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 Bakersfield,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. Based on 440 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 3.9 stars. Price $

I am a huge Pollo Loco fan. This location is by far the best here in Bakersfield. They are not shy with their sauces and always hand you your food in a timely manner. My wife and I are on a low-carb diet, so we always get salads as sides. The lettuce and avocado on the salads are always fresh.

The restaurant makes very good food. I’ve come here for chicken during the rush in traffic while going out shopping for groceries and other necessary items. El Pollo Loco is a real treat; they give fire-grilled chicken and lots of sides for the money and it gets fun to have a burrito just filled with stuff. Awareness is a factor to the restaurant’s honesty in terms of conduct, preparation, and kind behaviors. Of course, I’ll have to provide them with enough information when receiving my order because their awareness may not get involved in our communications. Sometimes I find missing things in life and get required to inform them of my situation. I’m a customer, tea-taster, and let them know of my experiences with plenty of relations at hand. Eating nice, fresh chicken is a plus. There’s also a good variety of sides which act as a bonus for their burritos in the works near the clean lobby. Food comes quickly. What El Pollo Loco really specializes in is their salsas, recipes, combinations which go hand in hand between chef and the dining patrons who pardon themselves for less cooking at home on a note of relaxation and ease of mind. A restaurant like this has pretty colors inside that help add onto the experiences I share with family and friends; I’ve already got remarks from a couple strangers and we’ve shared chips and salsa in our talks for food and delight. Bakersfield is a big catch for the chicken-oriented restaurant since the heat of the day can waken our senses for such food on those plates. Macaroni and cheese is excellent due to the sharp flavor within the side-course meal. I’ve added rice on the side. Getting a full meal is no problem when I’ve been figurative about sauces during lunch hour with friends in need of appeal for their devotion to safety in traffic. It’s decorated inside the building and my family knows exactly what they need based on mood and interrelated demands. Picking up something to go is a piece of cake- from the restaurant to my home I’ve relished on avocado in each burrito I order throughout the understanding shared between myself and the involved workers. Everything is clean inside; I can tell, so many counters are practically flawless and many occurrences are so rare that we might as well have never seen them in negative perception. Mom really likes this place, dad has managed himself for the food when hunger is needed in tasteful moods. Honestly I’ve found a lot to like about El Pollo Loco.

Hit and miss with this location. The two piece chicken whatever you call it deal I got tastes like it was saved from the previous day. Chicken super dry. Mashed potatoes too hot to eat. The corn, well it’s corn. I could have opened a can and gotten the same taste. Saddens me because Ive always loved eating here.

Used curbside and when I got to my destination, was missing a large side of corn. No napkins. First time at this Bakersfield location, but might not use them again.

I gave this place one star on everything I was greeted all right when I went in there the place did not smell but as far as the food it was Bland with no taste and the portion size for the price was definitely not worth it you know so I definitely recommend going somewhere else because the portions are very little and the food has no taste

They don’t get orders right in drive thru and when I went in to let them know , they ignored me especially manager til I had to complain . I let them help their customers in line but they still ignored me as if I weren’t there . Will never go to this store again and not sure if will ever want to go again or to any of their other locations . Also, my food was cold as soon as I got home .

Order was bagged when I arrived, did not receive everything, had to go back, arrived back at office ten minutes after lunch meeting had started, and only then realized we had no salsas. Our people love El Pollo, but I will not be using them again. The girl at the register was awesome, however. And, they do not have a working phone number.
