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 don’t know what to even rate it honestly. When I arrived home I come to find ONE single napkin in my bag, my bag of chips HALF empty…. What’s with the stinginess of food that I AM paying for ?!? GEEZ. The single napkin was just like a what the moment, idk if it’s because I’m in the clouds or what but it was hilarious ! Please include more napkins and sauces and condiments 🤣🤣🤣 I mean besides that, the burrito was mid to be honest. There was no “guac sauce” in the burrito or whatever the guy said. Sad they got rid of the chicken avocado burrito

    The quality of service requires significant improvement, particularly concerning the new self-service ordering tablets. Staff members observed customers experiencing difficulties with these devices but did not offer assistance. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the dining area is unsatisfactory. Consequently, I will not be returning to this establishment in the near future.
