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 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.

    El Pollo Loco started in Mexico, crazy huh? I suggest you try the chicken, pinto beans, rice, and flour tortillas. It tastes like a plate you get at a Mexican bbq. I ordered the 4pc half chicken meal combo meal. It had 4 pcs of chicken, small rice, small pinto beans, 4 flour tortillas, and a regular drink. Also, i bought one churro and got a minute-maid mango lime aguas fresca as my drink. I loved the beans it tasted Mexican and how my mom makes them. Also, the rice was cooked well and had a good taste. I enjoyed the chicken, it was good. The churro wasn't bad either.
