If this is true, it would be a wonderful addition to Folsom-  I love their food and I rarely eat fast food.

I drool over their advertisements in the  weekly ads, but never get over to Sunrise to get it...

They seem to have a lot more offerings since I was last at one in San Jose in 1997...  hope it is still as good :) ...


Another great  day in the adventure of exploration and sight.

That would be great! El Pollo loco is very good from what I remember. Much better then that fried crap from KFC.

So is this true or not?  I saw the signs were down, but I thought maybe they were just remodeling.

I've never eaten at El Pollo Loco.  What's so great about it?

It's grilled (not fried) with a great marinade and is always fresh.  They have "better for you" food options then KFC offered.

Thanks.  Do they have better sides?  I've seen the commercials and it still looks just like fast food to me.

Yes, more veggie options: http://www.elpollolo.../category/sides

 

It's still fast food, but it is good.

It's Mexican grilled chicken and mostly Mexican sides, having several types of bean, along with salsas and salads.

 

My in-laws love it so much that they cater nearly every family gathering with it.

There will be some negative impacts on food related businesses nearby such as Adanberto's (80%), Jimboy's (80%), Taco Bell (80%), El Rincon (80%), La Fiesta Taqueria (25%), Del Taco (25%), McDonald's on E Bidwell & Wales (25%), La Rosa Blanca (25%), KFC on Iron Point (10%).

Interesting. Are you saying that business will be down at Adanberto's by 80%? Where are coming up with those numbers? I'm not saying they are wrong. I'm just curious.

 

I figured that Adanberto's would get hurt when Sutter Street Taqueria opens, which should be soon. Much of the party crowd hits Addy's as they call it after a night of debauchery on Sutter.

I just saw the "We lost our lease" sign this afternoon, too, Homer.  I didn't notice it before.

 

I have to say the salads do look more tasty than coleslaw.

What about Kabob House that is 50 ft away from this location?

OH.MY.GOD.

How pathetic is it that I am SO EXCITED that EPL is coming to Folsom!!!! 

Best.Freaking.Chicken.......as far as fast food goes, far more healthy than other chains.

I have been trying to replicate their marinade and have not been able to-so continue to shlep out to Sunrise. Honestly only fast food chain I go to- and always order the 1/2 chicken !

Welcome back Spicy :)

 

As we've asked in previous threads, would you care to provide some reasoning to back up those numbers :)
