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

    The food was really bad. We have tried this food few times before. This was the worst. Chickens were smelly and salad had no taste and rice was awful. I don’t recommend this place. We made a mistake.

    Bro, I always appreciate service. It makes me happy that in LA there are still many places where I can find real service. El Pollo Loco on Vine and Fountain Ave. Is lucky to have an employee like Oscar L. Today, I came to get a quesadilla and a soda and I could see what a great attitude, enthusiasm and passion he has for his job. He was at the cash register greeting people loud and thanking they for having eaten at the restaurant. It’s amazing to know there are still great employees who love people in LA.

    Leider das schlechteste Hühnchen was ich seid langem hatte. Nur lauwarm und so trocken als ob es 24h im Airfryer lag 🫤 Leider auch ohne besondere Würzung. Alle Saucen dazu waren einfach nur scharf und auch sehr wässrig dünn. Die Tostada war sehr ähnlich und lieblos. El Pollo Team, setzt Euch doch mal hin und probiert Eure Produkte selber mal. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Unfortunately, the worst chicken I've had in a long time. Only lukewarm and so dry, it looked like it had been in the air fryer for 24 hours 🫤 Unfortunately, there was no special seasoning either. All the sauces that came with it were simply spicy and very watery and thin. The tostada was very similar and lacking in flavor. El Pollo team, please sit down and try your products for yourself. 🤷🏼‍♂️
