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

    Yesterday, Feb 27th between 7-7:30pm My mother went to pick up an order of 8pc chicken, mashed potato’s, & macaroni n cheese. When she got home, both my stepdad and mom ate.They began to feel & go through each symptom of food poisoning. She then went back to the chicken noticed the texture different (old looking/slimy). Disappointed.

    I USUALLY ALWAYS COME TO THIS EL POLLO LOCO AND I ALWAYSSSS COMMEND THEM FOR THEIR EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. … well today that wasn’t the case ….. I came in through the dt around 12:55ish and ordered a bowl… the lady proceeds to ask me if I want to compliment my food with guacamole; which I replied “sure” .. but when I got to the window I realized I didn’t have my debit card only enough cash to pay for what I originally ordered . I told her to take off the guac because I do not have enough .. she slams the window in my face as if that pissed her off … she then proceeds to give me my drink and I asked at the speaker “no Ice pls “ when I get my drink there’s ice in it .. was I mad?! No not really because it’s a simple mistake that could’ve been fixed in less than 20sec . She snatches the drink back as if she had an attitude.. I’m sorry that you have you work at El Pollo Loco BRENDA ….. if you want a higher paying job or a career for that matter…, try checking yourself into a trade or college … have a better day pls don’t take your frustrations out on the customer , we’re the reason you’re able to get that lil check you get !!!
