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 Compton,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 935 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 3.8 stars. Price $

I wasn’t really comfortable being there. This place looks like a low budget restaurant despite being a part of a chain. The tables and chairs seem to be of low quality and it’s not making me feel too good about being here. The tables in the surrounding area appear to be quite dirty. It’s easy to see why so many people opt for drive-thru services when ordering food.

Chicken was dry. Someone told me not to eat their, but I wanted to try the Chicken. If they can cook their chicken to be moist, not dried out, I would eat their. The cold slaw & corn was very good.

I must say disappointing but let’s face it El Pollo Loco how much excitement when do items should there really be in this case I went with the birria tacos, well I’ll say the tacos were okay on a scale of 1 to 10 I’ll give him a three maybe four on the other hand the consomme literally tasted like enchilada sauce and the fact that they give you a cup and it’s only filled up a quarter of the way makes it even worse
