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 Canoga 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.

    Arrived after take-out time. All staff was busy so I said I was just picking up a take-out order. Asked 3-4 times. Each time was told just a minute. Waited 10 minutes to get help. My take-out order had been sitting on the counter for 10 minutes. No one took the 30 seconds necessary to ask my name and give me my now cold food!! Awful customer service…and the chicken was dry! Won’t be back.

    All online sources list this location's hours as being open until 11PM. My friend drove over to get some take out while we worked late, arriving at the location at approximately 10:25, but well before 11. There was an employee (looked possibly like an assistant supervisor or shift leader) standing outside the main entrance to the dining room conversing with someone he seemed to know personally. When my friend attempted to enter the location the employee blocked his path and bluntly stated, "No, we're closed." My friend sought clarification given the location hours listed, but the employee just ignored him and pulled the door closed, shutting it right in his face. EXTREMELY UNNECESSARY RUDENESS! It should not be too much to expect the business hours to be listed correctly!
