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 Rafael,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
I completely understand that the staff wants to go home at the end of the night, but their hours on Google Maps clearly state they are open until 10:30 PM. We arrived at 10:25 PM and were turned away because they said they were closed. Closing time means the time you stop taking orders, not the time the employees walk out the door. Wasted a trip because they just didn't want to sell.
