El Pollo Loco Menu – Thousand Oaks, CA

Type : Mexican restaurant

Location : Thousand Oaks, CA

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 Thousand Oaks,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.

I wish there is a less star to give. This branch decided to package chicken that they must have reheated several times because we ordered online. Got home only to find the chicken so dry that my kids just couldn’t eat them.

The order taker/cashier rang up the wrong food charging us more for our meal. They refused to do a refund on the card, citing that their computer will not allow it (wrong, that would be illegal). So they kindly gave us the couple bucks back in cash (against their merchant agreement with their credit card processor; it’s like a cash advance without the 30% interest, of course that’s not allowed).

I went to get some lunch today monday 10/4/21 but it seems like they burned the chicken which means that they shouldn’t sell that chicken if it’s burned check out the photo that’s not fair.

This store is always frustrating. Ordering never goes smoothly. That was definitely my last trip to that location. The staff is a horrible combo of rude and dumb. They actually get mad at you for their mistakes.

PLEASE check your food!! I ordered 16 piece of legs and thighs, and when I got home we were about to eat but then we counted if there was actually 16 pieces but there wasn’t, there was 12 pieces instead of 16.

the girls who work there make you feel that they are bothered by you getting to buy and they never take your order well and you always lack something like spoons, forks or your drink

I had good timing this visit, nobody was at the drive thru, my lucky moment! The staff were friendly and the the chicken was just off the flame grill and it was delicious! They put my salad dressing on the side like I requested, and the coleslaw was fresh and tasty! The corn tortillas were torn, like always, so I couldn’t use them for saft tacos, but they were good just by themselves. My only con is they always put the cold coleslaw inside the container with the hot food. Otherwise it was very flavorful and fresh meal!
