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 Chino Hills, CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Customers generally praised the food for being delicious and fresh, though there were complaints about portion sizes and dry chicken.

This is my favorite El Pollo Loco - it's got the best employees and food though the green salsa can be extra spicy at times and it's always too cold inside- I drive over to this location even though there's literally one around the corner from my house (it's not good at all- terrible customer service & always gets my order wrong)
