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 Hollywood,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Many customers reported issues with food freshness, including overcooked and stale items, while some praised the chicken as amazing.

Chipotle quesadilla. NOT!!! No cheese or chipotle sause. Chicken was very dry
Guacomole is like a day old. They were just trying to get rid of it.
They put a lot of beans and bean juice. Very little rice and chicken and no street corn flavor
very disappointing.

The chicken was amazing. I love the way that it was prepared the staff that assisted us, however wasn’t too pleasant. I asked for a specific item and was given another item instead of the one that I ordered that was pretty frustrating, but for the most part, the chicken was good

They didn't have the one thing I went there for which was the tortilla soup. How in the heck is that possible at 7:41pm?
