El Pollo Fantastico


Me- "El Pollo Loco is my favorite fast food place here in LA. It's like a Mcdonald's but they serve mexican food."

Shane- "So... it's like a Taco Bell?"

Me- "I guess I could have said that right away, yeah."




On my way to this shitter at El Pollo Loco tonight, I nearly screamed and started crying when I saw this horribly scary looking doll, casually sitting in a high chair waiting for his Ultimate Grilled Burrito. I didn't care that the doll belonged to the young girl of the Hispanic family sitting mere feet away

I tried to acted covert about it, but the family completely noticed me taking this picture, about two feet away from where they ate. I made eye contact with the mom and we both started laughing.

It didn't matter that she didn't speak English and I didn't speak Mexican. She had absolutely no idea why I was taking a picture of her daughter's doll and found the possibilities hilarious. So I leaned in and whispered, "This thing is scary as shit," and went off on my way.
