The good:
The chicken - mmmm. Nothing special but it was nice and tender. This alone I'd give a 4 or 5.
The corn side - It just tastes like it's straight from the can with just the barest hint of some spice but I love sweet corn
The bad:
Door dash online ordering - our family order was supposed to come with 3 flour tortillas and 2 corn tortillas but we did not receive a single tortilla. I'm honestly not sure who's at fault here though.
Pico de gallo - it tasted like not quite ripe chopped tomatoes and that's it. No salt, no lime, no nothing else! That was disappointing
Tortilla chips - they were just OK. Have had freshly made at other restaurants that have been better
Will give the restaurant another try but with different sides next time

Easy to find. Order from the app and it was ready really quick. Double chicken mango bowl was a little dry. I still like their grilled chicken.

This is one of my go to lunch spots during the work week. The food is always fresh and the staff is always really friendly. I recently bumped into someone who used to work there and I asked them how clean the kitchen really is and they said it's actually very clean so I was happy to hear that!

Overall it’s an okay location friendly staff. Thy keep the salsa bar well stocked. Be sure to double check your order as they may be wrong!! We ordered two DOUBLE bacon chicken tostada and they gave me a regular chicken one.
Easy to find parking always check for coupon deals good pricing.

Have been coming to this branch for ages. Never had any issues. Customer service was always great. Careful for that drive thru door you could get hit if the driver is lame.

I wonder if the owner knows that they close their business 40 minutes before closing time…

I just can't with these guys
Second time in a week that they screw up our order
The first time I thought, you know we all have bad days, this time... It was completely wrong. Someone needs to fix the drive thru intercom.somethings got to be wrong to get it the order this mixed up.
Time to revamp this spot!
Del Mar El Pollo Loco is the best!
