I go often to El Pollo Loco's for a quick lunch, I like using their app to find deals and get my…read morefood quickly without waiting. I typically get chicken al carbon tacos, great deal and on corn tortillas a fairly healthier option vs typical fast food. This is the first El Pollo Loco I have been to that has no inside seating, there is only a drive thru or patio dining and bathrooms are outside in the back of this location. It seemed newer and it was clean and maintained well, the bathrooms were also very clean, which for being outside was a bit of a nice surprise. Although the concept is nice and I had no issues, I would prefer the option to dine inside or outside, so I am dropping the rating a bit here. The servers were OK, not too friendly, but then again I just grabbed my food and asked for one refill, could have been an off day. Either way, not a bad location, food is always quick and good and a good option when traveling in the area, I always recommend El Pollo Loco. Just know you will be outside only if that is a deal breaker for you by chance. Enjoy!

I just adore the chicken asado at El Pollo Loco I've been…read moregoing through the El Pollo Loco drive-through in Sherman Oaks since very many years and I usually order a three piece meal sometimes combo with three tighs and two sides They usually make my chicken grilled to perfection the way I love it which is juicy also, I take two sides normally a double salad With corn tortillas I also have tried their chicken burrito with avocado: super good as well Honestly, for the money, it's a excellent place to go to when you're in a hurry and you wanna eat something delicious

Had the chance to recently visit Dave's Hot Chicken in Santa Maria. I'd been to the San Luis Obispo…read morelocation previously but didn't get in a review...so here are some thoughts. Both restaurants were clean in appearance and prompt in their ordering counter customer service. Suggestions were made by Jolene (Cashier/Associate) regarding "the heat" levels one could select...and if you haven't been before, the edification should be welcomed. I ordered 2 Single Sliders (one "not hot" and one "medium"...both without pickles). Total for 2 Sliders w/tax $15.20. Okay so, the Sliders were yummy (5/5) but even though the Chicken hung over the bread/bun...they seemed to be on the smaller side. I don't know why (except I've order plenty of Chicken Sandwiches from other local eateries) but the Sliders weren't as satiating as a "meal" on their own. Perhaps I was expecting too much...after all, they are clearly labeled as "sliders" (not sandwiches) on the menu boards. With the tab being over $15 dollars, I also felt the Slider(s) a bit lacking in the "value" factor. No cutting it in half for a second meal...oh well. I'm not complaining though about the Sliders taste, they (at least my Medium) was delicious. So...will I revisit Dave's Hot Chicken, probably...I'll just order a Dave's #1,2,3 or 4 (Slider/Tenders with sides) instead. On this occasion, in this Yelper's opinion Dave's Hot Chicken in Santa Maria truly earned (cleanliness, customer service and quality of food) a definite "recommend" 4 Star review.

If you've read any of my reviews to would know that I'm a sucker for hand-dipped chicken strips. I…read morehave literally been all over the country searching for the best hand-dipped strips. I downgrade restaurants that switch to frozen. With all of that said, the best hand-dipped chicken strips in the country at the moment are in SLO, CA at Jay Bird's Chicken. The young men working the counter were quick and seemed to enjoy their job. The cook in the back smiled as she carried out a tray of fresh chicken before she got to breading it. The setting in a small group of restaurants meant everyone was able to choose what they wanted - even if it wasn't chicken strips (everyone went with the strips!). It was a welcome break from seafood at Pismo. We'll be back if we're ever back through SLO.

I tried the regular chicken sandwich here and was blown away by the presentation and size of it! I…read morehonestly don't care for coleslaw, but took a chance and decided to keep it on my sandwich. So glad I did! It adds texture, crunch and neutralizes the hints of spice from the battered fried chicken. Speaking of the battered fried chicken. It was perfectly golden and seasoned. Not too salty or spicy, but just enough to make my tongue tingle. In a good way of course. I couldn't finish my sandwich because it was huge! Not complaining, but it doesn't take me much to get full either. Perfect size for those with bigger appetites. The crinkle fries were good, but overcooked, dry and cold. Wish they would have been warmer because I love crinkle fries. I also ordered the Arnold Palmer, which unfortunately was way too sweet for me. Aside from those two consthe chicken sandwich was the winner here and I would totally come back for it.

The two meals came with so much fries that we eventually threw most of them away. It would be nice if Nate's could sell their sandwiches without fries. Nate's was a good choice for us to stop at.
