A customer at an El Pollo Loco drive-thru was left shocked at the price increases during a trip to the fast-food chain, according to a video posted on social media. 

TikTok user Josie (@josieherrera65) filmed the menu at an El Pollo Loco drive-thru, as well as her reaction.

"I remember when a 12-piece Family Meal was $12.99. Now, it’s $43.99," Herrera said in the video. "I was okay when it was $23.99, $28.99, but $43.99? "That is crazy."

The meal includes 12 pieces of chicken, three large sides, tortillas, and chips and salsa. Meal prices often vary at fast-food restaurants depending on the location. The video posted by Herrera was accompanied by the caption: "I did not buy. I went home and made dinner. I was not going to be ripped off."

Some users echoed Herrera's shock, saying fast-food prices have steadily increased everywhere. 

"We were in the KFC drive thru and quickly moved on. One meal was over $50," one person said.

Like many fast-food chains, El Pollo Loco has increased prices to combat inflation. In California, price increases also came in anticipation of the minimum wage hike that went into effect in April. Many fast-food workers across the state now start out at $20 per hour. 

Despite the wage hike, the fast-food industry in California added 10,000 jobs from March through May, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

Restaurants such as McDonald's, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Chipotle and Burger King have all raised menu prices to offset the labor costs. Grocery prices have also trended upward.
