📅 Date of Visit: 12/21/2020 💬 OVERVIEW - 4.25 I've frequented Pollo Loco from time to time, as it is rather close to where I live, and my wife loves their various chicken dishes. 🗺️ LOCATION - 5 Pollo Loco has a great location there along the busy University Parkway in Orem and is easy to get to and to notice from any moving car 🚗. 💲 PRICE - 4 Chicken can be costly especially when you bring a whole family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 to the restaurant. 🍗 PRODUCT/SERVICE - 4 Overall their food is good. It is a challenge when ordering chicken breast, as there are times I have received tendons or ligaments. When I go, I typically order the Chicken Avocado Burrito 🌯, as I find it extremely delicious. 💲 POINTERS/PERKS - N/A The two pointers I would give is to download their app 📱 for points that are redeemable for free products. Also be on the lookout for coupon mailers ✉️ for great deals. 👨‍🍳 EMPLOYEES - 4 Overall, I find the employees friendly and accommodating, however there does time to time seem to be an issue with communication (Spanish/English barrier).

We love Pollo Loco and usually have a good experience. We got some good items that were delicious and filling and that's not the problem I had with my experience this time. My entre seems thrown together and does not look very appetizing. There was plenty of chicken and the chicken here is extremely tasty, I just wish it was put together a little better. However, this is the usual fast food what you see is not exactly what you get experience. You look at the board and see an item, poised perfectly with all pieces meticulously organized around the plate so that it looks like a work of art. Then you get it and it looks nothing like it does on the menu board!! Marketing experts and culinary engineers fabricate what is on the board, and you get something put together by a teenager on the lower-end of minimum wage who would rather be at the mall or hanging with friends. This is just the way reality goes. As I said, it was tasty and after I added dressing and mixed it around, it took on a better look.

I went here for the first time, dined with my spouse during dinner service, these were my thoughts. Pros - Good value for food/service quality - Most items ordered were tasty - Good variety of items on the menu - Clean tables, floors, and bathrooms - Low wait times - Good place for families/groups - It had an interesting Southern California beach party feel - All you can drink soda - Had plug in stations at center table Cons - Minimal staff to customer interaction - The dining area was so cold - The menu was difficult to follow to make a clear decision - Sides selection made it feel like a “Mexi-style KFC” - Limited soda selection Overall a good experience, most of the food was great and it was very clean, however it was so cold inside that it became a point of topic during our conversation. I would only go back through the drive through and I would recommend it to others.

Lately when I go to this location, I always would ask for at least 3 avocado sauces. Every single time they try and "save" money by giving me 2 sauces despite my specific requests each time. When getting the Classic Chicken Burrito, it's been steadily getting worse each time that I go. Since "chicken" is the first ingredient in the item's title, you'd expect there to be "some" chicken in the burrito, right? That's the most frustrating part about them trying to "save" money by making horrible portions of chicken in the burrito. I don't know if they're not properly trained, or if their manager teaches them how to save their money and chicken. But my experience goes as follows: Biting into the top part of the burrito yielded no traces of chicken. I then started to look a little more for it on my second and third bites. However, I didn't see any chicken yet. I proceeded to look very closely at the burrito for any chicken, but there was only rice and beans as I got down to the last 1/3rd of the burrito. I made sure to look with a keen eye for detail before taking any bites to find any chicken present in my "chicken burrito." I never got to any chicken until there was only less than a third left of the burrito. This is where it gets even more disappointing. When I finally found chicken, it was shredded into tiny bits of appalling portions in the last part of the burrito. I made sure to check within those last two bites for any redeeming quality of this "chicken burrito," but to no avail. All I experienced was extremely small chicken bits that were out-shined by bean/rice flavors. Since when do you experience the flavor of beans/rice over seasoned chicken? If that's not enough, one part of a small chicken particle had a sizable chicken bone/cartilage piece which was nasty, and I felt disheartened after trying to enjoy a "chicken burrito." The last time I got this burrito, it was a very similar experience as well as I had TWO chicken cartilage pieces in the extinct chicken meat in this "chicken burrito" that they so ever-lastingly advertise as their "Classic Chicken Burrito" at a restaurant that has "Pollo" in their name. Usually I'm crazy for the taste of chicken, but the last few months I've gone left me feeling crazy after eating...

I have never tried this place until now but I was pretty disappointed. I’m normally not the one to complain about a restaurant but this was outrageous. First off all I drove up to the drive through and the person was so rude. She acted like she didn’t even want me to be there. Then after she swiped my card and gave me my drink, she straight up walked away and I never saw her again. After waiting 5 minutes to get my food it finally came but... it wasn’t my food. The next lady then asks me to pay $8 for my meal and it I tried to explain to her that my meal was $16 and the other lady already swiped my card. So had to pay for another persons meal and finally I was able to somehow get my food and not someone else’s. That’s only is because the manager finally came to resolved the issue. And he refunded me for the $8 dollars. I thought everything was fine after that, I was a little upset because of the lack of communication and bad costumer service but I hoped to at least have a good meal. The food was not great. They made my burrito spicy and I didn’t ask for that. The beans and rice were not that great either. Pretty much I just paid for a over price version of Taco Bell. I hate to say but I probably won’t...
