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.

    I had a bad experience with a short lady by the name of Jocelyn Acosta,supposedly she is an assitant manager. She was talking down to me and mocking me for making a mistake on my order. I wasn't even blaming her, I was chill, but she pissed me off. I told her 3 times I was gonna cancel the order and reorder again. She asked me the same question 3 times, until I got upset and told her to stop asking me the same question, over and over again. She said "I'm not the one that made a mistake in the order", and she laughed in my face. I told her I wasn't upset or blaming her for the mistake. I knew it was my fault and I was just upset because, how many times do I have to tell her that I want to cancel the order for her to listen. I finally got my new order. When my family and I were eating our burritos, my family asked if I got vegetarian burritos. We noticed that we only had 2 small pieces of chicken. I will definitely not be going back to this Pollo Loco. I complained to corporate and the district manager Bryant Corona spoke with me and he said he would address the issue. I got my refund for my order.
