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

    The fired on the grill chicken is amazing served with pinto beans, Mexican rice, flour tortillas, salsa fresca(pico de gallo), salsa roja or avocado sauce is the perfect combination for a perfect meal a person can enjoy and let's not forget about the Mac and cheese or the delicious mashed potatoes and corn 🤤 and the best part is not too pricey and often pollo loco offers a coupon for a discount anyone can use now at days!...

    I had an unfortunate experience when I mistakenly ordered a double chicken avocado salad instead of a double chicken tostada salad. After calling the restaurant, I realized my mistake. Sandra, one of the agents, was incredibly kind and understanding. She assured me that I had made a mistake and offered to make the tostada salad for me at no extra charge. I was so grateful for her assistance and would highly recommend this location, especially Sandra.
