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 Indio, CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Chicken was overcooked and dry. Self service ordering was confusing and off-putting. 👎

Went to buy some Crunchy chicken tacos they said they were out. Had to drive to the location off of Highway 111 To get some.

The girl at the drive thru is very absent minded. I repeated what I had ordered three times when she took my order through the speaker. When she gave me the total without specifying my order, I noticed the price was lower than usual, so I asked if she had added the guacamole I requested, and she added it after I told her for the fourth time. At the window, when I paid, I checked my receipt and noticed the soda I had ordered was not on it. I told the girl that she hadn’t charged me for the soda I asked for. I ordered it with no ice, paid for it, and she gave it to me with ice. Terrible service. I will not be returning to this location.
