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

    Absolutely terrible customer service. "Abigail" wouldn't take my card and refused to let me even try, no sense of customer service or politeness and refused to let me speak to the manager until I had to complain even further. Food is good though, when the manager is around there's a lot better customer service.

    The manager was really nice and checked on the customers, he even came to my table to pick up my tray when i was done eating. I asked him for an application for my family member and he got it right away. Great job, it was a pleasant experience!!! Food was good too
