I ordered a delivery and though it was going to be 'fast food'. I was so impressed with the quality of the ingredients and flavors in all the dishes. Better than my home cooking. Delivery was fast and tidy. I wish all fast food was this healthy !

Got the Grande Avocado Chicken Bowl, Chipotle Chicken Avocado Burrito, tacos al carbon, quesadillas i think, and Chicken Avocado Burrito with a side of mac n cheese which was a lil too cheesy for me 🥴 the cashier girl was pretty friendly and it was very clean! The tacos al carbon where a little dry as all the ingredients were inside a white tortilla! i loved my avocado chicken bowl, very filling n yummy 🫰 will definitely come back

Love El Pollo Loco, love love love it. Was a Socal staple, there are none on the peninsula, so every once in a while I go to this one. They have expanded their menu, but you absolutely cannot go wrong with the family meals.

Work nearby. Have been in a few times, so on a special day, I wanted to see if their burritos are as good as I remembered. Strikingly clean parking lot vs nearby fast food. No rats like McDonalds. Went in: resteraunt was strikingly clean, and lots of kids. The food was magnificent. I impulsively got a side of corn and it was deliciously roasted. The burrito: very tasty and moist chicken cooked to perfection. Tasty black beans, and they got the 'No raw onions.' the chips were crunchy and thin... And their green tomatillo sause? Perfect with every bite. my co-worker got the two piece chicken. He loved it.

I went to pick up an order for this location during the lunch run on a Monday I believe. It was a very quick transaction even though there was a bit of a line in the restaurant. The to go order was also placed in a sealed bag, better than any seal bag I've seen from other restaurants. Parking was extremely easy as well and I saw that the drive thru line was moving quickly.

Excellent place. You get a lot of food for very little money. The chips and salsa are freshly made everyday, something you can't say about other restaurants. The chicken has a nice "zing" to it. I would recommend the 3 pc Fire Chicken meal. It's great must visit place for a low cal chicken lunch/dinner.

I love El Pollo Loco. I've been coming to this unit since it opened maybe 15 or more years ago. They specialize in training a great staff to make and serve their delicious food. The store is always super clean too. It's well worth your time to visit here.

Decided to stop by here to pick up food for later for work. Didn’t realize until now (5hrs later) that they forgot to give us the churros we ordered. Should have checked after they forgot to give me my drink n I had to ask for it! They sure did charge us for it though. I tried calling and they don’t answer the phone.

creamy chipotle quesadilla contains very little creamy chipotle sauce, much less cheese. a tortilla and chicken certainly were involved. one of the worse quesadilla experiences ive "enjoyed" however the service was good and friendly

Since what I wanted would take awhile, I was made to get out of drive thru and order inside. They wouldn't even take my order in drive thru because they were worried about their time. At that time, I was the only one in drive thru. At least my chicken was hot off the grill.

9 minutes waiting in the Drive-Thru line with not even a single budge and then I got out and went into the store itself and I saw on the screen they had like five red orders that were not even served yet but plus a bunch of other ones. I wonder if it's just bad management or the employees on that shift are incompetent oh by the way it was 208 p.m. Wednesday May 14th

El Pollo Loco – International Blvd, Oakland, CA Every time I come to this El Pollo Loco, it’s always super slow. They clearly prioritize the drive-thru over inside customers, and there’s only one person making food while others are just standing around. I’ve had to wait up to 30 minutes for my order, which is way too long. The customer service isn’t great either—there’s definitely a feeling that some people get served before others, especially if you’re not part of the same ethnicity as the staff. On top of that, they allow homeless people to hang around, and the bathrooms are always smelly and not cleaned regularly. Another annoying thing is that you have to get your own drink from the machine and then keep getting up to ask for a refill, which just adds to the hassle. All of this has made me never want to spend my money here again. It’s a shame because the food is good, but the overall experience isn’t worth it. Something needs to change here.

They close the dine in area 33mins early so I got stuck in the drive through for over 30 mins they usually mess up my order when I go there but this time they didn't. Never coming here again. Picture didn't focus sorry but time was 9:27pm
