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

- BHBryan Hadley4 days ago3.0Over priced
- TTTheBestNathanFeb 20, 20265.0This El Pollo Loco location is always solid! The chicken is perfectly fire-grilled, juicy, and full of flavor every time. The sides are fresh, the portions are generous, and everything tastes made-to-order. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean and well maintained. Quick service and consistently good food — definitely one of my go-to spots!
- MKMaria KoagelDec 14, 20254.0Clean, friendly service and quick.
- NGNot GuiltySep 28, 20255.0So everything was good. Workers we're nice. Didn't have to wait for the food very long at all. But only one thing that I have to put out there... the new Caramel Flan dessert, absolutely disgusting. I highly suggest getting the churos instead.
- GGGreg GharibianSep 25, 20251.0Bro. No chicken in the Tosda. Double the price now, with a bonus of NO chicken!
