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,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 ordered a 16 piece meal mixed, and it was $50 and when I drove up to the drive-through to pay, it’s 10% off for seniors, and on my receipt it only said a dollar so I asked her the cashier why only dollar and she said that’s what the cash register told me to give you. So I called them up when I got home and I spoke with the most rudest person that answered the phone and I told her that I bought that mail for $50 and a senior discount for 10% and it only gave me one dollar and she told me the same thing if that’s what the register gave you I said yes but 10% of $50 is five so I should’ve got five dollars off Money is hard to come by and then she hung up on me so rude

Convenient location, friendly employees, good food. This location was busy, but still the employees should be checking on the dining room for cleaning. This seemed to be a corporate location because the prices were not as high as other El Pollo Loco franchise locations.

Los complementos muy bien, pero el pollo muy seco y sin sabor ...
