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 Hawthorne,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.

Look, we all have those days where we want to eat like a Trojan but our schedule feels more like a 10-mile hike. When I’m in Lawndale and need something that won’t derail my fitness goals, I head straight to the El Pollo Loco on Hawthorne Blvd.
It’s the perfect “I’m trying to be healthy” compromise. Their fire-grilled chicken has that smoky char that hits the spot, especially when I’m loading up on the Double Chicken Avocado Salad to keep my energy up for design projects. Right now, they’ve brought back the shrimp for a limited time—the Baja Shrimp Tostada is a great switch-up if you’re bored of the bird.

I’ve gone to this location twice for the wing lover special and every time they tell me they don’t have any wings.. Once it was shortly after they had just opened for lunch, the other time it was around 5pm.. How do you not have any wings when you just opened??
When I went at 5 pm I see all this chicken back there on the grill, you mean out of all those pieces of chicken you can’t come up with 4 wings?? I think they just randomly decide when they’re not going to do any more of the specials for that day..
I was already there, so I ended up ordering the regular El Pollo bowl, but that’s not what I came for and not what I wanted..
The pollo bowl is the same every time, so there’s nothing to write a home about that for..
I was paying with my phone, I literally didn’t have any cash on me and I forgot to order the Cilantro sauce.. They literally wanted me to run my card for 75 cent as opposed to just giving me the sauce… I mean seriously..I was only asking for one and I thought it was the least they could do for not having what I actually wanted but nope..I walked away sauce-less..

Quick service and polite staff. Restaurant seating is large and clean. Ordered the 2 piece meal with two sides. Food was good as expected.

I’ve only been to El Pollo Loco once before, and I was not disappointed by returning, the chicken was juicy and had lots of flavor, the sides were amazing, the mac and cheese was a little salty, but the corn was good, the shrimp and avocado tacos were extremely tasty and we’re juicy with lots of flavor …

The service was great and friendly. Very accommodating and helpful with menu and selections. The atmosphere is what you would expect I guess. Not a place to dine in in my opinion. No real private space. The food was really good, I just don’t like avocados and tho I asked for no guacamole they still added it. Small ding but they remade the food and it was perfect. Can’t really go wrong with chicken.

My go to place for 13 years in a row and never disappoints, i’ve been to many pollo locos and none compare to the quality and portion sizes they have here. The fire grilled burritos are a must!

Liliana’s attitude is absolutely disgusting. This used to be my preferred location until she was hired. I eat this almost every day. It is a shame to spend so much money at a business and be met with such a disgusting attitude. She is the face of your brand and gives a horrible appearance. She looks misreable, and doesn’t smile ever when she helps customers. She doesnt ask people do they want to scan the app for their points. Everybody else is nice at this location except her. Richard, Joequan, Karen, and Silvia.

First time there. The food was good, but there was a rather large bone in my al carbon taco that could have been an issue for a small child
