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

    Chicken was undercooked. My burrito was cold. Iced tea had a foul smell and when I took off the lid there was mold in my drink! Never giving business to this chain.

    Always hits the spot. Got one of the Fire Grilled Combos because I'm on a budget but it's still filling.
