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.

    Gift card/receipt fraud: The employees here are uneducated when it comes to gift cards. They said they don't check balances in store and directed me to the # on back of card. So I asked for the receipt of my food transaction and they said, "we don't give receipts out when you pay with gift cards." When I asked why, she said she doesn't know. They DO give receipts out when you pay with gift card, it's a transaction... So that makes no sense. I do expect management to further train and educate their staff on proper customer service.

    No greeting at all or any signs of getting help. Been standing here patiently waiting. Associates just pass by and look at you. Nobody in line. Been here for about 10 mins standing. If you come here be prepared to wait and don't get service by anyone. If associates are like this. This just represents pollo locos management team. Good job. Won't be coming here again. 0 stars. Do better. Check your order. They'll forget items.
