El Pollo Loco - Hesperia

Night half of the thing on the menu was out, but the lady on the window was really nice and gave us options.

The only complaint I have about this restaurant is that when I come here, the chicken I receive is old and warmed up again. I usually have to take her out of my meal to enjoy her. And this is unfortunately a usual event.

If it's good, it's good, but too often I find myself with a bowl full of burnt ends or dry, rubbery chicken that has been left on the cooktop for too long. The burnt pieces are particularly frustrating because they are not only inedible but also a health risk. I love this place, but I really wish they would be more careful about removing the burnt or overcooked chicken from their offerings.

My husband and I ordered the four-piece meal since we skipped lunch and were really hungry. It included a wing and a drumstick, which only amounted to four pieces in total. We usually share a chicken breast at home, and I feel like we get more meat than what was served at El Pollo Loco. It wasn't the hearty meal we were hoping for. At nearly $30 for the two of us, it certainly didn’t feel like a good value.

I have tried to like this place over and over but no such luck. Everytime I go the chicken is so dry you need to take a drink just to swallow your bite. I have ordered the family meals and I have ordered the chicken taco salads no matter what I get the chicken is dry and disappointing. Why spend that much money to have to toss the food? I rather just go to stator bros in same parking lot and get a cooked chicken from the deli instead from now on! Sorry I tried
