$7.99 meal. You get a chicken burrito, chicken taco, churro, chips and a drink. Great deal!

### 92657_diner — 4.3/5 · Oct 24, 2025
Food arrived at my table quickly, and at the right temperpre-ordered. The chicken was tender and juicy.  I ordered the 2 piece combination, with the mashed potatoes and corn sides.  This location no longer has a salsa bar, but the salsa can be preordered.  The dining room was clean and neat.

Chicken, prepared in a healthy way.  Food arrived quickly, and the proper temperature.  Combo meal cost is comparable to other fast food places.  Choice of about a dozen sides.  Plenty of free, on-site parking.

Healthy fast food chain stores 
This El Pollo Loco is one street block away from Irvine Valley College. The food is relatively healthy. It offers great fast food choices.
