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

    The chicken was so dry, and the tortilla soup was salty. The restroom were filthy. They were a lot of employees, but no one decided to clean the restaurant.

    Prices have become ridiculous. I haven't been to an El Pollo Loco in a while and was shocked that the prices have doubled. Why force me to use a kiosk? Special ordering was so difficult, and the cashier kept telling me to use the kiosk. They don't take orders at the counter anymore.

    I love the food at Pollo Loco, but my experience last night was the worst I’ve ever had—and that’s saying something, considering my previous visits. The young man named Jorge was completely unfriendly when taking my order; at the drive-thru window, his behavior was grotesque and abysmal—he even nearly threw the bag containing my food at me. You really ought to hire people with good customer service skills, or at the very least, train them better.
