El Pollo Loco Lancaster Reviews
Great customer service, Mackenzie deserves a raise. He went over and beyond to assist our family.
They were fast and the food was amazing. Great deals with coupons. Perfect family feast.
Sometimes there's a wait in the car line but the soup is worth, it's very good when catching flu
stopped by the El Pollo Loco in Lancaster, CA for a quick meal, and my experience was pretty average. The staff was friendly enough, and my order came out in a reasonable amount of time, but the food just wasn’t as fresh as I’m used to from other locations. The chicken had good flavor, but it was a bit dry, and a couple of the sides tasted like they had been sitting out for a while. The restaurant itself was mostly clean, though a few tables needed wiping down. Nothing terrible, but nothing impressive either. Overall, it wasn’t a bad visit—just not great. I’d go back if I’m in the area and need something quick, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for this location.
Way better than Taco Bell. I gave them 4 stars because their sides are quite small and cost $6-7!
Not what i expected. I order my food the girl forgot some stuff and i didnt get what you i paid for. In my burrito i got lots of cabage not the right amount of chicken and on the tostada lots of letuce not enough chicken.
Food quality was not that great. Hardly any flavor. Had a street corn burrito bowl and the chicken was pretty bad. Tasted like it was 9 hrs old and had the texture of it also, dried and shriveled. If I hadn't gone through the drive through I would have returned it. I'll never eat this brand again. Made me feel nasty 🤢 Do not recommend
I came by at lunch time today and they were moderately busy, nothing too crazy. Took me about 20 minutes to order on the kiosk and it seemed pretty hectic in the kitchen. I am writing this review because I am disappointed on how my food came out. The chicken in my chicken avocado quesadilla had pieces of fat and hard charred pieces which made it difficult to chew. Also, there were literally only 4-5 chips in my chip bag. Lastly, I asked for an extra pico and she took a green sauce away and I didn’t notice till I was gone :(
I asked for Loaded Chicken Nachos with no guacamole, Pico De Gallo, and Sour Cream. They put guacamole on it. I mentioned it, because I am allergic to avocados. Instead of making a new one, they just removed the guacamole, but not all of it. Needless to say, I didn't eat them. And I really wanted to try them...
The posted closing time is 10:30 PM, but when I arrived at 10:20 PM, the restaurant was already closed. This is misleading and inconvenient for customers who rely on the listed hours. If the location closes earlier, the hours should be updated accordingly.
No real customer service, forced to use kiosk. I'm tired of not getting a smile with service.
Cashier was amazing however when asking for a wing lovers the cook Jose was rude he then about about a legs lover Jose said I have nothing bushing him off. Very poor team work on Jose behalf and he was really rude...service stars are for cashier and clearly there were 2 full racks of chicken that was done
Edit from Review of 7 months ago: Got a coupon in the mail to try their new stuffed quesadillas so we thought we'd try them again. I ordered 1 shredded beef stuffed quesadilla & 1 chicken & avocado stuffed quesadilla. Get home quite a bit later (4 cars in front of me but I was gone for over 30 minutes and I live about 3 minutes away!) and cut them in half as my husband wanted half of each. ZERO avocado in the "chicken & avocado" quesadilla - and the wrapper even had an avocado sticker on it!! I immediately called but nobody would answer the phone! 1) When it takes a long time in line 2) When the employees obviously want to be elsewhere 3) When you don't get what you ordered / what was advertised 4) When they don't bother answering the phone ... it's time to give up trying! Pictures attached of an avocado sticker but none in the food! Been recovering from surgery for the last couple weeks & didn't feel like cooking. Grabbed 2 new coupons & got to the drive-thru just before 10:00. I didn't realize I could only use 1 coupon! So for 2 salads & 2 quesadillas, my total was OVER $30 (that's WITH a coupon - it would've been over $40 otherwise!) for 2 people!! When I got home, I emptied the bag so I could go over my receipt ... but there wasn't one! So not only was the cashier exasperated that I asked how much something was, he didn't bother giving me a receipt.
I like everything here except the grilled chicken is always overcooked. This has been since October. It was dry and the skin was black. See the pic, I had to eat around the burned parts. Please stop burning the chicken... I would give a higher rating but I mostly get grilled chicken here. Update: Went here again 3/26/19 and they forgot items (salsa, utensils, straw) and I ordered my chicken juicy but still a little dry. Used the form that owner suggested in response to my last review and I received no acknowledgment that my form was sent. Downgraded to 1 star. Guess I'll go to the one on 10th St W and L from now on.
