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 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.

    Our chicken tostada salad was very fresh and good. Most other locations I've been to, the chicken is always dry and over cooked. I almost didn't stop. I was pleasantly surprised! And we'll go back to this location again 😁

    Cashier didn’t know how to honor or process a coupon. The coupon was for with any purchase a 2 dollar dessert. The cashier proceeds to ring me up for only the 2 dollar dessert and not my purchase. When my order comes I asked where my purchase was and she acted like she didn’t know what I was talking about and proceeded to call over who I suppose is a manager and I explain to the manager I ordered a purchase so I can get the 2 dollar dessert but the cashier only gave me the 2 dollar dessert. After showing her my coupon and receipt she says the cashier only rung me up for the 2 dollar dessert without a purchase. At first I was going to let it slide and be understanding because people make mistakes I get that! it happens! but what I don’t need to let slide or understand is how infront of many customers in line the manager says loud enough to me well you only paid for a 2 dollar dessert!! which I responded right back well I ordered a purchase to get the 2 dollar dessert but your cashier did not ring me up!! That’s not my fault!! And I shouldn’t be made to feel like it is!! and if the manager was more professional a simple I’m sorry would have been just fine with me…but that is not the service I recieved. I rather drive miles to another el pollo loco than deal with that again.

    šŸ”„ Fast, Friendly & Tasty – Always a Solid Stop! šŸ”„ 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.
