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

    Ordered food TO GO. Was given it to eat THERE. Especially disappointing cuz cashier gave me a LOOK as if I'd made the mistake. Food was OK. Chicken pcs are soooooo SMALL. Temperature med warm. Salsa, both green & red tomato are STILL delicious. Glad used a coupon. MAY go back cuz is so close to residence.

    La comida tenía mucha verdura caducada parece que sus empleados no tienen unos segundos para ver qué no vaya eso y da coraje por qué no tienen respeto a su trabajo y vender calidad como la cobran

    This is a typical fast food restaurant, nothing more, nothing less. Food was quite good--we got the family meal and all 5 of us enjoyed it.

    If it says you are open until 10pm then why is your staff member not letting me in telling me that they’re closed at 9:15? Waste of gas
