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 Fontana,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 wanted a fresh, hot and tasty like most Pollo Loco locations. I figured a quesadilla would be good. I was wrong. The drive thru was busy. so going inside, the restaurant was so cold, no way to sit there. With over 5 people working, only order with a kiosk, no personal service here. About 15 minutes later, the food was handed to me without napkins or salsa available. By the time I got to the car my door was cold. I ate it, hungry. Disappointed yes. Will I go back? Dought for sure.

    I’m beyond pissed. I ordered FOUR Double Chicken Bowls from El Pollo Loco and they only sent me THREE. How hard is it to get a simple order right? I paid full price and didn’t get what I ordered. Absolute trash service. If you can’t handle basic orders, don’t bother taking people’s money. Never again.
