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

    🔥 Fast, Friendly & Tasty – Always a Solid Stop! 🔥 I’ve been coming to this Pollo Loco for over a year now, a few times a month, and it’s always a smooth experience. The food is fresh, service is fast, and the staff is super polite. One manager in particular (don’t know his name) is always friendly and keeps things running well. They have machines to order from, which I sometimes use, but I like that there's always a person ready to help if I want to skip the screen. As someone who haa to eat on the go often, I won’t say this is the best food out there—but it’s good enough when I’m on the go. There are plenty of choices on the menu, and I can keep it light if I’m watching what I eat or want to stay on the healthy side. Sometimes orders aren’t perfect, but they always fix it with no drama. The place is clean, and I even saw a regional manager visit once, checking on things. The whole team stayed professional and friendly, even under pressure. All in all, this spot is solid. Good food, great service, and I’ll keep coming back.

    So I ordered a breast/wing combo and I received a thigh combo. I called them to see what they could do for the inconvenience and they first denied that they gave me a a thigh. Worst service and worst customer service ever. Manager was involved and did nothing.
