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.

    Had to order on a kiosk. The security helped me with submitting my order which made it ordering easier.

    Worst pollo loco I paid for a double chicken avocado salad and they got the order wrong I asked how much time would this one take would take they did not answer they didnt even write down that I asked for chips and also messed up someone else's order also when I asked for a refund they said the money will come through in 3 days and never came it made me scan and it said I received my refund but yet within those 3 days I never got my money back this is the 4th day they nearly made me miss my bus amd never got my food and they fixed the order that cane after me besides fixing my order first the workers are very terrible and bad at communication and try to blame the customers instead they didn't try to blame me they did someone else . I like going for a salad but honestly this angers me and still not receiving my refund they stole from me . This pollo loco will rob you
