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 Rancho Palos Verdes,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 260 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.4 stars. Price $

I frequently buy lunch from this establishment. It’s always clean. The staff is well groomed and polite. The food is hot and it is prompt. The staff is bilingual and they offer liquid refills with your meal. Not a bad spot to eat.

My boyfriend ordered 2 double chicken tostadas and one was without pico gallo cause I’m allergic to tomatoes and he ordered both of them with xtra rice and xtra beans and they only gave us light beans and light rice hence we paid for extra bad customer service and chicken felt like it wasn’t fully cooked on the outside but I’m giving a 2 star rating despite it being bad customer service and didn’t get what we paid for because my boyfriend said the food was really good the taste and flavor but I didn’t get to eat it cause the allergy I have

Great service and to my surprise, the new menu item(tortilla soup) was extremely tasty and the serving portion was very generous. It’s a must try!

I was excited but underwhelmed by the enthusiasm and food quality. I ordered online showed up on time but it wasn’t ready. Quesodilla was sour.

Food is good. I suggest extra well request on chicken since it may not be done inside. I always order the chicken breast, which takes longer to cook. I never order any other chicken parts. Be care sometimes on the salsa, tastes funny at times. Overall, I recommend this restaurant the workers are so very, very kind. I always leave a tip. The one on Western has really bad salsa, just a heads up. Double check chicken breast before leaving the store to make sure it is dark, that way you know chicken breast is done to the bone.

Didn’t get our quesadilla or salad dressing with our pickup order. If fast food workers are going to insist on making the same pay as an EMT, then at least make sure the order is correct.
