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.

    It's a shame I order the same thing from this location and another one on Crenshaw, and both locations can't get the order right. Did Uber eats for both locations, ordered the family meal that supposed to include 4 churros. Both times, both locations did not put the churros in the bag. Is it really that hard to get an order right!? The items are on the fricken receipt!! Such a shame and disappointment to pay all that money and not get a complete order
