★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Claudia Aragon · Feb 2026

I went to pollo loco near my house there service was been poor lately the three times I been there during January and February they forgot an item or put wrong item such as cilantro dressing for salad instead of Ranch twice. The worst was last night’s chicken bowl both chicken and rice tasted funny from the first bite like an idiot I still ate it as it was my dinner. This Morning sadly my body is paying for it as I’m sitting on toilet feeling ill. Gone to restroom diarrhea X3 times in last hour. Calling in sick for Work today I’m positive it was the Pollo Bowl. Losing money over this I am staying away from El Pollo Loco for a while.

I picked up a mobile order for my son which made him sick. The chicken was no good, not even the dog would go near it! Cant complain about service or atmosphere since I drove through it, but since Im.still trying to wash the smell of that chicken off my fingertips so I dont gag.....pretty sure someone there knows that chicken was going bad.....cooked and sold it anyway! My son paid $24:89 for a stomache, diarrhea and vomiting. Unfortunately, he cant smell or he wouldnt have eaten any of it! Hit in the face with a bat and robbed in his youth......

They didn't honor a coupon that I presented. We ordered for three people and they only gave us one fork. Service was just horrible.
