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 Harbor 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.

- JGJesse E. GatdulaJul 24, 20254.0FRESH CHICKEN, FRIENDLY STAFF
- SMsean meansJul 6, 20254.0Food is always good here, been coming here for years I just wish the foster freeze partnership would come back.
- TLTerri Alexander (Terri Lee)Jul 1, 20251.0I picked up a mobile order for my son which made him sick. The chicken was no good, not even the dog would go near it! Cant complain about service or atmosphere since I drove through it, but since Im.still trying to wash the smell of that chicken off my fingertips so I dont gag.....pretty sure someone there knows that chicken was going bad.....cooked and sold it anyway! My son paid $24:89 for a stomache, diarrhea and vomiting. Unfortunately, he cant smell or he wouldnt have eaten any of it! Hit in the face with a bat and robbed in his youth......
- DGDenise GuidryJun 23, 20255.0Quick fast service
- LLLeeJun 16, 20255.0This El Pollo Loco site is the best, most specially the guacamole, have tried all the other El Pollo Loco site, but this particular one is the best, we always get our chicken here. Mr Razipour (the owner?)please give a raise to the guy or lady that prepares your guacamole there, he/she is doing an excellent job. Please don’t change the way your guacamole is being prepared,it’s so chunky, the best in the west of USA love it. So sorry I’m talking bout the El Pollo Loco in PCH Torrance, by the Torrance airport, my mistake.
