⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10 stars if I could) El Pollo Loco in San Clemente is basically my second kitchen at this point 😂 I’m here every other day, no exaggeration. The whole family loves it, the kids go crazy for it, and honestly… it’s hands down the best flame-grilled chicken around. Period. That chicken is always juicy, smoky, perfectly seasoned — not dry, not bland, not drowning in grease. You can actually taste that it’s grilled, not just cooked and slapped together. Huge difference. And let’s talk about the rest of the menu because it deserves respect too. The quesadillas? Dangerous. The tacos? Solid every single time. Rice, beans, sides — everything just works. It’s one of those places where you can order almost anything and you know it’s gonna hit. What really keeps me coming back though (besid
I went on Taco Tuesday where any, two tacos are just $5.00. I enjoyed the chicken avocado tacos. And was very, suprised as to both, how large and fresh the avocados were. The staff here are excellent as well. Although I live near another El Pollo Loco store, I make the drive down to this one, because it's so much better than all of the other locations I've visited.
genuinely the best el pollo loco experience I’ve ever had. food was absolutely delicious and the staff was super friendly!! if I were local I’d frequent this place 10/10
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.
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
