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.

The food was great. The kiosk that you use could be better. The girl in front of me should've received assistance much sooner because she didn't know what she was doing.

I have to admit, my previous experience at this location was not very pleasant, but this time was completely different, I placed my order for pickup and in less than 8 minutes it was ready. Super clean facilities and friendly staff, I would like to highlight Anthony, who with such a friendly attitude handed the food for me, making sure my order was correct.
