I'm crazy for the crazy chicken! Forget In and Out Burger, this is where I bring my out of state and out of country friends.

Food was good. They don't like to take orders personally, you get encouraged to use their digital touch screen to order (dine in)

We have eaten at Pollo Loco for many years, from Los Angeles to San Diego. At present we are in Yuma Arizona. Unfortunately at this time there's no Pollo Loco here. Sooooh, we take a quick little road trip to El Centro when the cravings hit. I Highly Recommend this Place 🙂

The food here is the best fast food in the area. The salads are the best...better than Wendy's and they are really good. Also the lemonade is great! Eat here once, and you will be back. Now I'm hungry after writing this review. The employees are always friendly and helpful, the drive thru moves fast (my usual wait after ordering is 7 minutes on average) 👍👍👍 IF YOU ARE A TOURIST YOU SHOULD EAT HERE AT LEAST ONCE.

I haven't been to El pollo Loco in so many years, and I enjoyed eating there this time. I got the avocado chicken bowl and it was very delicious. The cashier was friendly. The restroom looked clean.

Red Cross bought meals for the First Responders during a rural fire near Holtville, CA. Good service!

This is a clean and relatively well kept restaurant. The food is the same as they've always made it, but sadly the chicken has shrunk slightly and always seems to be slightly to dry. The prices are still a bit too high, for what it is. The last time I was here, I went through the drive through, there was a smell like an old dishrag. This was odd as it normally smells fine inside and out.

Impressed with the quality of the chicken! Other pollo loco joints that I've been to usually have anorexic chicken but this one is juicy. Flavor is on point will come back.

You know it's fresh when you got 50 chickens cooking on the grill at once! Smells awesome can't wait to try it... I'll update my review if it's not completely banging. But by the looks of it everything .. fresh chicken fresh salsa fresh chips fresh guacamole fresh

I am so thankful they opened this El Pollo on our side of town. The good is always good and hot. I love the chicken 3 piece meal of course, but I also love the Chipotle Chicken Quesdillas. They are so good anf hot and you get 3 large pieces. Hnmmm tasty almost close to home cooking when you are on the go . Teresa

The food is great as always we love pollo loco but I swear everytime we stay and dine in the dining room room looks so gross there is food everywhere on the floor under the tables trashes full I know they are always busy but tables need to be cleaned and floor swept more often it would make the experience wayyyyy better

Great food and service. The large sign out on highway has been out for at least two & 1/2 years.!!! Now that it's dark at 6PM it would be nice to see it. It looks like it's closed. Very few lights on outside. Your worker work hard.!

It was okay. I ordered a plate which consists of a chicken breast and a wing and two side orders. I chose black beans and broccoli. The broccoli was not fresh at all and should not have been served. The broccoli was stale. The ambience is good. The servers are friendly. Their is free wifi. Good selection of fountain drinks and very clean restrooms. Three out of 5 rating as food portions and food quality could be improved.

The quality has gone down, the price has gone up. The seat upholstery is torn.

I've been to other locations and this has never been an issue before. I came in an hour and fifteen minutes early before closing at this location and the workers were cleaning up. Food portions were smaller and undercooked compared to other locations. I Informed the person in charge and she didnt seem to care she is an older lady who wanted to go home early

Food is good. No more salsa bar. No more self serve fountain drinks. Disappointed ☹️. No a/c in the bathroom 🚽.

You have to use a computer to order. There is not a single person to service you at the counter. I will never go back. I walked out.

The food quality is inconsistent. Sometimes it's great, but other times it's dry and hard. For the price, they shouldn't be selling chicken that has sat for hours. -
