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 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.

    El Pollo Loco is 🔥! The food was delicious — especially the bowl. It’s a great deal with fresh ingredients, flavorful grilled chicken, rice, beans, and all the toppings you want. Everything tasted really good and satisfying. Plus, the service was super quick — I didn’t wait long at all. If you want tasty, fast, and good-value food, this place is worth it!
