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 Buena Park,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.

    Hola no me gusto,pedi un combo de 8 piezas para llevar piernas y muslos ,y me dieron la mitad de piernas y muslos y el resto unas piezas de pechuga vieja. No se si fue por que llevaba un bono, me parece muy mal hecho eso ,ya que nunca pedí pechuga y fuera de eso vieja, y si es por lo que lleve el bono entonces no debieran darlos.

    The food was very delicious, but we are noticing that the chicken pieces are getting smaller.

    Food was good, but the past two times we have gone they go the orders wrong, it told us that they didn't have something on there menu, when it was in there online one. I have also gotten a bone in my shredded chicken nachos. Lady did pay attention to what we ordered and skimmed over it. But if you get the correct order the food is great.

    I always order the original bowl with no chicken and they always ask me if I want avocado instead.
