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.

    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.

    Pollo Loco is delicious, the beans never taste authentic or fresh, but everything else is pretty good. The prices are insane. Way more expensive than other fast food chains. The food seems higher quality and less preservatives tho. So it’s a hit or miss.
