Amazing experience from start to finish! The drive-thru service was fast, smooth, and handled with genuine kindness. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made a big difference in my day. You can tell they truly care about their customers. The pricing was very reasonable, and I really appreciated the coupon for my guacamole burrito--great value and even better taste! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. May God continue to shine His light on such friendly faces and kind hearts. Thank you for the excellent service--I'll definitely be coming back! read more

El Pollo Loco - 3 piece chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Paramount, California

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. read more

El Pollo Loco - Chicken, tostada salad - Fast Food Near Me - Paramount, California

FIRST TIME AT THIS LOCATION AND WHEN I GOT HERE, I couldn't decide what I wanted to order yet so the lady at the speaker responded politely and seemed to have great customer service. I told her when I went to get my order that she seems to enjoy her job. DEFINITELY COMING BACK HERE! I wish more people had better customer service! read more

I work nearby, and I have been eating at this restaurant for 20 years about once per week. The food is great, and the staff has generally been very friendly. They serve quickly, and it's rare they make a mistake with my order. I am always able to find parking and a table. My only recommendation is to clean the tables more frequently. Often, several of the tables have crumbs on them. read more

I got food poisoning from eating this last night! Please be aware. Its not the first time it happened

I went by at 10:20 pm just like someone else had posted and it was closed. The store hours should be updated. Your responses to all the reviews about this problem is just "we're sorry we'll fix it" and yet the same problem happening a year later smd read more

The staff there are extremely rude. They have no customer service at all no smile no nothing and when you ask them a question they get bothered. Especially Mayle she was the one that was at the drive thru today. read more

Good and tasty fresh all the time especially the spicy one. Good services quality customer services I loved

Great customer service Nd good personal Food was good well cooked and served Perfect for nice lunch with the fam read more

Food is always on point. Thank you for that shout-out to the cooks and to the ones who prep and pack. I appreciate it. Location is always busy so be patient. read more

Bathroom is nasty shit everywhere they never clean it no soap nor anything kinda worried about food

The employees always close early. They close at 11 but its 1015 and theyre in there cleaning up and just looked at me when I came to the window. Please change the hours if you're not going abide by the hours listed. This isnt the first time this has happened. read more

This location is so inconsistent with their hours and customer service. I've ordered for pick up twice and both times have ran into an issue with them. Their hours posted say they close at 11pm, Uber eats show 9:30pm, showed up at 9:05 when it said order was ready for pick up and they were closed and just shook their head saying no. read more

Visited a different Pollo Loco, and it was a much better experience this time. The service was good, and the parking was solid with a nice shady area to park up The staff was friendly and made sure I had everything I needed and were generous. The only complain was that they were a bit stingy with the chicken, but much more better compared to my last visit read more

I strongly do not recommend this El Pollo Loco. Unfriendly workers for the exception of one lone Hispanic guy who I use to enjoy seeing as this place is close by my work but the cooks at this place are unsanitary and don't practice proper health guidelines for handing food. I ordered a chicken bowl and found fucking coarse dark hairs in it. From a employee of a rat? Who knows but I was throughly disgusted and find myself wasting my lunch break going somewhere else after getting my money back. Wish there was a way of guaranteeing my food would come hairless but needless to say I'm not ever coming back to this location Update 2/1/2021: Per Jessica Bs (El Pollo Loco Business Manger) recommendation my experience was shared to the company website and no email or phone response. This place is open on weekends so when a something goes unanswered, you usually have your answer. I strongly advise anyone reading this to NOT eat here. Places like these are franchised and do not follow standards. I'd hate anyone to experience having hairs in there food like I did seeing as corporate or a manager from that location will not do anything about it or assure it's customers they're addressing why there's hair in there food. Eat here at your own risk. read more

El Pollo Loco - Hair in bowl of food - Fast Food Near Me - Paramount, California

On my way home and decided to stop by to get something to eat. Got there at 10:20pm before the closing time which said on the website 11:00pm. Got to the drive through waited for someone to attend me no one did drove up to the window asked one of the workers if they are open and was told they are closed and that they close at 10:00. You guys need to update your hours. read more

Every time I order the original pollo bowl I never get chunks of chicken! I get chicken bits! It's ridiculous! Same when you order the double chicken tostada! They also do not have curbside pick up anymore but still advertise it. read more

Their competence and lack of understanding of english is horrible. I will never go here again. Management sucks, because they do not understand! I'm not a racist, but if I keep telling you the problem and your only answer is your lack of understanding English, is your problem not MINE! IM DONE. El Pollo loco in Riverside, I know is far, but check out the reviews in Riverside Plaza, the food is amazing and the staff is great. read more

I SHOULD have taken a photo of my SORRY ass meal that was $13.00 , ordered a two piece breast and wing and when I opened up the container looked more like one leg SMH this place use to be really good for chicken now I must say this place is TRASH ! I will not come back here again ! So sad read more

We hurried hoping to find it open at 9:50 and we got there and they did not even attend us to say it was closed they just signaled that they closed. They should update their page to the time they really close. read more

I ordered an 8pc family meal at this location last night. I got home and the chicken was so dry that it had to be on that grill for at least 2 to 3 hours. It was so tough that you couldn't even eat the dayum skin, it was like leather!! You know this place is bad if they dry out chicken thighs. Then, to make matters worse, they take the phone off the hook so you can't complain. They won't get another dayum dime from me!! read more

They said that they close at 11 pm. My current time was 10:21 pm, believing they would still be opened. They were closed. I went through the drive through and everything. If they are going to say they close at 11pm, make that on the dot. read more

I wanted to come on here and voice my disappointment. Calling them after they forgot the tortillas to my large family meal and asking was a waste of time. I placed a $50 family meal order yesterday and once i got home which was roughly 15 minutes away we realized they forgot tortillas. I figured if I called they would comp a salad, or issue a at least $10 voucher for the big inconvenience. Part of the reason for picking up a family meal is the fact that no one wants to cook in this heat. We still ended up in the kitchen making our own tortillas. What the supervisor on the phone offered was extra tortillas on my next meal. I will no longer be visiting this location. I thought I could give them the benefit of the doubt by calling to try and rectify the situation. read more

I have been here many times, and every time I know the drive thru will take long, so yesterday I decided to get off, the wait was worse. I completed my order at 12:17 and walked out of there at 12:37..... Once I realized the group of people I walked in with were gone, I asked the MOD why my food was taking so long, apparently the girl kept pushing my receipt order back:0/ ugggg it's not rocket science, just process the order in which it is received . I hope they improve their efficiency skills!!! Update! I need a manager to call me ASAP! I'm so upset it took 25min for my order in store to come out! You were fully staffed and everyone's order ahead of me were fulfilled!!! I need to speak to someone soon or calling corporate! read more

This is my 2nd time ordering from this location and they keep forgetting to provide my tortilla and salsa. I paid for these and never seem to get it. What sucks is I ordered delivery so my 3rd party delivery guy con only trust they packed everything because the bag is sealed. If you want to lose your money, then I recommend buying from this place. They literally stole my money again! Ugh! read more

I don't know why this place has a bad review but this is my personal favorite location. The drive thru does take long. I don't mind waiting if my food is hot and freshly prepared. read more
