El Pollo Loco - Livermore

I ordered 3 pieces of chicken with one side of rice and one side of Koleslaw and they gave me only chickens. How could you forget the pages when the box is literally so big?!

I absolutely love this place! The food is fresh and delicious. I've tried nearly everything on the menu, and I've been pleased with all of it. When it comes to fast food chains, this one is probably the closest to offering authentic flavors while serving food quickly. I just had the barilla tacos today and was truly impressed—great flavor, crispy shells, and they tasted amazing when dipped in the sauce. I do wish they had carnitas, but everything they serve exceeds my expectations. I think I’ve been going to Taco Bell for too long—this place is in a whole different league!

Covid update 7/24/21: Open for dine in. Outdoor seating with patio umbrella available. Self service fountain soda. Rotisserie chicken are crispy on the outside and a bit dry inside. Good for large families. Good place for rotisserie chicken Mexican style. Plaza has ample parking with easy access. Place is not busy most of the time. Coke products.

Food tasted good, was cheap, but lasted longer than I thought because this place is drastically understated.

The rice can definitely be improved, especially on Burritos. The rest of the meal was as big as expected. Good friendly staff. A bit of Pricy to get some top-free soil that is as crispy as Mac and cheese from the box before cooking.
