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 Anaheim 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.

    Store manager terrible at this location. My wife ordered 3 chicken breast and when she got to the window he told her there were no breast. He then proceeded to give her the wrong money back cause he can't add. He also was sneezing and wiping his nose with his bare hands and touching grill. Hopefully he gets fired. Contacting corporate tommorrow regarding this.

    Great service, friendly and engaging. However, even though food ingredients were delicious, the main ingredient, the chicken was burned black on several parts of the chicken. The restrooms were not working but manager was nice making it up to us. Thank you!
