About

Mexican RestaurantCatererChicken RestaurantFast Food Restaurant
While some things have changed over the last few decades, El Pollo Loco's delivery of fresh, authentic food has not. Everything starts with whole chickens that are slowly marinated in a special recipe of herbs, spices, fruit juices and garlic. The chicken is then expertly fire-grilled to perfection the authentic way - on our signature open-flame grills - then hand cut into your favorite Mexican entrees. We put that same dedication and care into our handmade guacamole, salsas and dressings every day. At El Pollo Loco in Agoura Hills,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.

    On November 4th around 7:00 PM, I stopped by the El Pollo Loco in Agoura Hills to pick up some grilled chicken. I usually go through the drive-thru since I order family meals to take home, but this time I decided to go inside and I’m glad I did! It gave me the opportunity to meet some of the best employees any business could hope to have. Right away, I noticed a young lady named Audrey at the front counter. She was moving quickly and efficiently, helping both in-store and online customers with a great attitude. Even though she was busy, she took a moment to acknowledge me with a friendly “I’ll be right with you,” which made a great first impression. When it was my turn, she kindly guided me through placing my order on the large self-order screen and made sure everything was correct. While waiting, I observed how well the entire team worked together. Everyone was focused, fast, and clearly took pride in what they were doing. Because I had a small customization to my order, the Grill Chef personally came to the counter to double-check it, ensuring everything was just right. That level of attention and teamwork really stood out to me. I wanted to take a moment to recognize this outstanding crew and their excellent service. I hope this message reaches the El Pollo Loco leadership team and CEO, because this location truly represents your brand at its best. Great job, Agoura Hills team! Sincerely, Max

    Soggy brown lettuce, no pollo, barely any rice or beans and they didn't seem to care. Maybe it was a bad day here, but should have hit McDonalds instead!

    Employees are absolutely clueless and management if appalling. Trying to order something at the kiosks takes a minimum of 20 minutes and they are never correct and don’t read coupon QR codes. Then the manager makes you feel like you are a fool and doing it all wrong until she tries and has the same problems!! It’s just not worth the time and effort to go to Pollo Loco any more. It’s a shame because the food is not bad. It’s just the ordering kiosks and the management that is terrible. I’ve been a very long time customer but today was the final straw. No more. Burger King, Taco Bell, and McDonalds and Jack in the Box are all right next to it so go elsewhere. What a shame, this management has driven this place into the ground.
