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 Sun 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.

    Very friendly staff. The only opportunity for improvement is entering or exiting the parking lot.

    Been here a handful of times and never had a problem. Clean dinning area. The employees are very fast and kind. Self check out is very to easy to manage. There is even a drive-thru which is a plus. The chicken is very juicy and flavorful. The sides are perfectly cooked aswell. Absolutely love this place for chicken.

    The el pollo loco on Sunland charges for every extra sauce packet $1.00! Then I started going to the one on balboa and Chatsworth and they said there isn’t a charge . The one on balboa is amazing service and well made food . The one on Sunland not so much .
