Pollos Maria

Went here because it appeared to be a good place to eat and wanted to try something different than el pollo loco. I am not sure how it gets its good reviews here because I ordered the half chicken special. Everything was on the bland side. Especially the chicken and red salsa. Service was average and so was atmosphere. Anyway I’m sticking with el pollo loco.

Food prepared lacking love and care, no flavor no quality no good. Shame it's a lovely location.

We come here whenever we're in Carlsbad, CA. Breakfast or lunch/dinner, the food is great. From chorizo and eggs to the delicious roasted chicken, 5-stars!

So bummed this place is closing. I'll miss the Carne asada burritos

Wow! What a delicious place. I don't know what I was expecting, but it exceeded all of my expectations. The chicken burrito reminded me of homemade burritos my mom would make when I was growing up. So glad I decided to try this place out. I will be visiting more frequently.

I honestly was really hoping to have an experience like I do when I visit the Inland Empire and have Juan Pollo. I was extremely sad and disappointed. Place was empty when I was there. Cashier was polite and gave good register service. The issue I had was with the food. Although cooked well, and saw it on the grill, which looked great, the chicken had 0 flavor and was extremely bland. Definitely needed some salt and seasoning. The rice was the best part of the meal and had great flavor. The beans were so/so as well, and lacked flavor. I really wanted to like this place, as I am all about supporting local business over Corporate companies any day, however, El Pollo Loco is superior in flavor, and more satisfying....

Been here forever. Always good. Plenty of vegetarian options too.

Fun place. Just a small restaurant seating in and outside. Friendly staff and quick service. Parking: Big lot next door Wheelchair accessibility: Accessibility is good for wheelchair and walkers.

Good food, reasonable prices and a good dining experience on their patio.
