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

    Massive burritos, they tasted fantastic. A bit heavy on the rice and light on the meat but we were just looking for something filling at that point. The hot sauce was awesome.

    I really enjoyed my visit to El Pollo Loco. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the sides were tasty as well. The portions were generous for the price, which made the meal feel like great value. The only thing that could have been better was the service. While the staff were polite, it felt a bit slow and unorganized at times. Nothing major, but it’s an area that could be improved to match the quality of the food. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back. The flavors alone make it worth it, and with a little improvement in service, this place would be perfect.
