so much flavor in both, rhe snap from the taco shells perfect. Seating is around both sides of rhe building if you cant wait to eat... The Aguafresca was sweeter than I'm used to but nothing ice and thin out. Overall the food was Bomb and service with a smile.. Next visit will be the Loaded Twisted Fries & Wet Burrito this should feed my family of 4 Hahaha!!!

I ate it 2 days later, reheated it.. still bomb!! I read some reviews saying the carne asada was flavorless and lacking seasoning.. uh... I disagree! Either they went on a bad day or I went on a great day! Right now I'm going to claim this is my favorite wet burrito.. so flavorful! But I'll try it again in the future and see if it stands by it's flavor. If it doesn't.. I'll update ;) Did I mention how HUGE this is?? 2 people have been eating it and it's 75% gone lol

If it weren't for the very loud music playing, I would not have known this was a Mexican restaurant. We ordered Fish and Shrimp Ceviche tostadas, but it was ok not the best I ever had. Tostadas had more Cucumbers and Tomatoes than Fish or Shrimp, and to make it worse, it was soaked in some kind of unidentifiable watery juice which made the hard Tostada soggy. What prompts M E Perihuete to soak a hard Tostada shell with water? unbelievable! The Chilaquiles were bad. They were so spicy I could not taste my food. Overall, the service was bad the lady who served us was busy laughing and giggling with the male customers instead of attending to her tables. I have to say the obvious about the waitresses here, to be as nice as I can put it, their lips stand out as plungers, the chest, and behind well, so obvious they were not normal... The service was bad and the food was not the best. Pricey. Plenty of parking.

Place was nearly empty, we still went completely unattended for long stretches of time, orders were all wrong, and the waitress instead of fixing it was argumentative & completely wrong. For example, when I noticed my order was wrong, I told her and she immediately contradicted me to the point that I had to move the meat aside to prove to her that there were no beans on my order when there should've been. Instead of then fixing and apologizing she blamed the chef. When my spouse pointed out what was wrong about her order, she asked us what she wanted her to do with it? Maybe take it back and fix it? It was almost like she was blaming us and expecting us to just take what they brought us even if it was wrong. NOBODY IS TRYING TO PAY FOR THE PLEASURE TO FIGHT WITH THEIR INCORRECT WAITRESS. If you are going to be arguing with your paying clients, the least you could do is be right. They still tried to bill me for incorrect food returned and uneaten. Owner started brining up her video, but failed to address the countless problems and issues that were all over that "video". Eventually the food that was wrong and that was returned uneaten was refunded but it pales in comparison what the afternoon cost me. Please consider going elsewhere and their health code is a C which I did not know.
