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

    Just spent over $300 on a catered order for our annual Christmas lunch. Again, the food and service were fantastic. Also, no price increase over last year’s order, which was a good thing! Very happy!!

    2 days ago I ordered the Mac n cheese and queso dip. Little did I know I was going to experience the worst food poisoning I ever experienced. Symptoms started 15 minutes after eating those items. Please be careful, restaurant needs to follow safety measures. Luckily it was me and not my kids.

    The service was completely unacceptable. All employees appeared stressed, and there was chaos in the kitchen with yelling and confusion. The cashier likely gave my order to the wrong customer because I waited over half an hour for my food. When I asked the cashier about the delay and why my order was skipped, he rudely asked if I wanted a refund. I told him no; I just wanted my order. The manager then stepped in, apologized for his staff's poor behavior, and took responsibility for correcting the mistake. Employees definitely need proper training on handling such situations. While I understand that problems can occur, staff should be trained to treat customers with respect. The employee's rudeness was unacceptable, but the manager's attitude was commendable—they clearly handle these issues daily. Despite the poor service, the food was excellent.
