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

    Food was good but something I've NEVER seen at an El Pollo Loco. They "ran out" of breast meat. Paid extra for the 3 breast meal and when the food was served, they gave the smallest wing and said they had no more breasts and it would take at least 40 minutes to make new ones. Based on what happened next I would have to assume it's due to horrible leadership. As a manager, how do you see you're running low on an item and not get the staff to cook more? After we were given the wing instead of what we ordered, we asked to speak to the manager and we're told that we would have to wait since she was cooking. After about 5 minutes of waiting, I asked for her again and it turned out that she had gone on her lunch break when she finished the cooking when she knew there were customers asking for her. She instructed one of the cashiers to figure out the price difference and give it back as cash instead of dealing with the customers herself. After a conversation with the cashier, Adan, I found out the name of the "manager" (Conchis) obviously not her actual name but that's what the cashier said. If you just want take out it might bebé fine to go to this location but I'd check that they gave the correct food before leaving. As for the "manager" she obviously doesn't care to deal with customers so GOOD LUCK if you're order is wrong. To the owner; you may want to educate your leadership in actual customer service

    Arrived there at 9:55. Sat at the drive-through and no one responded. Pulled up to the window and see they were cleaning and laughing. It says they close at 10:30 online and on their website. If anybody knows how irritating it is to leave your cold house in your pajamas to go pick up only to see they are closed then I’m sure you understand.
