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 La Quinta,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Customer service is terrible. They ignore you until you say something. They dont want to help you at the cash register. Tell you to use the kiosk. They dont have good retention of employees either. Food is good though. I've always liked Pollo Loco and will go to other ones. Do not recommend La Quinta one.

The food is good when they actually get the order right. I work nearby and come here when I want something healthier than an In n out burger, but almost every visit there’s an issue. They either take forever, forget my drink or salsas at the drive-thru, or get they just order wrong.
This time I ordered two crispy chicken tacos, but instead of telling me they were out, they gave me four cold chicken soft tacos without saying anything. Sure, it was more food, but I came for the crispy tacos. At this point, I almost expect missing items, cold food, or an incorrect order whenever I come here. This location has a lot to improve. The Indio location isn’t much better, but I’ve never had an issue at the Palm Springs location.
