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

    Desconozco sus políticas para ayuda , pero una señora de la tercera edad ocupaba ayuda para ordenar y el señor muy grosero repitiendo que la orden debe ser por la pantalla. Espero que la compañía le pague bien , debe valer la pena ser tan grosero.

    Got home only to find they didnt put my Crunchy Taco in the bag and that was the only thing I got for myself. It was nice watching my friend eat her meal as I ate her tortillas and green salsa. So annoying.

    I decided to have El Pollo loco today, which was a mistake. This quesadilla was disgusting, the sauce made the quesadilla inedible. I called and spoke to a manager, and he ask me "what do you want me to do about it?" I want you to make this right! Why would I take my hard earned money and throw it away. This was the absolute worst quesadilla I ever had in my life!
