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

    Staff kept taking other customers despite the fact that I had been waiting for a pickup since before some of them arrived. Gave me a dirty look when I spoke up, and then left items out of my order while refusing to actually speak to me. Inexcusable failure of customer service.

    Absolutely a very horrific experience. The food must’ve been sitting on the grill for at least an hour. The employees were laughing and giggling it took so long to get my food. And I was the only one in the restaurant at 805 pm. Your employees need to learn Customer Service. Your restaurant used to be so good. The food used to be so fresh.

    Food was freshly cooked and very hot. I've never received my order before quite so hot. Employee that helped us was friendly, and professional. The restaurant was clean and items like napkins and straws were well stocked.
