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

    This is the worst location to go to. Do yourself a favor and drive to the one in La Verne or Montclair. This location is poorly managed and double check your order because it is never correct. The salad dressing is watered-down (if you even get salad dressing) and the salads are old and wilted. The chicken is over-cooked and dry. The employees and management staff put in no effort and it shows. Nobody is striving for excellence at this location for sure! I have tried it three times now hoping perhaps it was a bad day for them in addition to being a convenient location from the Pomona courts, wanted to support local business and feed our clerical staff...never again! Ordering food here is a complete waste of your money.
