Review by Arielle Labadie

I recently dined at El Pollo Loco in Carmel Mountain Ranch, and it was a delightful experience! 🌟 The Fit Chicken Bowl was a standout - packed with flavor and a healthier twist, replacing beans and rice with fresh salad.

The service was quick, and I loved the casual vibe that’s perfect for families. I appreciated the wheelchair-accessible amenities and outdoor seating options too.

While I missed the salsa bar, the staff went above and beyond, especially Saul, who helped me find great deals! I’ll definitely be back for another comforting meal soon! 🍽️
