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 Orange,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.

This El Pollo Loco is Great sometimes though it is not consistent. If you visit when busy it’s always Good. The times when it’s slow then much of the Chicken and Other items have been cooked and are not as Fresh. El Pollo has Some Tasty Food and the Sauces are pretty good too.

I love El Pollo Loco in general but this time the chicken in all of our meals was very overcooked and very dry. I tried the “Keto Burrito” for the first time. Only 11 carbs apparently! It was enjoyable eating a burrito again, since I’m low carb, I usually only get chicken or one of the salads. I like that they offer low carb options! The burrito was pretty good.. except for the dry chicken. Another disappointment was that the avocado salsa is different. It’s thinner and it’s WAY TOO HOT. All the salsas seem less tasty overall and all much hotter than in the past. There used to be fresh cilantro in the pico salsa. There’s very little taste to it. The new “cauliflower with cilantro side” was also lacking. The picture showed actual cilantro in it, but it was completely white with no evidence of cilantro. It was very bland.
Restaurant was clean and service was efficient but a little slow. (We ordered inside). There were a few people eating inside but the drive thru was busy.

Over the past few years, I’ve found that the quality of their chicken has really gone down. The chicken pieces were larger and LOOKED like chicken! Now, the pieces of chicken are much smaller and it’s hard to tell which piece of meat it is. The taste is still good, but why are pieces from other chicken restaurants larger and recognizable? It’s really sad. I have always loved Pollo Loco, but the public wants their money’s worth when eating out! Sadly, it’s not anymore for me.

Horrible brc burrito.
Update: the night manager was very polite and offered to remake the bad brc burrito. My burrito had nocheese and no beans. The remade burrito had extra rice, no cheese, and one teaspoon of beans. Cold and flavorless. Not up to the franchises fresh and tasty standards. A bit unclean, and panhandlers camped out at the electric socket charging phones and collecting soda cups.
El pollo’s SOP is to provide 2oz portion of beans per brc. Train workers correctly.

Still a good place to eat. But regular crew not there. Replaced by large monoliths like in 2001: a Space Odyssey. HAL will take your order.

I love EPL but stick to chicken – I tried the Birria box – felt more like a Jack in box 2 taco deal without the price . Where was the beef . I dipped mostly a Fried tortilla with cheese . Wast full box too. Not worth the 9 bucks or even 6 dls. Does t look anything like the advertisement

So about once a year I retry El Pollo Loco (which I swear I loved as a kid but as a grown up it has never lived up to my memory) so tonight I was excited to try their new fit bowls and my standard BRC burrito. First of all, the picture and menu description are a little decivieng- there is very little protein, the avocado is more like guacamole, and it’s on a bed of (mostly) ice burg lettuce. So disappointing, they could have easily made it delicious, but instead it was mostly lettuce. To top it off the guy taking my order forgot my burrito. Sad. I would recommend smaller family owner local places for really good grilled chicken- you’ll get more food, spend less money, and it will be more than just lettuce.
