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

    I love El Pollo Loco and probably eat here about four times a month! I really appreciate the keto-friendly options. The girl at the drive-thru was super sweet and bubbly, she greeted me with a smile and made the interaction so pleasant. I do wish they offered more coupons, but overall it was a nice little treat after getting my nails done. I’d definitely recommend this location for their exceptional customer service!

    Terrible service. Ordered drive through asked for a double chicken salad and I asked if instead of the chips I could get a churro instead all I got was a “no” then “ would that be everything” I said yes and at the window I asked for a order of churros.the guy asked if I need something extra and I said yes green salsa please. Paid for my order and the same girl who took my order brought it up to me and said here it go. I checked my order and turned around and asked for green salsa and she walked away so I thought I was getting it then she came back and she said “ you need something else” I said yes a “ fork “. I drive away. My order didn’t had napkins and fork nor the green salsa plus my churros only one of them had the sugar and one was plain.
