El Pollo Loco Oakland Reviews
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 !
The dishes arrived promptly and beautifully prepared. The service flow was excellent.
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.
I was going to el pollo loco lunch Great server Marisela de Cashier. He’s recommend the best items we can get definitely. We come back soon.
A fast food that I love. The flavor and quality of the food. And it's for the whole family.
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 got the chicken queso crunch bowl. Delicious. Very big. I took three attempts before I finished it all. Luckily it reheats well (just keep your crunchies separate.) I've already been there again. I…

always a winner with delicious food that is usually among the healthiest of fast food restaurants. Good job on remodeling this space.
Quite literally one of the best dining experiences I've had at el pollo loco. The restaurant was clean and the staff is very kind. I needed some help with using my app to score points and the woman…
I've been coming here for many years and their double chicken tostada salad never disappoints. Thanks, for keeping me fed during work!
Fresh tasting food without a lot of additives. Home cooking. Taste great. A great alternative to fast food
The food was good these nachos really hit the spot. Everything blended correctly going to the customer service to their food environment very clean and efficient and would definitely recommend again

I have been coming to this location for years and the workers have always been sweet. The food is great I love the chicken salad!
Employee need to listen to order details and get everything done correctly. I repeated my order 3x and they still got it wrong.
Ordered chips and guacamole didn't get the chips and chicken thigh not cooked all through.

Been a fan of El Pollo Loco for many years. Tastiest and healthiest fast food you can get. I like the gilled chicken meal and can eat a healthy meal with salad (love the cilantro dressing) and whol…

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.
I went a couple days thru the drive thru since pollo loco is my go to during lunch, somehow they forgot my salad and unfortunately didn't notice till I was back at work. I called and spoke to Evely…
Awful service, rude staff, a total let down. At first I was exited to come here with my family. But a little later, the staff got very worked up when my daughter spilled her drink (SHE Is only …
i order a 2 piece and a quesadilla with rice on the side and they been takin over 20min to give me my food and they give the people after me there food they need better service
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.
