Ordered Pollo loco taco and 2 chefs bowl. Tacos have zero spice, contrary to the description. I had to use Sriracha to add spice and flavor to it. Minimal almost absent flavor for a Latin spot. Was about to dive into the bowl next, scooping it into a smaller bowl to eat the rest later. Only to find not 1 single plantain, 1 half piece of potato, and oh, where's the protein? Maybe it's hiding under the bowl? No. 3 strings of 'brisket'. Same with the second bowl. I have attached pictures to show both. Just disappointing. Will be contacting Uber eats.
