I found the dark chicken to be very good. It was seasoned well and not dry. I had broccoli and beans for sides and they were good as well. Everything is good and comes to you nice and warm.i will definitely order again and recommend

Food is very fresh, very tasty, with full-size pieces of chicken, not dried out, no scraps left except bone. Just know that DoorDash refers to 4pc as "Half Chicken" but that's Not actually an option in their system. Your 4pc choice will be 2-thigh/2-drum OR 2-breast/2-wing. It'd be great IF there were Half Chicken option. I'll def order again!

All their food is so great, so yummy. You have more options when ordering from their website (or going thru their Drive Thru) if you want check that out. I'm trying to limit carbs. With my 4pc dark meat, I get sm. coleslaw + sm. side salad (no tortilla strips, add avocado, add shredded cheese). In a bigger bowl at home, I combine that salad + coleslaw + their Salsa Fresca + two drumsticks, and my own low-fat dressing. Wow is that good, and filling! Highly recommend El Pollo Loco.

Salsa Verde Quesadilla. the smallest amount of chicken. honestly you can't even call that a chicken quesadilla. Hardly any cheese. pretty much sauce and tortilla

Terrible, $20 for 4 pieces of bland, cardboard chicken is terrible. Save your money, put this place out of business already.
