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

My previous recent experience was poor at this location. When I tried using a coupon, it didn't go through and at the same time the representative taking my order was being dismissive and unhelpful.

I can't really justify returning here. I don't know but I just felt that the lady was mean but at least a male worker seemed nice and had a bit of a conversation. Food wise, the chicken doesn't really have a lot of flavor and I guess the rice can somehow help but yeah I tried it out on a whim and felt that the price and taste isn't for me. I accidentally ordered an add on thinking I was suppose to add it for the chicken to be included 😅🙇♂️
