  About a week ago I tried the chicken tenders I was surprised they were very very good they're better than canes chicken tenders. They were juicier, cane's tenders seem to be a little drier. I wanted to try the spicy but I was afraid that it might be too hot and it would ruin the whole thing and I wouldn't have any dinner to eat so I opted for two original and one done spicy so I could find out whether or not I like the spicy. It had Mexican spices on it and I like spicy but not so hot that you can't taste what you're eating only the hotness so I tried it and it was so good and especially dunked in the ranch dressing that even helped I think to cool it down a little bit but it really wasn't that hot. But I will warn you it was hot the next morning if you get my meaning. And I had them substitute whatever it is that comes with the chicken tenders substitute that with a scoop of mashed potatoes and gravy they kind of screwed up on that I got a container of nothing but gravy. That's why I gave them a four star instead of a five. Otherwise everything would have been perfect. I'm going to have it again and try it again Friday night's dinner and hopefully I can get a scoop of mashed potatoes with some gravy on it to make it more of a complete dinner instead of chips or whatever comes with the tenders I'm not sure. I also tried the Pollo loco dip sauce to see what that tasted like and to see if it was too hot or not and it wasn't I used it on the regular chicken tenders. Through the years I have never liked El Pollo loco.I do now.

  Food was good, service was fast. Restrooms are outside of building which is strange but over all alright.

  This is one time I've been to El Pollo when the chicken was just really so dry. I think it had been on the grill since opening. It was a bad experience. The service was great. But the chicken not so much.

  My husband used to live in California and he bragged about it for 25 years and I finally got to enjoy it, it was awesome.

  I used to live in Los Angeles and have not been here in 35 years. I have bragged about how awesome the food is. The flavor was off the chart! The only reason it wasn't 5 stars was the pieces of chicken were small. You need to expand into Tennessee!
