Opinions de El Pollo Loco La Mesa
I’ve been coming here for years, however there is a worker that I want to highlight that has really made my experience amazing within the last 9ish months and it’s finally time that I write a review about him. His name is Caston. I see him quite a bit because i’m at this location often, but every. single. time. he provides the most amazing customer service. Whether it’s in the drive through or in the lobby (most of the time drive through) it’s always good. He is always kind and friendly and always gives gets my order perfect. Honestly great customer service like this makes me keep coming back. I don’t know if he is a manager, and if he isnt, he gives manager quality service. It also isn’t just me that thinks this. I’ve talked to plenty of friends and they also talk about the service they get by him. Once again, I just wanted to highlight Caston (either a crew member or manager I don’t entirely know). The food is also always super good. So good job El Pollo Loco La Mesa!
Excellent street corn salad with cilantro dressing
Great restaurant and excellent friendly staff!
One of my favorite fast food restaurants. Always very clean, with good customer service. The food is always delicious. Thank you.
Thank you to the manager who responded to my questions about ordering from the catering menu (in-store the morning of 11/18), those who carefully packed the large order and had it ready right on time (5:15 p/u on 11/18) and the associate who kindly carried it to my car! Bonus: The group LOVED the food! I will definitely order again.
I love the chicken and always ask to hook it up with a big crispy one and they don't even hesitate and refuse to take tips I hate cause they deserve them and yeah todo muy bien
Had a chicken bowl with avocado and was pretty damn good to be honest the only thing I didnt like was the churros because they didnt have enough cinnamon and sugar on them other then that great meal
We get takeout here about once a month. The chicken is amazing and so is the cilantro salad dressing.
I love El Pollo Loco for a quick and cheap meal that keeps me on track with my muscle building goals without being too high in calories. I have probably built most of my physique over the last 10 years through chicken, beans and rice. I recommend the original Pollo bowl with the spicy chipotle salsa roja. It's very hot but so good. I also like to come on Tuesdays and get the 2 for 5 tacos (tacos al carbon) but I usually take the meat out and just add it to my bowl. Or I eat the tacos with just 1 tortilla instead of 2 to save calories. If you're smart you can definitely get a healthy and high protein meal here without spending a ton of money. It's about half the price of my Chipotle order even with a bowl and 2 tacos on Tuesdays.
Great service here. And they actually wipe off the tables here unlike point Loma the filthiest El pollo to exist. The only negative is the grease traps smell so bad that's all you can smell when you walk in the door is funk.
I LOVE the shredded chicken crunchy tacos, and whenever I call home and ask if my family would like that for dinner it’s always an easy YES! Every time I’ve come here, the staff are in such a friendly mood and it makes me feel happy to come back.
I've been a regular at **El Pollo Loco** restaurants since they first opened. This particular location has seen its share of ups and downs. My recent visits had left much to be desired—both in terms of service and food quality. However, I'm pleased to report a noticeable turnaround on my latest visit. It appears there's been a change in management, and it's made a significant difference. The restaurant is now operating much more efficiently, and the food has returned to the high standard I've come to expect from this chain. The flavors are vibrant, and the meals are prepared with care, reflecting the quality that originally made me a fan of **El Pollo Loco**. For those who may have had subpar experiences here in the past, I recommend giving it another try. It seems they're back on track and better than ever!
Good food, and little bit salty but good flavor.
Everything has always been great here, except the coleslaw, It's been a strikeout three times in a row.
Clean restaurant, good looking property, well run from what I can tell. Maybe this is nitpicky, but for some reason this location tends to BLAST the speaker volume in the drive thru. I come here often, and it’s jarring to be greeted by such a loud PA system on my way home from work. I’ve seen other customers mention this, too. Please take it down a few notches! Other than that issue, I love coming here.
Worst prices of any location in San Diego. Cost 2x more to eat at this location than other locations. I can go eat way better tacos at City Tacos 2 blocks away for a better price. Done with the LOCO pricing of El Pollo loco
This location is trash. Every single time I've come here they've messed up my order. One time I called to complain and they said they were going to write my name down, the next time I went for my replacement order they claimed they had no record of me calling. I go to El Pollo Loco's 7-8 times a month and it's disappointing that this location can't seem to get it together. ------ Update: El Pollo Loco corporate office reached out and offered me a free meal. I went back to this location and they messed up my order again. I can't eat dairy so I asked for this items and the side. They have me an entirely deconstructed meal with EVERYTHING on the side. The beans spilled out into the bag. I had to go back so they could make it correctly AGAIN.
I’ve been getting double chicken tostada bowls for years and this el pollo loco is by far the worst notice there is no avocado hardly any chicken and not even full this is the worst El pollo loco I’ve ever been to and the skimpiest no double chicken and no avocado but yet charged me like it did stay away these people clearly hate they’re job.
