    Wrong order !!!!
    Susan R.

    I don't why I even bother coming here !!! I haven't been in months because they can never get my order right !!! Oh course I stop by today and guess what ?!?! My order was wrong !!! Had to throw away food and money because someone can't understand my order !!! I have spoken to manager and sent email to corporate but I guess no one cares !!! Ask for a meal with no beans and I get home and all it has is beans !!!

    Their was a piece of plastic in my mothers rice. I don't know how it ended up in there but pollo loco should be more cautious.

    How could pollo loco improve? Maybe keep plastic out of the food. My mother took a bite out of her rice and immediately spit it out. This is absolutely ridiculous. What would happened if she swallowed this? Pollo loco do better.

    It's time to Pollo-ver to the side of the road and write a review. This is a very popular chain in California that has been around forever. I used to eat this food a lot when I lived in Los Angeles because these restaurants were cheap and filling. It's not the healthiest stuff but it's not as bad as some fast food is. So you could say I'm a fan. Then again I'm not that much of a fan that I would rush out of my way to eat this in Houston, but I'm happy that it's now Houston and that's definitely a cool thing. This one is down in Pearland, and is fairly popular but not the busiest location. The food is pretty good and the employees aren't too bad. It definitely still tastes like chain food though, that's for sure.

    I had a speedy drive thru since it wasn't too busy at around 2pm. I got the 2 piece chicken meal with sides of rice and mashed potatoes which also came with the avocado sauce and warm 2 tortillas. The chicken was very juicy and had plenty of flavor. The rice was delicate and the mashed potatoes was delicious.

    Food was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. Hard to eat and tasted like artificial chemicals. The beans and rice were tasteless and the burrito was VERY HARD TO EAT as it was TERRIBLE. The chips were STALE. NOT GOING BACK.

    Fast Food Vegan Options FTW! We found out that this fast food chain now offers a Plant Based option! You know we have to jump in on that! No complaints at all! We had the Street Taco & Burrito! Yummm!! Def would be back! -Drive Thru was only available -We ordered through the app, very easy & convenient. Free Chips & Guac bc of that! Yay! Thank you Pollo Loco for having vegan options

    They do have a good variety but I ended up getting a salad and the cashier recommended I get the avocado sauce.

    I came to the Freddy's location on Pearland Parkway with my daughter after her soccer game to get…read morecustard, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The employee at the register, who I believe was named Jayden, I'm unsure but he was a black male in his younger years with red colored hair, he had a clear attitude while taking our order and acted like we were inconveniencing him. He even mumbled inappropriate language under his breath, and when I politely asked him to watch his language in front of children, he rolled his eyes. I chose not to make a scene for my daughter's sake and finished ordering. However, things got worse when she came back from the restroom and told me the same employee was nearby blowing clouds from his mouth, which was concerning in a restaurant setting. Overall, between the unprofessional behavior, inappropriate language, and the food not being up to par, while the restaurant was clean, the prices seem to be high and the experience was very poor. I'm very unlikely to return to this location.

Now that I live in Texas, I don't eat there very often, not because the quality, but simply because there are so many other great burger options. That said, Freddy's still ranks highly for me. Although there are quite a few Freddy's locations, there aren't many conveniently located near me, so it's not a place I frequent unless I go out of my way. What keeps me coming back is the good steakburgers and frozen custard. You place your order at the counter, and this location maintains the classic Freddy's look and feel, which adds to the nostalgic experience. I also enjoy taking people to try it for the first time. I love hearing their opinions and introducing them to one of my longtime favorites. The small fries are very good, but if you're like me, it can be a bit annoying having to grab a bunch at once just to get a decent bite. If you've never been, I recommend stopping by--you likely won't be disappointed. However, if you live in an area with a lot of Freddy's locations, you may find other nearby options that are just as good or better.

There are sanrio stuffed animals placed around and there are so many claw machines. For the claw machines you get two free tokens with every meal and we've actually won a time or two! Our waitress/cashier was an angle this visit. She kept giving us tokens and she said that us having a good time was so much more important than the cost. I genuinely feel like i should write this review because i don't want my favorite spot to be over populated, it's that good. The dinning area, the claw machine area, and even the bathroom all have to same beautiful feel. I couldn't recommend this place more, there is absolutely zero to complain about. The service is wonderful, the staff is amazing, and the portions are huge and cheap. This is my favorite place to eat in Pearland hands down.

Since we were in the area that day, we made a point to stop at this Wrap & Roll location to make sure it was not a fluke. And by golly, it was exactly what we hoped for! First, the portion sizes are huge as each noodle dish can feed 2-3 people. So unless you brought your appetite, you'll be needing a togo container. Main reason it's so large is because it's packed with protein. Second, the menu has a variety of items ranging from tacos/quesadillas to sandwiches, to noodles/rice, to chicken wings; so there's something for everyone here. And third, the flavors/taste of the eats. The combination fried udon is packed with shrimp/chicken/filet and all the meats are tender along with the noodles and veggies with this sweet/sour/spicy flavor that will knock out your taste buds. From what I read, all the noodle/rice dishes are similar to this. I also saw someone get the quesadilla which was huge and they immediately went silent when eating it cause they couldn't stop stuffing it in their mouth. There's no doubt I plan to return and I hope they expand closer to our neck of the woods in the Heights area. That's a wrap cause they're on a roll!
