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 San Diego,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Best place ever their food is just like the employees just excellent

El Pollo Loco holds a truly special place in my heart. Growing up in the 90s, my parents used to take my sister and me here all the time, and every visit brings back memories of a simpler time. Today was my first time at this specific location, and it is easily one of the best I have ever been to. While the Mack Road location in Sacramento will always be my original favorite, this San Diego spot is neck and neck with it. Thank you to the team here for serving great food and letting me relive some of my favorite childhood memories.
