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 Arcadia,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 464 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.3 stars. Price $

El Pollo Loco has become a go-to destination for me when I’m craving delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine with a modern twist. The vibrant ambiance, friendly staff, and mouthwatering menu options make for an enjoyable dining experience every time.

I have been to many Pollo Locos in the past few months. This restaurant (hands down) is the best one in the area. I visit this restaurant pretty much every weekend. The sauces are great, the employees are amazing too. Thanks for always being a great example of a good clean restaurant.

4/15/23 6:05PM. Arcadia, Ca., Store #3465. After looking at the menu and higher prices, I could tell this was a franchise location (confirmed by the cashier). Employees and service were good but the double chicken tostada salad I ordered, did not have double chicken. I used a mailer/flyer coupon for the double chicken tostada ($7 coupon versus $10.79 menu board), which helped justify the lack of chicken. Would eat here again, but with coupon and caution of what I order.

One of the El polo locos in our neighborhood. During the pandemic, this place is very popular with drive through food order. Long lines with long wait. The foods is decent and the family meal deal is great to keep us fed during this crisis. We also want support our local business by making take-out orders. Let’s stay safe and fight this virus together. I am doing my part now.

Food was good. Tried the birria burrito. Service was ok. Atmosphere was clean but plain and boring.

Ordered an avocado chicken salad. There was simply NO avocado in it. Yet they still charged the full price. Shame on them. Never again.

this employee was rude to me and my friends. Me and my friends were joking saying we could sit in the baby seat and her came out and look at one of my friends and said “you’ll break that if you sit in that, i know you will,” and kept on talking about it, like if you told us not to mess with it that’s fine but we were just joking. Then he left to the storage room or whatever then came out and said “i work here i could kick you out ” Like okay bro? i never questioned if you work here. THEN he was cooking touching the chicken or whatever and NO GLOVES so musty.
