While some things have changed over the last few decades, El Pollo Loco’s delivery of fresh, authentic food has not. Everything starts with whole chickens that are slowly marinated in a special recipe of herbs, spices, fruit juices and garlic. The chicken is then expertly fire-grilled to perfection the authentic way – on our signature open-flame grills – then hand cut into your favorite Mexican entrees. We put that same dedication and care into our handmade guacamole, salsas and dressings every day. At El Pollo Loco in Menifee,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Fast-food chain outpost known for Mexican classics made with fire-grilled chicken.

So I live like 8 minutes away from this pollo loco and every time I go, super fast service.. Today they accidentally forgot my salad dressing, and I didn’t realize until I got home. I called them asking if i could come pick one up and they apologized about the mistake and told me to come get one.. I got there 10 minutes later and the lady who previously took my order apologized and gave me 2 creamy cilantro dressings and a whole other side salad… that was very sweet of her, and I never get upset at restaurant employees for making mistakes because I’m a waitress myself and I know how it is., great customer service I love coming here!!

The drive thru guy Issac has put a MASSIVE dent in that atmosphere. Why would you out someone so miserable there. He made my experience garage! I dont ever wana go back there.
I asked for chicken and he said there was a 45min wait. No problem. I told him I wasn’t going to order and that I’ll just pass through. Mind you, I was patiently waiting in line for about 15mins because I was stuck in between lines. Again no problem.
As I’m there waiting. I thought to myself maybe I’ll just grab some mash potatoes because they’re so good and then go buy some deli chicken and call it a night.
Issac made it seem like I ordered 70 pieces of chicken r I ght before closing time.
Made me feel like garbage.
Please remove him from the windows. He doesn’t deserve to be there.
I’m done going to this place if he’s there.

My drive thru orders are rarely correct, nobody pays attention to what they are doing. Items are frequently missing or the wrong size. Food quality is just ok compared to other locations I’ve been to.

I came inside and The lady “Latrice” was extremely rude and short handed with me. I was trying to order my food and she had an extremely rude attitude from the start. She made it seem like asking for salsa was an issue, as well as asking for straw, and utensils. She sighed and sounded annoyed when I asked to change my order to 3 pc combo meal instead of an 2pc and when someone came to help me she was being rude to the other employee as well. She’s very unprofessional and seemed to cause a lot of turmoil within the back which delayed my food coming out. She’s very very rude and treated me as if I was wasting her time. Probably never coming back to this store, she made it unwelcoming and a hostile environment and I’m a customer so I could imagine how her employees feel. I just wanted food and I felt like I was the issue. It took me 8-12 minutes to get my food and she kept leaving the front unattended. I asked her when my food was coming out because I have to go to work (I’m on my lunch break) she told me “it will be out when it’s ready” and gave me a stank face. Very rude! very unprofessional! very loud practically yelling. She yelled in the back “3PC chicken they changed there mind” rolled her eyes and looked at me with a stank face as if asking her to do her job was chore. Hopefully next time I come Robert is there to serve me. I come often and he is always happy to serve, extremely kind, and in a good mood.

Food was tasty. People are polite but not attentive as people sometimes need to wait a bit more than 5 mins for a worker to ask if the customer needs assistance. Pricing of things seem high for the quality. Worth a try for those who want to try their marinated chicken.

Food was what you’d expect from an El Pollo Loco, however, the service was horrible. Isaac is extremely unapproachable and rude. I’m not one to complain about how workers talk but this needs to be addressed.

I love their chicken breast so I come here often. I get good service from the girls because they’re always friendly and never have a problem with my order. Today some boy with glasses did not want to give me my mobile order I had placed in line as they were taking over 5+ with each car. It was my turn and he said I would have to go back in the drive thru and wait again. Confused because I only got two single items which shouldn’t take that long. A nice lady was working with him and she said she can make it as it was no big deal but as I went to the window the same guy with glasses annoyingly said the same thing and he didn’t want to give me my order! The girl behind him said she will give it to me so I don’t get why he had so much attitude to begin with. Not good customer service from that guy. Didn’t get his name but he had glasses and dark hair. Was working at 7:50pm. He needs better training and customer service he sucks

Gave them enough chances. Burned food and hate crimes have ruined my day on several occasions. It’s not worth going here.
El Pollo Loco at other locations is good so I suggest those or literally anywhere else nearby.

Food was great, service could have been better – only because it seemed very disorganized. People who ordered after us got their food first…
Clean bathrooms- very much appreciated!!

Got a tostada and taco el carbon. They must have been out of thigh meat because the taco had dry dry dry breast meat. The tostada also. This location is notorious for drawer chicken and obviously pre cooking a grip of breast meat and keeping it in the warmer. I attached a picture of my dry old chicken. We ended up making eggs for dinner. Thanks EPL
