Unsweet iced tea out
Ron W.

Only a 2 star rating even though my order was accurate and served in a timely manner. The reasons : my first 2 drink choices were out , the unsweetened iced tea, and the Coke zero ! Also the restroom was clean, but sadly out of seat covers :/

Parking lot, should have got both sides to show how crowded and tight it can get.

This El Pollo Loco is very busy, which is good for them, although this location is very busy, the staff is great and keeps it moving and service is quick and friendly. The location is in the heart of Sherman Oaks, and although on Sepulveda, kind of a weird spot. But easy to get to either way. Their parking lot is shared and very tight though, street parking is also tough in the area, so be patient. Really my only critic. Inside is your typical El Pollo loco, from the decor to seating and overall set up. They no longer have a salsa bar (same for all locations) but will give you as much salsa you like, pico de gallo, avocado green salsa or their spicier option. I like all 3 and can't choose a favorite. As I have said in many of my last reviews on other locations, I recommend using the app to speed up the process of getting your order. Order ahead and pick up to dine in or take it to go. Their digital deals they have on the app are pretty good. Still been getting the 3 tacos, chips and salsa and a drink for $5.99, pretty decent deal for a solid lunch. Enjoy!

I got the order to go. I got the chicken nachos and a chicken burrito. It is very difficult parking to get but it's worth the wait places is very clean and the people here I gotta say is one of the best Pollo Locos that ever been to.

The worst El pollo loco I've ever been to. My quesadilla was soggy upon ordering, just sitting in juice on the tray. The few bites I was able to take had BONES in it. I bit in the first time and cracked my crown!!! I ordered shredded chicken quesadilla, why multiple BONES??? Please don't eat here! Gonna cost me $$$ for dental work now.

This place has become my new staple place to order. They are located close to my house and their service has been stellar so far. I've ordered delivery a couple times already and their delivery is always earlier than anticipated. The food is solid, especially when you get the family pack. We usually get the 20 piece family pack with large mashed potatoes, large cole slaw (my mom's favorite), 4 corn tortillas, & 4 flour tortillas. We also usually get the chips & salsa with avocado. Their chicken bowls are really delicious as well. How can you order without their 6 pack tacos with avocado? Got to have them all. Best part is the delivery option. I am grateful for their service and their great food.

Awful, dried out chicken! Don't go here Disgusting food. The wings I threw out.. Piece Family Pack 8.

Gross beef in the quesadilla.

Just disgusting. I got the new beef quesadilla and the half the beef inside was gelatinous and inedible. There was hardly any cheese and it was soupy inside. And the chips were stale. Wasn't cheap either $15 for the meal. This please needs to close down.

Always a good experience here. They're very careful about the chosen spice level, too.

I love the chicken sandwich and the fries are good and their kluckin' sauce is very good, too. Best of all, they're open late and so if you're hungry after midnight, this is the place to go. Lots of easy parking if you're doing pickup or having your food there. And there you have it. Oh, and if you're wondering, preferable to Dave's Hot Chicken.

I don't even know where to start because this place genuinely impressed me…read more First off, the customer service was AMAZING. Like, the kind of service where you actually feel welcomed and not rushed or awkward for asking questions. The staff was super patient and took the time to really explain the menu and walk me through all the different spice levels, which I appreciated so much. I had questions about the menu and especially about the spice levels, and instead of rushing me or giving short answers, they took the time to fully explain everything. They broke down what each heat level feels like, how intense it is, and even gave honest recommendations depending on spice tolerance. You could tell they actually care about making sure customers enjoy their food, not just pushing orders out. I ended up ordering the Kluckin Tenders and decided to go all in by trying every spice level they offer: No Heat, Kluckin Mild, Kluckin Hot, and Kluckin Fire. Starting with No Heat, i tried the og tender to see how it was alone without any spice because I'm quite the chicken tender connoisseur haha. I was honestly surprised by how flavorful it still was. The tenders were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned really well. Even without spice, nothing tasted bland or boring, which says a lot about the quality of the chicken and seasoning. Kluckin Mild was a nice step up. It had some heat, enough to let you know it's there without being overpowering. This felt like a perfect everyday option -- flavorful, balanced, and very easy to enjoy. Kluckin Hot is where the heat really starts to kick in. It definitely made me slow down, but I loved that the flavor was still there. It wasn't just spicy for the sake of being spicy. You could still taste the seasoning and the chicken, which is something a lot of places get wrong. And then there's Kluckin Fire. This one is no joke. It looks like it would absolutely obliterate my taste buds. It definitely looks scarier than it is! The heat builds fast and lingers, and the staff definitely wasn't exaggerating when they warned me about it! That being said, it's still well made. This flavor actually ended up being my favorite! If you're someone who actually enjoys serious spice, you'll appreciate this level. It's intense, but it feels intentional. I also have to talk about the sides! The coleslaw was actually really good. Fresh, super crunchy, and well balanced. Not overly mayo-heavy or soggy like a lot of places do it. It had just the right amount of creaminess that helped cool things down between bites, especially when working my way through the hotter spice levels. It paired perfectly with the tenders and was honestly a lifesaver once I got to Kluckin Hot and Kluckin Fire. The crinkle cut fries were another highlight. Super crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. The crinkle cut shape made them extra satisfying, and they held up really well even as I took my time eating. They weren't greasy or limp at all! Which is always a plus. Dipping them in their kluckin sauce was so addictive. (Absolutely must have this with your meal here) Seriously, can we please bottle this sauce?! Overall, this place just does everything right. Great food, real spice options, and customer service that makes you want to come back. It's rare to find a spot where the staff is both knowledgeable and genuinely kind, and it makes a huge difference. If you're a hot chicken fan or someone who likes exploring different spice levels, this place is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back and already recommending it to friends. Thanks so much for having me!!

Love it when I stumble into absolute goodness I've been to a fried chicken joint a time or two. Even found a few diamonds among broken glass. This joint however, they got it right Nestled in what looks like an industrial zone and a kin to dive a bar and an AA meeting place, is Humble Bird. A straight basic fried chicken joint that serves out Memphis hot sandos that are juicy, warm, and oh, so good. Definitely in my top five. Definitely. I did medium heat, which really wasn't warm to me, but it was flavorful and you could actually taste the floral of peppercorn. The pickles were crunchy and the slaw had something secret. I'm thinking it was reddish added, but I'm not sure. Either way it was great and went perfect on the sandwich . I also got a side of their spiced up fries and, though I'm not a big fries guy, these are spot on. The chef that came up with this mix of spices and herbs, nailed it. It's definitely not close to me, but I would definitely find a way to return. Probably try the cheese melt chicken sando next Whomever lives near here or if YOU happen to in the area, try it. I think you'll be satisfied. (Note: the sando id much bigger live) Enjoy

It gives you options for crispy, spicy crispy, mixed, and grilled. I clearly checked crispy. What arrived? Spicy crispy. How did I know? Because one bite and I, who don't do spicy, had my mouth lit on fire. Now, this was a late-night order, but so what? If the people there cannot see a clearly marked crispy, not spicy crispy, not mixed, and not grilled, then they should try to look more carefully. I had to toss the food and get a refund from DoorDash. Out of fairness, I will give it another try, although the bad reviews here leave me worried, and I'm happy to amend this too spicy review. This should have been a crispy review and it would have been had it not been spicy. Get my drift?
