El Pollo Norteño Lake Forest

"Wanted to try their chicken for the past few months. I'm not sure why I waited this long. Got the whole chicken takeout with Maccaroni salad and Refried Beans. Absolutely delicious! Grilled chicken with mesquite. A touch of smokey BBQ flavor...moist and incredible flavor! WOW! Blows away El Pollo Loco. Maccaroni salad was close to mom's from WI. Sides were huge! Will be back soon and often!"

"Food is absolutely delicious. Customer service is beyond amazing! Ana and her staff go above and beyond to make the customer feel appreciated and cared for. Thank you guys for the amazing service and quality food. I definitely recommend 10 out of 10!"

"Wish the dinning area was bigger because it gets packed. The food is great!ove their beans and the chicken soup is fresh and delicious. Everything I've had here so far is on point. I just wish the dinning room was bigger."

"I was recommended to go there by a friend. There were some people sitting down and a few people in line so I figured it must be good. I was really craving Juan Pollo but I didn’t feel like driving to Santa Ana. The first thing I noticed was the prices seemed a little high. The service was prompt and the atmosphere was good. When I got home and opened my eight piece combo that cost $30.the chicken was really dry. Flavor was good just really dry. The refried beans were just a cup of salt!! my wife took one bite and couldn’t take another. The potato salad was OK but it seemed really bottled. It did not taste homemade . The potatoes were kinda rubbery."

"I had a chicken plate with rice and beans. And a taco de birria. The chicken was moist and delicious. The charro beans were ready good as was the rice. The taco de birria was quite flavorful. The horchata tasted a little watered down but wasn't bad at all. The staff were really nice and helpful. Especially the person at the counter (7/3/22 at around 1:00 pm). Good visit. Will definitely come back for more!"
