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 has some really good offers and the food is tasty and satisfying. I appreciate the value and the quality of the meals. However, the customer service felt just fair. Even though it was only 4 in the afternoon, the staff seemed tired and a bit unwilling to serve, which made the experience less enjoyable. With such good food and deals, I hope the service can match the same level of energy and friendliness.

    Probably the best Pollo Loco in the area. The staff are mostly señoras who take pride in the food not just rushing through it. It really shows in the quality of the chicken and gives home cooked vibes.
