El Pollo Loco is fast food, but in comparison to other equivalent places, it's pretty dang good!
I came through on a quick lunch break and ordered the chicken avocado taco platter and a side of chips and guacamole. The platter rang in at $6.49 and the chips and guacamole were $2.49. For the price, I thought what I received was excellent! The taco platter came with a side of tasty rice and beans, and the two chicken tacos were very good. When comparing to other fast food chicken tacos, I thought these for sure took the #1 spot. The salsa added just enough flavor without being too spicy or powerful. The guacamole had large chunks of actual avocado in it (not that mystery green liquid kind from a bag) and the chips were thick.
The service was very quick and pleasant, and I had no issues with my order. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. I would return here for a cheap taco meal before venturing off to another fast food place... and would love to return to try some of their other options.
