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 food is not that great, the burrito was halfway full, and the pico salsa not fresh. Better to spend your money somewhere else.

    The employees are not nice and are inexperienced, I always order the same food and the double chicken bowl by itself and sometimes they charge me $12 and sometimes they charge me $20 for the exact same order, you guys have to make sure the employees are not taking the money for themselves and also today in the double chicken bowl there was hardly any chicken after paying $18, worst service, never coming back ever.
