One tostada to rule them all. I went two days back to back because their double chicken tostada salad slaps. Tons of food and a large soda for less than $15 makes me very happy. Drive through line was not too bad when I went before the lunch rush. I’ll def get it again.

Never thought fastfood can be this good, their quality of meat, food and sauces... unbeatable

I waited close to 30 years to go back to eat here. Use to go all the time when we lived in Vegas. Still the best chicken and great food

My first visit to this franchise let alone this location. We had chicken avocado street tacos and chicken tortilla soup both very good and served fast with nice condiments. Both are good fast food options to reduce junk food intake. Very clean restaurant and friendly folks.

Love the grilled chicken here. It is just like we do it at home. For a chain this place is outstanding

Not as busy on Sunday after 3pm. Food is cooked right and they don't skimp on portions. Table, seats and restrooms are clean but floors could use some "fabuloso". Also need to fix the lack of Horchata. They do have the unsweet and passion fruit teas.

I have been there a lot of times every time the food is good and the service is great. They have a curbside delivery a little play room for the kids The place is always clean and workers very helpful and when it comes to ask for their opinion

Hiring. Went to apply. Didn't have any printed apps. Week later, same issue. Met with 2 managers, gave contact info then interviewed. Waiting for a schedule and or my social security card until I can be brought on. Kinda unsure. Yet I can only take on 2 locations with an unknown position due to too many cashiers yet they still are hiring but signs say nothing about possible positions.

I am at this El Pollo on a weekly basis, this week, twice! I work nearby and it's an office fav. The people at this location are fast, friendly and accommodating. We have five people in our office and there are always a few modifications to our order. I nearly always go thru the drive-thru and it is usually correct. There was recently an exception to that but for as often as we go there, that's not bad. I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 because the last time I used the restroom (which honestly has been a long time (actual years) it was not very clean. So I can't give it a five because I am uncertain of that. However I did eat inside one night when I wasn't working about a month ago and the restaurant itself is clean.
