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 Los Angeles,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 241 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 3.4 stars. Price $

I eat here pretty often since it is close to my job. I ordered from here yesterday(15 min prior to going for my order), when I went to pick up my order, there was only one girl working. She said she’d be with me, which I was okay wi airing a little for my order, but as soon as other customer went to the cash register, she ignored me and went straight to him, I looked at my friend like, fr? As the other coworker was getting back from her break, she rolled her eyes at me! And when she was packing my order she was giving me one of the dirtiest look! Like I wasn’t being rude or anything for her to get an attitude!

The only thing that’s loco is how bad the pollo is. I’ve never had such dried, desiccated chicken before. I’m only glad I used a coupon and didn’t pay full price – because this place is surprisingly expensive? You can get a meal from Whole Foods for much less. Avoid this place.

I expressed disgust at how food prices are 50% higher here in DTLA than in Carson. The cook took time to explain how his burritos are much bigger so I calmed down and left happy after paying $16 for a BRC, small coleslaw and a medium coke

The food was pretty good but $26 is just ridiculous for a burrito and 2 pieces of chicken with 2 sides.

Placed and online order through the El Pollo Loco app. Went to pickup and the girl taking orders said she didn’t get it. She probably gave the order to someone else then played dumb. She was VERY unhelpful and did not let me speak to a manager when I CLEARLY had the email for the time and order in my hand. Now I have to go through my credit card to get my refund.
