| - Out for a quick bite today & in the mood for chicken, we decided my husband and I to go to El Pollo Loco. We have been here a few times before however, quite a long time ago now.
We ordered the family meal which has 8 pieces of chicken and 2 large sides. We decided to order the rice and coleslaw. For some reason they offered us an extra side for free. Glad they did, we picked the corn without asking why! The whole meal with one small drink cost around $26, not too bad.
While waiting for our food, we got our toppings from the bar and the drink. A few minutes later, they called our name. When we opened the box, we were surprised to see that the chicken pieces were small, they looked like Cornish hens rather than chicken! The drum stick was super tiny. We were worried this wasn't gonna be enough after all but we decided to just dig in and hope with all the sides and the tortillas that we would be full.
Honestly, the food was delicious. The chicken was tender and fresh and the sides were great. By the time I had my third piece I was absolutely full. My husband enjoyed the rest of the meal and by the end of it, we were both glad we ordered it not more, not less because it was the perfect portion.
Will be coming back again. I've always liked their food and so far they have never disappointed me.
