Really good chicken here, I always order ahead and my food it's ready when I get there even when it's packed.

I heard great things about this spot, so we went here after having pizza next door. You can see them cook the chicken in the window while you wait for your order!We got a California burrito, surf and turf fries, beef rolled tacos, and the 12- piece chicken meal. The burrito was loaded with lots of meat! The chicken was very flavorful and came with tortillas, rice, charro beans, and pinto beans! It was so much food! Everything was delicious! Can't wait to come back when the cravings hit.

Food: awesome!!! My daughter got the California Burrito and hubby & got shrimp tacos. Hubby & I would've gotten the shrimp burritos, but their shrimp burrito has rice. I asked if they can leave it out, yes they can. I asked if they can sub with lettuce, that's when her face changed, the smile disappeared and the voice became gruff - no, we don't do substitutions! And so there goes my happy face. (I am very reactive). Ok, so that's why we got the shrimp taco instead of the burrito. And left 10% tip instead of 20%. A 10% difference isn't much but for me, every cent counts, why still leave a tip? Money is money, every cent counts, it may not be much, but once upon a time, I think about how much milk I can buy for my kids with how much money is left after paying our bills - I don't want kind of living for anyone, and so I tip, hoping it helps someone, even a little bit. Ambience: meh, it's just a place to eat & go, no reason to dawdle. All in all, I will still support El Pollo Grill, just not this location. I prefer the Otay Ranch Mall branch. The staff are friendlier and happier.

Another successful Taco Tuesday Tryout for us. We have been El Pollo Grill Customers for their awesome Family Chicken Meals; which are AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. We decided to try them out for Taco Tuesday. Upon entering, we saw several parties waiting for phoned in orders, which was a great sign. There were about 4 tables and 1 booth available for seating, and the place was super bright and welcoming. The menus are very well written, bright, and perfectly located above the ordering counter.The woman who helped us, Lili, was super customer service oriented. She answered our first question, "Do you have Taco Tuesday Specials?" very well. They have: $1.50 Grilled Fish Tacos, $3.50 Carne Asada Tacos, $2.99 Pollo Asado and Carnitas Tacos. They also gave Modelo, Pacifico, and Corona Mexican Beers in bottles in the chilled beverage case, yay!We found a cute nostalgic table for two with red chairs. It was next to the chef viewing window so that we could see them prepare the yummy food and chicken that we love to get here. They have authentic tortillas and the chef area is clean, tidy, and orderly. I was impressed.Our food was DELICIOUS! We had: 2 Grilled Fish Tacos, 1 Carne Asada Taco, 1 Pollo Asado Taco. 1 Order of Rice and Beans, and 2 Mexican Beers. Everything in this location is clean and tidy. There is a woman who is actively clearing clutter from the tray return, the condiments area, and the freestyle drink machine area. She was very customer service oriented as well.We will mark this place for one of our new go-to places for Taco Tuesday. Great food, great vibe, great traditional Mexican Music, and they had the NBA Finals Game on one of the TVs (bonus!).

This restaurant deserves a 10 star rating for the quality of its ingredients. One of the best taco shops in san Diego by far. Hopefully they stay this way

This is my go to for a chicken cali burrito. It's always fresh and the portions are very generous. I'm always cutting my burrito in half to eat the next day or later in the day. Great customer service and delicious Mexican fast food.

This establishment focuses on the grill but reads predominantly Mexican food - lots of options - fries and chips with several options of protein and also the same for burritos and then the meals that start with a grilled chicken (1/4, 1/2 or full), tortillas, and then options for sides. Prices higher than last visit but not quite yet to the point where you search for cheaper options (certainly can find cheaper Mexican fare but grilled like this - not likely)Tempted to try their version of carne asada fries but know I can't (or shouldn't) do a serving on my own I opted for a 1/4 grilled chicken with fries, salad and corn tortillas. It was a "to-go" order.The salsa bar is modest - three options - their primary red has a kick and the one labeled "spicy!" Is accurate. I have strong tolerance and these were pleasing - stayed mostly with the primary red. Didn't try the green.ProsWell packagedDecent portion sizeTortillas rock Salsa on pointFlavorful chicken ConsSalad dressing in same size container as salsa so assumed they forgot salad dressing - meed to mark or otherwise separateNo utensils in bagNo napkins in bag Chicken a touch dry I'd definitely return - I might ask for a chicken just off the grill which might result in a juicier chicken. Give it a try.

I'm very impressed! I'm very picky about my Mexican food. I usually only go to 1 taco shop but after trying El Pollo Grill I think I will start coming here too! I tried the Cali burrito with carne asada and it was sooo filling and tasty. They are definitely not stingy with the portion sizes. The cashiers are very nice and the place itself is clean and colorful. For dessert I had a churro and flan...which were not my favorite. But food wise, every plate I saw them give out looked so delicious. Next time I go I will definitely try something else on the menu!

We usually go there and get the family chicken meal which is INCREDIBLE, but tonight we decided to share a burrito. Not just any burrito....the San Diego Burrito. It was a fever dream, in a good way, especially since we added two chicken taquitos in our burrito. Basically, this gynormous (easily sharable even for two super hungry people) delicious burrito was filled to the brim with carne asada, fresh shrimp, bacon, rice, fries, guac, cheese and two chicken taquitos. OMG, flavor and texture explosion. This burrito was so tasty I will dream about it. The servers were friendly and the decor was festive and casual. We were happy to find outdoor seating because the music was super loud inside. Also, I was excited at first that they had a Coke Freestyle machine but quickly became disappointed because there were no caffeine free soda options aside from Sprite. I typically like to get Caffeine free Diet Coke from those machines and the Sprite was flat to boot. But I didn't come for the drinks--the burrito spoke for itself. We're already regulars here but now we're going to have to switch up our order more often because they have so many amazing food options. Looking forward to trying the chiliquiles burrito next time!
