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.

    Cashier refuse to take my order and forced me to use kiosk. The customer should have the option whether they want to use the kiosk or not.There was a line, and that was the only option.

    They have cashiers cutting chicken, zero training. I went through drive thru, I had not ate all day, was really hungry from being busy, stopped by around 2:30pm and was craving a three piece meal. I ordered a Leg and thigh meal however, the thighs they gave me were extremely disrespectful and it ruined my day. Two tiny thighs cut wrong, the size was extremely small for the prices that they have now. A lot of us have long days and a lot going on, we don’t have time to cook, and we give our business to restaurants for them not to take their jobs seriously and with honor. I was extremely disappointed, it really was a mood changer for the day. Please do better, people pay for this , it isn’t free.
