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

    Both highchairs safety straps are broken and the chairs are very dirty. I ordered a taco and the chicken was old. I came in at 11:30 AM, there is no reason to be serving old, hard chicken around lunch time.

    It was all right. Overpriced, and they gave me flour tortillas rather than the corn I asked for, plus the broccoli needed some seasoning! Chicken & potatoes were great though the pieces were small for what they charge. Salsa was fresh, spicy too. Not sure if I'll ever return (it was my first time giving them a try after living in the area for over a year).
