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

    Beyond Obsessed – El Pollo Loco Just Raised the Bar! I’m not even being dramatic when I say this was one of the best fast food experiences of my life. The food? Always fire. That signature flame-grilled chicken hits every single time – juicy, smoky, and full of flavor like it was made with love. But today? The service took it to another level. There were two ladies working the counter with the BIGGEST smiles and the kindest energy I’ve ever seen in a fast food spot. You could tell they actually enjoyed being there – they were warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. It made me feel like I was walking into my favorite auntie’s kitchen. They didn’t just take my order – they made my day. Quick service, clean space, hot food, and EXTRAORDINARY customer care? El Pollo Loco, y’all understood the assignment. Give those ladies a raise because THAT is how you keep customers coming back. I left with a full stomach and a full heart. 💛🔥🐔
