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

    Very busy. Slow service food preparation took more than 35 minutes to get my order, which was two classic chicken burrito combos.....very disappointing....

    It was awful, we drove up to a line in the drive thru. We waited over 15 minutes before I called inside and asked, what was going on. I was told the people that were at the speaker was still ordering. So we continued to wait. Then an employee came out and said they close at 7:00. I told him we have been waiting for over 15 minutes. So we were here before 6:45, and they need to take our order and I was told, sorry but that is not going to happen. He continued to tell me that they have to be out of the building by 7:30 and there are signs at the front of the store that state that. I told him that we are in the drive thru so how were we supposed to see a sign that is in the front of the store. He still refused to take our order. There were 4 cars in line that they refused to serve. To wait over 20 minutes and be turned away was absolutely ridiculous. I asked for the name of the manager and he said he was the manager. I said I wanted his manager information and he told me he would not give that to me. I then asked for the corporate number and again he said no. I asked for his name, he said Jorge. So I guess I'll be getting corps number on my own.. Thank so much Jorge! Worst customer service.

    Workers can never tell the difference between red salsa and pico de gallo, two very different things. I always ask for red salsa, even tell them the spicy one so they don’t get confused but still hands me pico de gallo

    They forgot our large Mac & cheese, sauces and utensils. We had to park down the street and walk back to get our missing items. 😪
