Social Profile:

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 Kent, WA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.

I grew up in San diego and demolished so much el pollo loco after swim practice, multiple days a week. I’ve been very excited to get a WA location, even if it is a little far away from home.
We ordered the two person chicken meal with side salads, rice, corn and churros. An order of chips and guac. And a chicken verde quesadilla.
Really like the rice and quesadilla. Corn was fine.
I dunno if it’s bc there were so many people/long wait (45 minutes)…but the chicken was not how I remember it. Our chicken was really dry. Also. It was supposed to be 2 thighs, 2 legs, but we got a thigh, a leg and 2 wings.

Also this, given the popularity and the amount of people coming through, the place was relatively clean. I saw a woman w glasses repeatedly attending to the lobby area, stacking cup lids and wiping stuff. It didn’t seem like that was specifically her job, but she was getting it done.

I want to try again in a while to see if the chicken changes.

Waited about an hour for food. I know that’s not that bad for this place right now but initially called and was told 20 mins, and I got there in 5. My order number was 8123, and I heard numbers being called beyond mine up to 8131 and 8132 before I asked what the deal was and they claimed waiting on my legs and thighs, as if I wasn’t watching people after me get legs and thighs. Whatever though look past that. Nail in the coffin is getting home to find out my 12 piece leg and thigh combo is instead a mixed combo, so 4 pieces of my 12 piece chicken is wings and breasts which my kids or I don’t like. Pretty mad about it to be honest. Wanted to go back and get my meal corrected but figured it wasn’t worth the additional time and gas just to wait another 30 to an hour. This all overlooking the fact that you’re cooking the chicken too long for sure, on the dry side. Flavor wise dark meat was tasty, sides are tasty and the crispy chicken tacos were actually really good, just wish I received what I paid for, but the combination of things combined make me not wanna go back and just wait for southern US trips. Hope you guys will get things ironed out eventually.

I am so thrilled to have El Pollo Loco here in Western Washington! I have Southern California roots, and this hit the spot as expected. I came for the Grand Opening ribbon cutting ceremony, and ordered a few things to-go.

Everything was fresh & delicious, and the wait was not bad for a weekday at lunch time.

The parking is a challenge, so plan ahead! Bring your appetite and your patience. They’re a new business and the staff is getting things sorted out. Everyone I interacted with was great, and doing a wonderful job.

This El Pollo Loco has local ownership, so I am very happy to support! Looking forward to many more delicious meals!

Very very good but pricey . My mom got the chicken quesadilla combo, and I got the Mexican Caesar salad.$ 28.00. But the chicken is awesome and the Mexican Caesar dressing went well with the spices of the chicken. I really wished I hadnt liked it cuz its so expensive,but ill be back when I have more funds lol . Very good and worth a try!

Just ate here on Sunday night. The dine-in & drive-thru was packed. The dine-in experience was good, clean bathrooms and tables.

While we were ordering an employee named Maria offered to take our order personally, tell us her favorites on the menu, and got our order out in a timely manner despite how busy it was(thank you Maria!!).

When restaurants are jammed, service is paramount and the staff was dialed. I’ll definitely be back soon.

Ordering was easy enough through the kiosk. But the food takes forever to come out. Also why don’t they put napkins out instead of hiding them? As for the food… well, there’s not much to say. Definitely not worth craving.

Definitely worth the wait, try to go as early in the day as possible so you are guaranteed hot & delicious food. Came on a Tuesday morning after 11am and got the food within 45 minutes. Still long, but not bad. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Come for the chicken, don’t buy anything else on the menu. I actually hate rating a place on customer service where others might and I try and focus on the food. So I’ll keep this part short. They messed up my order and I waited for probably an extra 10 minutes and have my food to other people. They’re new and packed and the drive through is to the street. That being said. I got the chips and salsa, burrito bowl with the shell and churros. I’ll start with the positive. The meat was really flavorful and I appreciate that they cook it whole before tearing it up. That’s always a good sign. The churros were soft and had a lot of cinnamon and sugar. Not much else to them and they fill that gap on being flavorful enough to at least get a kid to eat them without tasting without bready and the ingredients were fresh enough that you could see some similarities of Chipotle but not really as fresh. The taco bowl was about as good as Taco Time’s bowls if you want to be weird about it but I prefer Taco Time. The bad. Everything else. The chips tasted worse than the bagged ones and were kind of dense. The crunch was like eating a cracker. The salsa was watered down and seemed like an after thought to and after thought. It insult to injury from the chips? Not sure. I won’t order those again. The beans and rice were just beans and rice. The rice and chicken were dry. Let’s keep in mind this is fast food, so I had low expectations. The reason for 3 stars. They do one thing and do it well. They bailed the flavor on that chicken. The portion of chicken I got in this salad was a small chicken breast worth. If you’re buying the bowl get double the meat and I’d say double the sauce. So, if you like chicken by itself, come on down. It’s tasty. I can’t see a reason to go back especially with a small dining area unless other people wanted me to go.
