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

    Edit 2: Well, it took all week, but they did reply asking for more information about my experience. I referred them to this review, even provided a screenshot. Then, less than an hour later - same email requesting the same info. I submitted it a second time. Then, less than an hour later - a third email asking, again, for the very same information I already provided twice before. Wow, they really don't seem to have their act together there at EPL. If they can't even handle a negative review competently, makes me wonder how they handle food. Downgraded from 2 to 1 star for the continued frustrating experience. Edit: I did what was suggested in the reply and contacted them at the address provided to "make this right" and "rectify the issue". No response. So, their reply was simply to make it appear to everyone else that reads the review that they actually care about customer satisfaction. Clearly they don't. I've been to this location a few times now. The first time was good. Decent amount of chicken, good balance of beans and rice, etc. Each subsequent experience has been disappointing. Either the chicken is all gristle and fat, or like this time, the bowl is almost all rice. I think I'll have to pass on this location in the future. The picture is the rice in the bowl after all of the chicken, beans, salsa, onions and cilantro are gone. Notice, the bowl is still nearly 90% full - just rice. I threw almost all of the remaining rice away.
