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

    Chicken was too salty, we had to ask for our salsa, spoons, plates and napkins when they should have already provided it for it or at least ask us if we wanted some salsa. Overall they need to do better on providing customers the basics and to not over salt the food as well especially the chicken

    Bad customer service at this location. Had to wait about 30 mins for our order. We asked for our food and were told they had ran out of guacamole so we never got our order. Neither the manager Saide or the employee said anything to us about it until we asked. The manager did not want to come talk to us. Better training for managers and employees is needed.
