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

    I got a chicken bowl and if had bits of broccoli in it even though it’s not supposed to come with it, so it could’ve been made a little better. Other than that, it tasted great. Daisy could be a little normal on the other hand, working a customer service job with no hospitality? Like I’m not even asking for the whole upbeat personality, but being normal is all it takes. She seriously needs to have an attitude check hecausd this isn’t the first time I’ve felt so unwelcome by her for ordering food at a food place.

    Drive through was taking very long .. even when you reach the menu the speaker says "please let me know when your ready" I say ready and nothing but silence for about a min. I order the queso blanco guacamole burrito. I pull up to the window the guy working the window doesn't greet me nor make sure what my order is he just looks and says 10.96$ no hi how are you or anything .. he gives me my card and receipt then hands me a bag . I get back to my office just find a very small burrito I slightly open it . It's nothing but beans and rice .. now I'm irritated I only get 30min for lunch and now I have to drive back because for almost 11$ a bean and rice burrito a fraction of the size of what I should of received is completely not acceptable. I drive back walk in a lady asked if she can help me . I said yes this is not what I ordered and had to drive back here to you guys .. then she tells another lady about the order they made me another one .. at this point a sincere apology. Would have been great and to offer maybe a side of chips or anything to correct. The mistake that they have done would have been nice but nothing was offered just my original burrito that I ordered and now that I didn't have time to sit down for lunch to eat. Very disappointing..
