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

    Excellent Service from Managers at El Pollo Loco #5620 I am a loyal customer of El Pollo Loco #5620 and want to sincerely thank two managers, Maria Grajeda and Maria Camarena, for their outstanding help in resolving my refund. My refund issue had been pending with the office for two weeks with no resolution, but both Maria Grajeda and Maria Camarena were extremely helpful. They were polite, patient, and very thorough in handling my case. I appreciated their attention to detail and punctuality in following up and keeping their promises to call me back. I am so happy to have such dedicated employees at this location. Their professionalism and care make me feel confident in both the staff and the store. I truly know I can trust them and the service at this El Pollo Loco.

    It's El Pollo Loco . I have not visited here in years and I was missing out. I ordered the chicken burrito bowl, which was new to me. It is delicious and filling!! I ordered mine with no guacamole and it was just as delicious, I'm sure. The service was wonderful with friendly customer service.
