Not the best el pollo loco location due to the fact that the person in drive thru couldn’t figure out my point system when I was hoping to use my rewards for my classic chicken tostada salad. Darn it didn’t work. Also another thing was their chicken was extremely dry for my salad.

This one is gonna hurt. El Apollo Loco has been here since as long as I can remember and I'll be honest, growing up this was the one place that my dad always suggest we go to when we were in a food rut but I hated it cause I was sick of it since he suggested it weekly. That was until I tried the chicken tostada salad then I was hooked. I used to get this salad all the time and then the quality of both the food and the restaurant just went downhill. I gave up going here for years, but recently started to frequent this establishment again but I'm wishing I hadn't. The quality of the ingredients is trash. It's like they don't even try anymore. The salad comes with what looks like odds and ends of stems of lettuce, pieces you don't typical serve. The chicken is rubbery or has super hard bits from the grill and the dressing just doesn't taste as good. I doubt it's made in house but it's definitely different. Also, they recently added carnitas to the menu and I love carnitas so I tried some carnitas tacos and I was beyond disappointed. First of all, my tacos were cold. And I'm not talking about they were left out. No, they were ice cold like they had been in the fridge all day and then fished out once I ordered them. I had to reheat it when I got home which kind of ruined everything else like the salsa and sour cream. Also, there were so many onions and salsa on my tacos that it severely overwhelmed my palate and I could barely taste the carnitas. I'll miss my chicken tostada salads but I just can't keep buying from a company that doesn't care about the food they put out.

Horrible customer service. Drive through worker always forgets my items. Terrible employees here and terrible customer service. This is why they work in fast food. Avoid this location

Not stoked on this place right now, usually I'm here at least once a week, but today the chicken was so dry it was not even edible. This is the second time that's happened in the last month, I don't think I'll be visiting this location anymore...
