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 Montclair,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.

    Been here multiple times and the restaurant is so disgustingly dirty. There are no clean tables in sight. They never have red salsa and they get really bothered when we ask. Just save your money and go to another pollo loco.
