El Pollo Loco Montclair Reviews
Food is always good. Staff were very helpful.
Love this El Pollo Loco! The vibe is great, the music is fun, and the food is always on point. Plus, it's super clean in here.
Very nice guy this time. Im surprised thanks brother. For my employees food everyone was very happier
Possibly the best el pollo loco ive been to, everything was fresh. I didnt like the mashed potatoes so thats why i removed a star but other than that everything was good. This location servers horchata! Bathrooms are clean but one bathroom was out of toilet paper so i feel like they need to be more on top of restocking the bathrooms but other than that i rate this place a 9.5/10
Disappointed, food was small portions and chicken had no flavor. No ice for the soft drink and the soda was flat. The meal and drink was about $13. Will not return to this location.
They normally have pretty good chicken maybe it was the time of day that I went which was around 5 ish because it was dry that's why I only gave them three stars for that day
It's been a month and they still haven't replaced 3 of their soda/ soft drinks in the lobby. And the other ones perform poorly. Only 2 of the sodas work properly.
The only reason why I'm giving this a 2 star is because the guy running the drive thru had good customer service and was very nice. But other than that, look at the picture.... IS THIS WHAT NACHOS ARE SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE? I paid close to $10 for these. The nachos finally made a comeback so I decided to order the double chicken nachos. and what a disappointment..... Isn't there supposed to be the nacho cheese "sauce" they normally would put on there? And where is the double chicken? 🤔 Not going there again. Ended up throwing half away because they were so dry. To bad. Because these nachos used to be bomb.
Their taco tuesday tacos were terrible, their chicken was mushy some of the lettuce was old, and some parts of the hard shell tacos were burnt, taps on the condiments were not fully put on correctly.Terrible experience
I was just picking up my order and they had both doors closed for whatever issue. I called and asked if I could have somebody give me my order since the drive thru line had 7 cars and the girl that answered said no. I asked to speak to the manager and she said the same thing. Then the girl that answered the phone walked by me. I asked to cancel my order and they said I couldnt because you have to call customer service. Just ridiculous. There’s literally 5 el pollo locos in a five mile radius, this is the last time I’m going to this one.
They need to listen better to the order and remember to give everything. Changing from regular to large doesn't give me back all the time I wasted going back in line.
I asked the manager for help with a coupon I got from completing a survey but she refused to help. She said she was on her break. Manager has poor customer service skills, I understand she’s on her break but someone should able to help me, I left without food. I will not be coming back to this location.
I went on my break to get some quick food. Ordered there at the store, with them having 6-7 employees. And they took over 30 minutes to get my order out, my break was exactly 30 minutes. So I spent my break waiting for food. When you have a full staff of 6 or more people orders shouldn't be taking that long.
Gave me the worst food poisoning I’ve ever had, wouldn’t recommend to anyone. I didn’t eat ANYTHING since breakfast (toast and eggs I make daily) and I was fine all day and then got el pollo loco around 7:00pm and then woke up around 12:30am puking and diarrhea violently, projectile vomiting, severe headache and a 103° fever around 10am the next day. Considered being hospitalized due to severe dehydration. DONT COME HERE
