Review Of EPL’s Grilled Chicken Tortilla Roll.
I do like El Pollo Loco, but most recent experiences have been disappointing. It’s been reported in a previous post, so now I’ll just focus on their New Grilled Chicken Tortilla Roll — I tried it and mine didn’t look like the one in the commercial, which has perfectly squared pieces of white meat.
Unfortunately, the one served to me had mostly dark meat. I do like dark meat, but EPL’s advertisement shows different. And I’m not sure how it happened, but I even had to pick out a few weird pieces. I guess I got a dud. 🙁
Aside from that, it should be called a Rolled Quesadilla instead of a Tortilla Roll, since its crispness may be the same. It’s served with a choice of 3 previously existing Sauces. I got the Cheese Sauce and it’s not bad. I don’t think I’ll be having the Tortilla Roll again, but I still love EPL’s Chicken.
One more thing — Are the ‘Loco Salads’ smaller? It looks smaller, I think. Since it’s only $1.00, I’ll let it slide. I’m curious because too many things are getting smaller.
NOTE: This post relates to the El Pollo Loco Restaurant in Costa Mesa on Harbor/19th.

I have also tried the new Grilled Chicken Tortilla Roll and was very disappointed.
