I haven't been to El pollo Loco in so many years, and I enjoyed eating there this time. I got the avocado chicken bowl and it was very delicious. The cashier was friendly. The restroom looked clean.

Impressed with the quality of the chicken! Other pollo loco joints that I've been to usually have anorexic chicken but this one is juicy. Flavor is on point will come back.
