    "Double" Chicken Tostada
    Chris S.

    Where do I start? The portion of the tostada was disappointing. The amount of chicken provided as a double was surprising to say the least. The expectation was to have more chicken I guess double must mean double in size not portion as the chicken was cut into large cubes. Besides the food disappointment the restaurant itself was filthy. Trash around the dining room area. Leakage coming from the trash can into the entryway. No pride whatsoever in the appearance inside. I gave two stars because the flavor was very good but that is the only thing to save from being a 1-star review. Overall spending over $30 for a tostada, burrito and two drinks only to be eating in an unkept establishment won't have me going back again.

    went through the drive through, Noelia took my order "order whenever you're ready" I look at the menu, "Hi, can I get" -get cut off by Noelia "give me one second" I order, go to window pay, get a 3/4 of my drink. I go back around to let them know and they hit me with " we are out of coke" " I ask what kind of drinks they're are " she says " we have coke products" I ask for a chile serrano, she says they're out of Serranos. I get home (3min away) and my tortillas are COLD! never again!!! so disappointed customer service is horrible !

    2 piece leg and thigh with rice and beans

    The hours got changed recently. Didn't realize until I looked it up. But as always the food is so good, got a 2 piece leg and thigh with beans and rice. The chicken was spot on, fresh off the grill. Shout out to the employees for having quality food.

    this was the chicken in our double chicken tostada
    Diana N.

    One star seems to good. So frustrating. When you get food for an 89 year young mother, and it is one of the few things left to really appreciate, what happened the other day, was just awful. We started going to the Mooney Blvd, Pollo Loco, in visalia, due to ads. Normally we share a double chicken tostada salad. There have been several times, that I was not given my points on my app, and when I shared with the manager, she said sorry, nothing she could do. Then on another occasion, I was told, the site was being updated, to bad, again, nothing they could do. So we started eating there less, and a day ago, was the worst. I drove through, and at the speaker, I asked how many calories in a certain new taco they had and was told, we dont know, sorry. Like , it didnt occur to them if calorie counting that if they didnt know something , they should find out. Then I ordered my usual double chicken tostada, and two small carbon tacos. I asked for ranch, and extra hot sauce and a few mild. I get home and there is the wrong salad, with the wrong dressing, and no extra sauces. So I call and drive all the way back. Heading into the store, I stand at the counter and the lady does not help me until i move, to the other side of the counter. First I am asked if I know the difference between the tostada, etc, and i say, yeah, I have ordered them numerous times. Then? I mention that with driving all the way home and back, the tacos are now cold, could i please have those replaced. The woman helping me acted like I didn't ask. So she took the wrong salad out of my hand and threw the other one in. I had to ask for the ranch again, and left with what i thought was the right salad, and two cold tacos, and quite the attitude. Next? I get home, cut the salad in half, and discover, that the chicken is literally charcoal. I guess we were punished and mother couldn't eat her half. I guess it was to complicated to simply fill an order. We will not be visiting this one every again, and its so sad. Corporate should check in on it, like secret shopper. I saw the other reviews and most for this place are pretty bad.

    I ordered two tacos today. When the cashier asked the girl who made my tacos if they had no salsa like I had requested, the employee told the other employee no and laughed. Then continued to give me the tacos anyways even tho they both knew they were made incorrectly. So rude! I was in the drive thru so I had to go inside and have them remade. When I told the manager she didn't seem to care. I'm allergic to tomatoes so if I would have ate them I could have sued them. Be better, do better el polo loco! And this is the taco... one tiny slice of avocado but they're called "avocado tacos"!

    Big rubbery piece of chicken skin
    Gina A.

    The new restaurant on Rigging is where I went to and I got a classic burrito combo and I ordered it with breast meat and no rice. It was pretty good until the last couple of bites I bit into a rubbery big piece of skin no chicken attached I don't eat the skin so it grossed me out a bit but when I tried to give it to my dog who was sharing my burrito with took a sniff and walked away I hope that I don't get sick because now I'm wondering what else was in my burrito and for the record I will not be going to that restaurant again

    Food is mediocre, not like it was when El Pollo Loco first started. Service is even worse; I had to ask for a lid, napkins, and salsa.

    Food was great. Nice and lacey thin smashie…read more Fries were good too. Overall would eat here a hundred more times.

    We can honestly say after several visits here; it's consistent, it's good quality and it's worth…read morethe price! The burgers and the shakes are the absolute best! The fries to me are just "ok" and the onion rings are good. The waffle fries are the way to go for a side and ask for them "Extra Crispy". So glad to have a smashburger spot in Visalia and they're awesome! It's a simple dressed burger and it's all it needs. It's the best of what you can get in each bite. Add jalapeños or bacon and you've just elevated an already incredible burger. Get those waffle fries I mentioned and a delicious shake and you're set. The milkshakes are thick and creamy with real ice cream flavor. The Biscoff was by far our favorite, but strawberry definitely tied for me. Making it a regular thing to come here on our days off now! It's nice that they're on DoorDash so I can get it delivered when I'm craving a delicious smashburger. If you haven't been here yet, absolutely a must try when you're craving a great combo. You can pay the same at other chains and you're not getting even close to the quality and flavor this spot has given! Multiple times! It's consistent y'all and it's delicious!
