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 Lompoc, CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
We ordered a $30 family meal and they had the bag stapled close. No salsa was included! Why should you have to ask for that? It totally killed the vibe and very disappointed!

Normally, I get the pollo bowl which is healthy, filling, and inexpensive. Our store only has a walk up and a drive-thru so I don't know what I can say about the atmosphere. They do have outside seating but as this city is pretty cool and windy, I normally just go through the drive-thru. The employees are always very polite and accommodating.
