Reviews for El Pollo Loco in Oceanside, CA
Chicken pieces are smaller than I thought possible. Same good flavor but they are using much smaller chickens than before. My... son's leg and thigh meal was more skin and bones than meat ... so dry, not worth the money. My salad was good but not the one Iordered so they gave me a partial refund. They would have made the right one but we were in a hurry so I ate what they gave me.Not going to hurry back. Read more
I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken meal. If I had any complaint, which I don't, it would be the chicken skin was really overdone... could not chew it. The chicken meat however was very moist and tender. Would definitely visit again. Read more
10 dollar burrito that so small. Staff is amazing. The food portion sizing does not make sense. Go across the street to the taco... shop. Double the size. Double the girth. I'm really sad how small this burrito is. It's not even the meal. 6" inches long.Disappointing. That's what she said. Read more
Ordered Pollo Loco to go. It was warm and delicious. The quantity was small and so were the sides. The Mac & cheese is good and... very creamy. Tortillas are very soft and pliable. Read more
Love the food here. Great flavor, good prices. New item: birria! Try the tacos! I love the$5 original pollo bowl combo, comes... with chips or tortillas and a drink, for only$5! Great deal! Read more
My wife bought me this salad today 7/23/21 @ 3:13pm, and As I was chewing my food my teeth made a loud cracking noise. As I was... spitting my food, apparently they allow workers to use fake nails and that?s what I was chewing. One of the most growsexperiences I?ve ever had. This place just for that could be shut down. What a nasty and unpleasant experience. Check your foodbefore you eat you never know how unsanitary restaurants can be ????????????????. I definitely would never recommend this placeEVER. Read more
Horrible experience the restrooms are extremely dirty. No toilet paper. Dinning room dirty unkept. This restaurant really needs... attention b/c it's in bad condition from service to cleanliness. I ordered just to see what I would get and i wasn't surprisedin the least i overheard the staff dreading to have to clean when closing. They were out of cabbage cheese only had a enoughingredients for 5 burritos. Unacceptable in all ways. T hi is restaurant is across the street from a High School and most of theemployees look pretty young so I really dont think they care about this location besides the fact that it's almost across thestreet of what is know as the hood.

Went there twice. Bad service. Employees are basically doing you a favor.. very rude. But the kicker was that the chicken was... so undercooked both times I went there.. Not doing it a third time. Read more
