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

They have the restaurant indoor close, due to renovation and they refused to take two separate orders in the driver thru. They are the ones who have restaurant close to take orders inside, so they should have allowed at least two order but NO

The taste is still there, and that’s why I keep visit pollo loco. However, since Covid, you have to argue to get some salsa roja and that’s my experience at any pollo loco in the SFV. It’s annoying and the reason I don’t visit more often. This is one of the my closer locations and it’s a shame I have to go through this every single time.
