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

    After multiple visits 6 out of 10 times when i order the 8 pcs chicken only. They give me day old chicken left over from the day before. Avoid this place and the one on Harbor blvd as well. This place being the worst! If you want fresh chicken go to the one on ball rd / Euclid.

    So I go in and all they have are those PESKY kiosks --- so I use them and then when I go to pay --- with the cash insertion machine right in front of me, there is 🚫 prompt to pay in CASH! I tell the worker and she goes, oh yeah you can't use cash on that one . . . so five (5) minutes of my like, I won't ever get back! I then tell her to just print the ticket of my order, but no she has to ask me all the questions that the DARN kiosk did! 🤬 Then when I ask for an extra Creamy Cilantro, she tells me it costs EXTRA! 🤯 So I pay 10+ bucks for my meal and I CAN'T even get an extra sauce! And I 🤎 the chicken tostada but in has shrunk drastically over the years --- the tortilla bowl got shorter and now they don't even fill it up to the top. All it is filled with is rice, beans lettuce, a small dollop of sour creme and (get this) six (6) pieces of chicken for over 10 dollars! Not worth it. At least fill it to the top with a good heaping of lettuce, please! 🙏🏼 Cue the photo now . . .

    I had a very disappointing experience. There were about six employees and the manager working, the restaurant was completely empty, and yet my order was still made incorrectly. With that many staff and no rush, I expected much better attention to detail. It’s frustrating to receive the wrong order under those circumstances, and it really reflects a lack of care and organization. I hope they improve their service and accuracy.
