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.

    The chubby white skin girl that works the drive is so rude no greet at all and then leaves you to wait til she feels like saying anything after 5 mins I always go for pick up mobile order and if it's her then I'm sure to be short on something. Tonight i was short chips and chipotle sauce that I paid with my own money and she only gave me 2 sauce avocado and no utensils. Why is she still working there if shes always like this l.
