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 Victorville,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Many customers reported issues with food quality, including dry chicken, incorrect orders, and expired salsa.

Ran in to get a cup of coffee (they don’t sell it) but got a couple of burritos and used the bathroom before getting back on the freeway with my husband. The customer service was 10 out of 10. Greeted when we walked in, place was clean, bathroom was super clean, lady was super fast to help us since I hate kiosks and she made me want to return to this location. I wish I got her name because she was amazing. Hate to describe physical features on Google but maybe her manager will see this - she was a tall, thin friendly mature black lady that super impressed me with her demeanor and eagerness to serve.

AVOID THIS STORE.
Go to the one on 395 or Hesperia Road — better food & better service. Actually any location is better than this.
This El Pollo Loco is by far the worst one out here.
They do not make anything correctly. All the burritos and bowls are dry. The classic chicken burrito is supposed to be chicken tinga and it’s definitely not. So dry! The burrito is supposed to be red inside.
And there’s a bunch of corn in the burrito?!
The staff is rude, they don’t greet you or acknowledge you because they have a kiosk.
So even if you have a pick up order and you go inside, they’ll look at you and won’t come to you no matter how many times you wave them down. When you go through the drive-thru they’re always having conversations with each other…..this is why ordered get messed up.
And they charge for pico?! Since when? It’s watery and has no flavor anyways so don’t bother.

I door dashed my food and the chicken bowl leaves a lot to be desired. Very small portion of protein. Very bland.
