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

    El lugar huele a Basura, me costó mucho mantener la respiración, sirven muy poca comida y la comida te la sirven fría

    I love the Tostadas especially the double meat. Plus I got hooked on their hard tacos 🌮 too. So when you say Taco Tuesday, I say El Pollo Loco.
