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 Chino, 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 85 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 3.6 stars. Price $

I ordered the new salad with double chicken, it looked delicious. I poured all the dressing and mixed it all up. The first 2 bites were pretty good but the 3rd one had a piece of chicken in it. The chicken was hard and dry. (Not at all the typical moist EPL chicken.) Thinking it was only a few, I began picking out the hard dry ones but it was all like that… gross! I took it to the counter and showed the girl, she waived over the Mgr. He looked at it, said NOTHING, walked over to the prep table, got a little cup & put chicken in it and brought it to me. No words, just set it on the counter and walked away. Then I realized much of my dressing was wasted on the gross chicken and had hubby go ask for another one and they acted like they were paying for it out of their own pocket. Unbelievable! I gave 2 stars for the food because once I got the fresher chicken, it was better. I shouldn’t have had to pick out the hard, dry chicken to enjoy my meal.

I have been there 3 times now. Every time I go the chicken is super dry. It seems as the chicken has been over cooked or sat out for a long time.

My order was missing 2 tacos and the wrong burrito was in the bag. we didn’t open the bag till we got home. We were going to do the survey but the receipt was cut off on the bottom and the survey is numbers and store number were not available for the survey. Very disappointed.

Went here to pick up a simple order. One of the people working there had cut their finger. Very sad for her. Particularly because, apparently she was the only person there capable of producing anything in the store. It took about 30 extra minutes for the food to be ready. They forgot a salad that was paid for, we got no tortillas, and the “burritos” were a big sloppy mess. When we called, the manager was “busy”. Pretty disappointing that you can’t get decent food at a food establishment.

This is my El Pollo Loco. Staff is VERY nice and welcoming. Chicken is ALWAYS fresh and not rubbery. It’s RARE when a manager cares. Ceasar’s ON IT!!!!!! We’ll return!!!!!!

Eating seemed small, but it was slow enough we were able to sit comfortably and enjoy our foods.

I previously had left a one star review because in 3 separate occasions that I had been there they never got my order right especially when it came to having something all dark meat. But today I went and there was a really really nice person named Cassandra in the drive-through who just completely made my day. She was so friendly so nice so lovely that El pollo loco she is the only reason I am changing my review from a 1 star to a 5 star. You should give that girl a raise!

the kids working there are always getting my food wrong. The pollo bowl had lettuce in it? The chicken also looked grey…

Definitely the worst location. Food quality consistently bad, service questionable as food is always missing. Was excited to see them building this but after 3 visits 3 bad experiences, I still drive to the Ontario location. Please use hair nets and fix whatever is causing the odd rice and chicken.
