El Pollo Loco

Social Profile:

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

Fast-food chain outpost known for Mexican classics made with fire-grilled chicken.

They don’t pay much attention to you if you are a dine in customer. Our food waited on the shelf for 10 minutes and no one even noticed. There was no one else in thr restaurant. Food was cold and portion was meager compared to drive through. As I sit here there are no less than 5 people waiting who have been here 7-10 minutes.

I love El Pollo Loco but some days the chicken is moist and juicy and some days it dry. None the less, it still has good flavor.

Arnold kept trying to make me buy the 3 taco meal with drink & 3 extra tacos for over 15 dollars. It was cheaper to get the meal with the drink and I had to explain that to him… and the security guard is watching the female employees must be some chicken chicken going on.. foods good and atmosphere was great and up to standards Arnold just need better training

Good grilled chicken. But nothing special. It’s basically fast food with a healthier feeling if you eat it. I had Tacos which were difficult to eat as they feel apart easily. Not the nicest location.

The worst pollo loco worldwide

Tell me why they ALWAYS get orders wrong, always!!! I tell myself ok, maybe this time…. NOPE, I need to stop being so hopeful. Tell me how in the world I ordered 2 rice, 1 pinto beans, 1 mac and cheese, and 1 mashed potatoes WITH gravy and they somehow magically read….3 rice and 1 mashed potatoes WITHOUT gravy….really?? A 60.00 dollar order all messed up, I ordered guacamole and chips and yes ladies and gentlemen you guessed correctly…they managed to mess that up too.
No guac and no chips! I’m laughing from frustration….. whoever is taking care of the orders, your parents must be very very proud

This Pollo loco had no salsa. No salsa at a “mexican” restaurant. Really?! That’s insane!

Update 11/11/23: they had salsa!!!
Ordered a 4-piece and got a breast, thigh and two wings. I feel ripped off with those two wings, though
