    Que ironía, un burrito del Pollo Loco sin pollo ‍

    es mejor que eviten visitar este lugar, no les pusieron pollo a mis burritos. fui por unos burritos un día en la noche como a las 9:45 pm, y al llegar a mi casa y comer notamos que no tenían pollo, regresé a los dos días y pedí hablar con el encargado para comentarle lo que pasó, el encargado de nombre raudel g. se molestó y me pidió que a la otra regresé ese día o llame por teléfono, creo que no debe haber ninguna otra vez, con los que tiene que hablar son los cocineros para que eso no vuelva a pasar. el señor raudel g. no se comportó como un encargado profecional, sin su mal manejo de la situación no me hubieran perdido como cliente. it's best you avoid visiting this place. they didn't put any chicken in my burritos. i went to get some burritos one night around 9:45 pm, and when i got home and ate, we noticed they didn't have any chicken. i returned two days later and asked to speak to the manager to tell him what had happened. the manager, named raudel g., got upset and asked me to come back that day or call him. i don't think there should be another time. the ones you should be talking to are the cooks so this doesn't happen again. mr. raudel g. did not behave like a professional manager, without his poor handling of the situation they would not have lost me as a client.

    Burnt and dry chicken

    One can generally rely on any pollo loco to be consistent and fresh but not tonight ,we bought a 8 piece family meal , it looks like they gave us a previously cooked chicken and tried to re grill it , we open the container to find a dry burnt chi

    After having a bad experience at the Pollo Loco in Montebello, my family and I decided to try the Pollo Loco here in Rosemead. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was good. I really recommend this location. I live in Montebello and the drive was worth it. I had a good meal with my family.

    Dry chicken

    I want to update my review. It is only fair to do so as I was contacted by the Manager of El Pollo Loco. Which was unexpected. I find that very professional and excellent as a customer service quality. The manager and I talked about the dispute I had with his Assistant Manager. He re-assured me that they do not serve recooked chicken. Which was one of my concerns. He also stated that he will make sure that the quality of the chicken is excellent. I did failed to mention that the assistant manager did offer to replace my meal when we had the dispute. The Manager was very understanding and helpful. He did offer a meal replacement or to give me my money back. He was very pleasant to talk to and he apologized for my several bad experiences in the past. The customer service he provided today was excellent. As for the Assistant Manager Maria when we had the dispute she was professional about it as well. So far I am very pleased with the customer service I have received after my review was taken into consideration. For their customer service they do receive a 5 stars from me. As for the chicken I do not know when I will buy chicken from here again. It was nice of the Manager to tell me to call him if I want to buy chicken from there again.

    Small burrito. It's just a little bigger than my fingers Their pollo bowl didn't have pollo just enough to taste the chicken. Our order was all bad. Take a look at the so call burrito. It's so small. WTH pollo loco get together.

    Can't ever go wrong with the chicken tostada, especially at this location the service is always amazing and fast. I've been here in the afternoon, and evening with different staff but This is one of the best Pollo Loco I've been to and the store is always clean because of how they work and the management that takes care of this place, they also added a new color which is pretty cool and the app is always great for some deals. Check them out for sure.

    I finally made the drive to Downey to try this chicken spot I have been eyeing for monthsssss!…read moreTheir parking lot is located in the back of the restaurant as street parking appears to be limited. They As we are a primarily chicken household, I brought my family with me to try their chicken plates and creative chicken plates. My first initial thought walking into Chicken Koop is that it has calm party vibe... the reason I say this is because through our whole time in the restaurant, they were playing a lot of my favorite songs. For a second, I thought my phone had connected to their speakers, lol! Pictured below is the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate. The Friend Chicken Sandwich was so juicy and flavorful; the breaded chicken patty had a perfect crunch to it. The 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate was also another delicious and great choice. The chicken was cooked perfectly- again no dry chicken and it was juicy w a crunchy outer skin. The Brussels sprouts can out perfectly as well.

    We picked this place as a last-minute dinner option since none of us had tried it before, and we…read morethought it would be worth a shot. We ordered takeout and were pleasantly surprised they still accepted our order only 30 minutes before closing. I had the mushroom wrap because it seemed like a healthier option. The vegetables inside were cooked well and nicely seasoned, but the wrap itself was a little dry. It came with a salad, which was a nice addition. I'd still return for the wrap. The garlic fries were really good, and the nachos were nice and saucy. The rice that came with the dinner plate, however, was overcooked and mushy. Overall, a decent experience with a few standout items.

So apparently this isn't one of the ones from the chain which I don't understand because it's still same menu Pretty much everything we wanted was 30 mins. The only thing was the Rotisserie chicken so we got half. I asked for tabouleh and he said there is no tabouleh and we're out. Mind you that was 5 pm. It wasn't even late. Then after I ordered, I went back to order more for my sister and I saw tabouleh on display which was there initially but I didn't pay attention. So when I was paying I asked the guy and he said oh I didn't know. Back told me we don't have any. Anyways it didn't taste good and the parsley was not cut properly. My husband and I shared the chicken and a plate Order of falafel. That took 30 mins because of falafel. Really though frying falafel shouldn't take that long! My sister loves their chicken and she didn't even eat it. Forgot to mention when I went to get the chicken, they didn't have anymore then he said this the last one. I'm just confused on how there is nothing left when they have another 4-5 hours! I got an extra tabouleh which she didn't eat either Management need to be better and food shouldn't be taking 30+ mins! This is a fast food place

It seems like its a family restaurant, which the cashier was very kind and welcoming to us! We were also the only ones in the store. They don't really offer free water here, but luckily she was able to provide water bottles for us! We ordered the half crispy and half soy garlic flavored chicken. The soy garlic was actually very nice! I did enjoy that the most. The skin was also very crispy and crunchy, the chicken itself was very juicy. The chicken here feels like it's on the smaller end, but everything was still pretty good. I wouldn't say it's authentic Korean fried chicken, I feel like they're just missing the mark of the Korean flavors, but it does taste more like Korean inspired lol. I also wish the radishes weren't small cubes and wish they were bigger cubes. We also got calamari as well, this one was also pretty nice to have. Overall, the chicken here was still pretty good! We were well taken care of as this was our first time visiting. Tables were clean as well. Not too much seating, but it doesn't seem that popular either. One of the local places to support!

However, I went for a second time yesterday and was deeply disappointed. The owner wasn't there and instead a younger girl took my order and prepared the food. Everything seemed well and fine until I got home, opened my patty melt and found not 1 but 2 long hairs in my sandwich! They were clearly her hairs since she was the only one who handled my food. I went back and returned everything. I didn't see a hair in my other sandwich but couldn't even eat it without thinking what could be in each bite. The same girl was there when I returned and a young guy. I spoke with the guy and he gave me a refund right away and apologized. The girl who had made my food was maybe 5 feet away and couldn't even turn around to look at me or apologize. Very disappointing since the owner seemed like a nice guy who probably works extremely hard to build and maintain his business, only to have it ruined by some employee who couldn't even care enough to take 5 sec to put on a hair net. Shame on her.
