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

    Sometimes it's a little busy, but the chicken is always consistent. The order has always been correct. Friendly workers at the drive thru

    The chicken was dry and they gave me flour tortillas instead of corn. They always give wrong tortillas. 😞

    Two times in a row this location has sent the delivery person to my home with another customers order. I also blame the Uber delivery driver as well, but the restaurant should make sure the food they give the driver is correct. The first time this happened I had to drive to the restaurant later that evening to pickup my food. The second time this happened a week later I was charged for food, but never received it. To top it off Uber eats would not refund my money. Very poor customer service from El Pollo Loco, and Uber eats has turned out to be stealing from their customers.
