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

    I wanted to try this locations chicken soup and It was AMAZING. Shredded chicken filled the container to the top! The top! 😍And then the soup, then I added the packets of shredded cheese, cilantro and onions. WOW. Plus a side order of corn tortillas. Let me just say, all I needed was my pajamas, a blanket and my grandma and I would have been set for the day. Except, I had patients in an hour. Thank you to the amazing cooks, crew and Manager for allowing me to enjoy your version of this amazing soup. God Bless your store and staff. Love Debra, Bella and Chance.

    This El Pollo Loco location consistently disappoints. The food is always served minimally and if you pay for or request extra toppings (such as extra onion, extra cilantro) you will not receive them. The other day their salsa was so rotten smelling/old/fermented that I just threw it away. Lazy and incompetent. I live right next to this location and I keep giving them chances and going out of convenience but literally any other El Pollo Loco within a 10 mile radius is marginally better than this location. This location also opens up later than any other locations in the area.
