El Pollo Loco - Vista

This is my first time in the years after El Pollo Loco. I ordered a chicken nachos for 9.99. It was okay, but very small for the price and hardly any toppings. For a few more dollars, I would have got a huge order from Carne Asada Nachos from Vallarta in Carlsbad... or some Mexican restaurant. So I was really disappointed at the cost of such a small amount of food.

For quick food, it's healthy. Chicken is baked or grilled, not fried deep, no batter, nothing of it. They contain fresh vegetables of a kind in most of their menu items. If you drink water instead of drinking soda pop, it's not a bad option. You could make a lot worse for fast food.

Wish I could say it was better! I do have a question. Why is the chicken skin so tough? It's like trying to eat leather. But, it's saving grace is that the salads are good and the whole pinto beans are great!

They've taken some of the new things on the menu off already and have a few more newer ones. This time the chicken was better than other times at others in the chain. I wish they would get a vinigerett dressing. The glop they offer you or put on is gross! I always have to remember to ask to leave it off.

Everytime I've gone back to pollo loco in Vista has been a disaster! They can NEVER get my order right . The Chicken was cold and they added Pico again. Plus They had no salsa or dressing at 8 PM ? Horrible not coming back here again. Used to have better expectations from here.
