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 Hurst,TX, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
The food is good. However, the attention to basic details is being missed in a big way. Customers have to say their order twice or more and then get up to the window only to find the order is still wrong.
Employees could benefit from some training on active listening. It would improve the customer experience and likely save them time by avoiding repeat work.
Honestly, a basic order, especially when the restaurant isn’t busy, should not be this difficult.
I will be back, but I hope some changes are made.

I asked for a salad and got a bowl…. This is no where near the order I placed…. Called the restaurant to see what they can do and no one answered. Wasted $13 for a meal I didn’t ask for. On top of that the coupon in the app didn’t even work. Beyond disappointing.

Walked in, waited, was not greeted.. for SEVERAL minutes. even others who were there before us walked out.
The restaurant was not busy.. two cars in the drive-thru and it seemed like everyone in the kitchen cared more about joking around than actually working.
Visit was 02/03, around 6:30
