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

    Terrible customer service. Whem walking in-store to place an order, the employees always make customers feel like it is an inconvenience to physically take a customer's order instead of having the customer use the kiosks. Unfortunately, sometimes the kiosk or online option does not allow for changes or substitutions that an employee can do. Management really needs to step up their training for employees on customer service and manners. This is definitely a teachable opportunity.

    I went yesterday on my lunch and had an issue with the reward on my app. Brenda the manager on shift was really kind and helpful. She fixed the issue and gained a loyal customer just on her customer service alone.

    Their chicken burritos are soggy and unflavorful. This location never makes your food fresh.
