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 North Hills,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Customers reported inconsistent food quality, with some praising the chicken as flavorful and juicy, while others complained about overcooked or burnt chicken and insufficient toppings.

HORRIBLE. I absolutely hated this. They always mistake every single time, the chicken is always overcooked and dry: it's absolutely a catastrophe. And the salad, they don't even put that much dressing necessary, infact sometimes they don't put it at all. I have to check in my order bag since sometimes they forget things.
