    1.20.24: This evening I was craving a tostada salad and hit the drive-thru before the dinner rush. I ordered the double chicken tostada salad and it was pretty fresh and hot. The tostada shell was light and airy and not thick or hard, where sometimes it stabs your mouth or gums lol. The chicken had a good grill on it and it was still tender. The greens were crisp and visually fresh. The beans and rice were proportionate to the amount of greens given as well. Oh and hiding under the chicken and pico, there were 3 big slices of an avocado! My favorite is to get the avocado salsa as my dressing because it gives it that good kind of kick that's not overly spicy. Service was prompt and they spoke clearly, which is always a plus going through the drive-thru.

    El Pollo Loco has remained a consistently good place to visit when you're in the mood for tummy filling Mexican style food. The service has always been friendly & quick. The restaurant has personnel continually cleaning the dining room & counters. In the last 35 years, they have maintained their classic dishes & continue to introduce new family menu items. They offer senior discounts, weekly coupons & serve Coca-Cola products. These are locally owned franchises. Give them a try !!

    During this difficult time, my family very much misses the dining out experience. We find we do not savor the same food the same way as when we were able to dine out. We have wanted to and do support our local businesses. Surprisingly, we find that our most enjoyable take out is El Pollo Loco! We purchased their $25 Family Meal. 12 pieces chicken, 3 sides, tortillas and salsa. Not exactly fine dinning but all tasted delicious, the chicken is always thoroughly cooked and healthy to boot! I also ordered their protein bowl that included chicken, avocado, mixed greens, creamy cilantro dressing, etc. really delicious and I will be going back to reorder especially this protein bowl. Note, watch for the coupons in the Sunday later to receive this dinner for just $20. Will add photos next time, I was overcome with hunger so no photos!

    I love El Pollo Loco mainly for their chicken and healthy options so I was excited to try these Birria tacos which are one of my favorites. The tacos are about the same size as Jack in the box tacos-which are a little small-and they come stuffed with more cilantro and onions than meat. I was disappointed by the quality, mainly because we have so many good Mexican restaurants that serve this dish and do it so well. Also the box with the 2 small tacos, chips and salsa and a small drink comes out to about 12.00 which isn't much less than you can get this dish at a local restaurant. I still love El Pollo Loco-just won't be ordering these again.

    10 Piece mixed family meal
    Bruce S.

    This is definitely our go-to for juicy, flavorful chicken, and, even though it's considered fast food, a healthy option. We usually do the drive up and, during these trying times, it's the best way to go. We got the family mixed 10 piece with rice and black beans. comes complete with your choice of tortillas and salsa, enough for family or certain leftovers for singles or couples. The chicken itself is always delivered hot, juicy and the right combination of spices in their marinade, hard to duplicate at home. The service is friendly and your order is up usually when you hit the drive through window. Server wore mask an gloves, as were the other workers i could see through the window. El Pollo Loco has been in the dinner rotation for years and always delivers a consistent product at a reasonable price.

    Always a decent place to grab a bite to eat. I've never been disappointed by this brand or disrespected by any employees here. There menu is pretty simple, and the prices reflect the cost of living which may always be a pleasant surprise to people passing thru and perhaps even incentive to one day take up residence in this ever growing city. My gf loves the Ceaser bowl here (not on the menu, you have to ask for it) she gets it without the rice. So my appreciation goes out to this place and my heartfelt thanks goes out to the employees in this restaurant for being essential. Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing you again soon.

Los Gallos covered those two needs perfectly. Located on the main ave across from Circus Circus. Kinda cool pawn shops too but didn't have time to check them out. Walking in, it def has the authentic dinginess that is usually synonymous with authentic tasting food. Lots of handmade signs and pictures of food on the walls. And also lots of pictures from their hometown. It was a Monday afternoon and there were many local Mexican families eating there which is another great sign. Ordering was pretty easy. After doing me best To order in Spanish I realized the lady working there spoke perfect English. Haha. I ordered a shrimp burrito with everything and 3 street tacos all to go. It took a long time for the food to come out. There was a large party order that they were getting ready so I waited a long time. It was so long that I expected them to offer me a free coffee or soda but they didn't. The food finally came and it was a solid 4. The shrimp burrito was tasty and the shrimp was cooked really well. The tacos were good too. I'll def be back next time I'm in Reno.

The tortillas and chips were so good! I'm so bummed that I live out of town otherwise I would come regularly. We came on a Sunday, it was busy- so we needed to wait for a table, only took about 5 to 10 minutes or so to be seated. The service was prompt once we were sat, the staff have really good teamwork. They have a parking lot so it wasn't difficult to find parking and the interior was spacious and clean considering how busy it was. My man ordered an asada burrito and I got the birria combo. I tried a bite of his burrito and I liked that it wasn't extremely salty like a lot of places we've been to. My birria was extremely flavorful, the rice was perfectly fluffy and the beans were on point- I don't usually finish my beans because I'm not a huge fan, but I finished these beans, that's how good they were. They also gave us complementary chips and salsa. The chips were nice, thick and fresh and the salsa wasn't too spicy so everyone is able to enjoy it. 10/10 on the food! We will definitely be back next time we're in town, hopefully it'll be just as good next time.

    Given that we are from Jalisco we wanted to try out this location and let me tell you…read more... From the first bite, it's clear this place takes tortas ahogadas seriously. The bread arrives with that perfect crusty exterior and airy interior that holds up beautifully once it's "drowned" in the vibrant, slightly spicy tomato-chile sauce. The pork inside is tender and flavorful, and the balance of acidity, heat, and richness feels fresh rather than heavy. It tastes remarkably close to what you'd find in Jalisco, which makes it feel genuinely authentic rather than a watered-down version for tourists. We also got tacos dorados de papa and those were pretty amazing too. The micheladas and chavelas are just as impressive. They're crisp, well-seasoned, and perfectly chilled, with just the right amount of lime, spice, and salt on the rim. They pair incredibly well with the tortas and make the whole meal feel even more special. On top of the food and drinks, the service really elevates the experience. The staff is attentive, friendly, and clearly proud of what they serve, checking in just enough without hovering. Overall, it's a spot that delivers on flavor, authenticity, and hospitality, making it a standout choice for anyone craving great Mexican comfort food. Will definitely be coming back.

Positively delicious. The sauce might be thin but I ended up using a spoon to slurp up every last bit of sauce after the Rellano was finished. So I was NOT at all disappointed in the Rellano. In fact, because I was still hungry I had room for their homemade Flan. I asked for extra sauce if possible. I was very pleased. There are many varieties of flan. I personally prefer a more textured variety that I refer to as Rustic. I would call this variety a very traditional SMOOTH variety. The flavor is wonderful. It was delicious. And NOW I am full and satisfied. This restaurant is at the end of the shopping center. Parking is great. If you find this review helpful please VOTE!
