El Pollo Loco in Wijk 03 Heiloo-Midden

It's a complete and wonderful evening out. With such a great atmosphere and dedication that it will make you happy!

It's a truly delicious and well-run restaurant, with just one chef and one lady running everything. The service is excellent, and it's also nice that it's quiet. The food is fantastic, truly plentiful, and perfect for an Indian diner. Highly recommended!

Nice place, great atmosphere, delicious coffee.

I drove all the way from Krommenie specifically to this place for the ice cream. I checked the opening hours before leaving. 9:00 PM. Great. I arrived at 8:00 PM. I wanted coffee, because if you advertise coffee and ice cream, and the ice cream is so good, I can assume the coffee is good too. The machine had just been cleaned, so there was no coffee in it. And I find that odd. Ten minutes before closing? Fine. I get that. Cleaning everything an hour before closing? I find that odd and unfriendly. And then three teenagers come up with excuses that that's how it works in the hospitality industry, and that some inn down the road still serves coffee. I guess the message didn't get through. I'm here for your coffee. "Usually no one comes in the last hour," was the answer. Then a group of six comes in, and after that two more couples. A lame excuse, from an unfriendly employee. What a disappointment. After my ice cream, I left a crowded restaurant without saying a word, and the staff stared at me as if I was the rude one. The bottom line is, if I'm in the area, it's fine, but I'm not going to make the detour again. Google said it was "busier than usual." I'd made coffee for my customer, then back to cleaning. Imagine having to wait an extra 5 minutes.

On Saturday, December 6th, I came here for the first time because I wanted to see a band. The moment I opened the door, I was greeted by a great atmosphere! It feels like a warm bath where you immediately feel at home. The owner, Marcel, quickly struck up a conversation with me, and the other (regular) guests were also very friendly and didn't bat an eye at a new face. If the opportunity arises, I will definitely come back!
