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 Torrance,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 818 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.0 stars. Price $

Sooooo disappointed! Think twice before ypu spend yoir money here and double check your food before you leave, especially drive thru. Was craving a tostada salad and I like El Pollo Loco’s, so I went there. Used the drive thru, I ordered a double chicken tostada, extra sour cream and a drink and paid almost $15 for it. 20 minutes later, when I arrived to my destination, I was so disappointed with my food! Majority of the chicken were hard and dry! They look like chicken from yesterday warmed up, cut up and left out in the sun for me to come and take home to eat! I called the restaurant, spoke with Elvida the manager, she sounded nice, but very distant…..make my complain about the food and how I feel that they do this on purpose to ppl I’m the drive thru because there is a good chance they won’t be coming back if something is wrong! All she could offered was, sorry about your food, you can come back and exchange it. So that means, I waste my gas just to go back for an exchange? No thank you! Then she says, come back anytime, ask for me and we’ll do a refund and a new salad…..I’m not too sure about going back there for the food. But as for their drive thru…..she didn’t say anything about it…so I guess this is how things are run here!!!!

Unfortunately, due to rude service, I will NOT be returning to this El Pollo Loco location; I simply asked for a Cilantro Lime dressing and the lady sharply retorted that it will be $0.44 each; when I mentioned that they’ve never charge this before, she snapped that it’s been this way since May; my adult son said she acted like a teenager who didn’t want to be there. There’s one thing I can’t stand is poor customer service by providing rude answers to someone. There’s no place for it in a service oriented profession.

This place was messy and uninviting, seems like they haven’t clean the dining room after a lunch rush, but it was pass 4 pm.
