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.

    Go somewhere else there are definitely better options. The salsas (especially the green one) are super watered down( literally), and the customer service is consistently poor. The food is just okay, but most of the time it arrives cold. Overall, not worth

    I still remember the first El Pollo Loco I went to over forty years ago. It was the original store in midtown Los Angeles on Alvarado Street.. it was basically a hole in the wall with real waitresses. Of course the place was always crowded, so we took our food to go. Funny thing is it always felt like a pleasant surprise when you got home, because every order was Taylored by you for you.No charge for extra green sauce or pico de gallo. Pancho would come out in the small eating area and mix with his customers. Hek knew us regular by name or sight. A lot of people from the art community were loyal customers, like Ed Corillo, Leslie Biller, Louie Lunetta, Gary Williams (myself) and others. The food was exceptional then. Those herbs and spice were on point, and yes, the small containers òf avocado sauce, pico de gallo, and cilantro and radishes were AYCE, and free. Sigh, still pinning for the good old days. The pinto beans were delicious. Much more tasty than the bland, tasteless beans they serve now. Oh well, I've said my piece. Thanks for allowing me to. VIVA EL POLLO LOCO!!!

    Today I ordered food at that place and the experience was terrible! Everything was very dirty. The bathroom very dirty, the floor in the dining area had a puddle of water that everyone was stepping on as they came in. One of the chairs had a hole in the middle where you supuse to seat and on some tables, the people who had eaten left their trash, and not a single employee bothered to clean it up. I will never go back to that place again.

    Fantastic customer service tonight. I placed a late-night online order and the staff was attentive and efficient. Everything was fresh, hot, and perfectly accurate. They had my order ready right on time and packed with care. Grateful to have found a location I can count on from now on.
