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 Los Angeles, CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Customers generally enjoyed the food, noting it was flavorful and well-cooked, though some mentioned inconsistencies in taste and portion sizes.

I am glad this place reopened for business. They were closed for a while because the property was scheduled for redevelopment. El Pollo Food is always good, and I love the chicken. I had the Toscana which was excellent.

Garbage. Dirty. Workers are very rude.
If I could give less than one star, for sure I would. Whoever hired that dude Omar, should have their head examined. He's lucky. Well just leave it at that. Nuff said. Better places by far. Don't waste your time, money, not effort going there. If I'm not wearing my beanie, I get the pinchie gavacho treatment. Little do they know. Especially paying with an EBT card.
