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

    Terri B the shift leader attendant needs to work on her customer service. She uses bad words to refer to customers I was just asking if my order was ready and she first pretended that she didn’t hear then after raised her voice. SHE NEEDS TO WORK ON HER CUSTOMER SERVICE because she is not on the streets she is working!!!

    To begin, I was assisted at the window by this gorgeous employee by the name of David! Not only was he good looking, but he had excellent customer service! It never fails when I go to this location I could be guaranteed nothing is missing, the meat is perfectly cooked, and the sides are prepared perfectly. I actually have a El Polo Loco walking distance from my home, but it is horrible! I rather drive to the Torrance location for quality, eatable, delicious food.
