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 Burbank,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 680 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.0 stars. Price $

I was hoping that been in a huge high end town el pollo loco be better than the rest since most of the have become shelter for the homeless. It seems that an American company bought out the once thriving Mexican restaurant it has become worse and worse.

I have always loved the food here. The flavors are great and unique, but not crazy. I used to take my older two when they were little and get popcorn chicken. Unfortunately, they haven’t had it since my younger two. And some of the food has shrunk. Other than that, I still love it here. Bring back popcorn chicken!

This is the only El Pollo Loco location I ever visit. The food is made properly, the service is better than my local El Pollo Loco location and the atmosphere is probably the best I’ve seen. I live at least 10 miles from this location and the food still arrived hot enough to eat. I believe this was my third or 4th visit to this location ever.

These restaurants use to be delicious. Made from scratch. Now it’s from a bag. Salsas are never fresh. No more lemon. When they had them they were so old and soggy wedges. Corn Tortillas are the worst

Great healthy fast food. Atmosphere is no better or worse than any other chain. Love their salsa, Pico de Gallo and tortillas. In N Out drive thru is always a mile long…El Pollo Loco is fast…and easy to get back on the 5 freeway!

Love the food but ordered through uber eats 3 times and one order they had forgotten the salsa and once they had forgotten one piece of chicken from the 8 piece meal. I dont know why whoever made the order would not put napkins or utensils in the bag . Regardless of the missing things loved the burrito and tostado salad!!

I was in town for the week for work. This was down the street from the hotel and I decided to try it. We did not have one back home but I heard about the place. It did not disappoint. I had the pozole and it was great. I also had the chicken avocado taco. It too was good!!

My eating experience was one by which I know as patrons we are enabling restaurants to be lazy, disregarding and unethical in treatment if consumers. Yes, not holding companies accountable for their lack of regard for monies we earn working just as their employees not held accountable.

Messy, dirty, filthy. Trash on the floor, in the dining area, on the tables. There’s trash literally in front of the register that the employees can see but don’t bother picking up. The kitchen is absolutely messy (picture below). The condiment area is dirty. Only one employee behind the counter struggling with taking orders and serving. The management seems to not care about cleanliness, fast and friendly service, and the employees. The worst El Pollo Loco I’ve ever been to.

I can only recommend the double chicken tostadas which is what I normally get at least once a week and except for the fact that it’s gotten smaller and the price is gone up it’s the best value for the money to fill you up. I tried a couple of the chicken avocado tacos the other day and they were ridiculously overpriced and really bad with hardly anything in them at all.
