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

    this El Pollo Loco was good. Ordered some BRC burritos. They were nice and warm when I got them and stayed that way for a while, they wrapped them in foil, which is good. They have the hottest hot salsa compared to any other fast food place. I’ve been to.

    One of the best chicken, very juicy and perfect to the taste. I have tried other locations, and it's dry most of the time. The only thing now is very little interaction with employees because of the self-service ordering. I need human interaction.

    I scheduled an order online for 12:15pm pickup. I got there and stood among 7 other people waiting for their order. My meal was not ready until 12:28pm. Not good if you only have a 30 minute lunch break.
