El Pollo Loco

Food was great and staff was friendly.

Review Updated ======= I have been back 3 times now to this Dana Point location. The staff is super friendly, the food is great for quick Mexican eats. But most importantly, they’ve worked hard at constantly wiping the tables down. Glad to see the improvements. ======= Great tasting food, i eat at this chain when possible as its affordable, great quality, and tasty. I usually go for one of the $5 combos as it is the right proportion and it comes with a drink. The only downside at this particular location is the cleanliness of the tables in the dining area. Since i have eaten here more than 4 times now in a short span i can say it is not just a fluke day.

This particular location of El Pollo Loco is so on the ball it is unreal. Every single time I walk in there or anyone walks in there for that matter they always greet you and always say hello and it's not just one person that does it it's several. Their food is always on point perfectly cooked and packaged very well and neat. They take time to ensure that you're very happy before you leave especially when you're doing take out. For example tonight when I got my three piece meal, I ordered all chicken breast and they felt that one of the chicken breast was not as big as it should have been so they showed me it before finishing packing it up and ended up giving me a thigh as well. I'm extremely pleased with this location I always have been and honestly I'm sure I always will be.
