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 Covina, 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 am a long customer of El Pollo Loco! I visit these restaurants several times a month around Los Angeles. But, I have to complain about the customer service is received on this particular El Pollo Loco, I usually use my app to order ahead, however, I eat inside. I informed "Aldren or Aldrin" that it was going to be for eating here! With a miserable look on his face he went ahead and began preparing my order on a tray. I felt no joy looking at this man's face. As a person who works in the hospitality industry I know how important it is to put a smile on your face in order to make customers or clients feel at ease or comfortable. He wasn't much of a charmer. When I requested my drink, he gave me a look as if I was asking him to give it to me for free! Checked the receipt too, as if I was lying! I had also requested 6 avocado sauces on the app, which he only decided to give me three, i hadn't noticed! I asked for serranos, he still stared at me as if it was a bothersome request! After I sat for my lunch I returned for the rest of my avocado sauces and he looked bothered again! I mean, I almost lost my appetite! Just as a friendly advise, send your managers and front desk people to "Charm School" it makes a difference when you smile doing your job. "And Aldrin or Aldren get a different career if you don't like what you do" the customer isn't at fault of your misery!

    Stopped by El Pollo Loco on a whim, and I’ve got to admit… they came through. The tacos were fire — crisp shells, plenty of filling, and actually seasoned right (rare for fast food). There was a tiny hiccup with my order, but the staff handled it smoothly without any drama, which honestly says a lot. I walked away with what I wanted, plus a reminder that some places still know how to keep customers happy without making it a production. Solid experience overall. Food hit, service chill. I’ll be back.
