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 Chula Vista,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 990 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.1 stars. Price $

I just went through the drive thru and didn’t have the best experience with one of the staff. When I was ordering at the beginning of the drive through I clearly said I didn’t want pico on burrito. Simple. But when I went to the window I can hear a girl repeating my order to the other guys. But I noticed she didn’t mention “no pico”.. so when a guy came in to ring me up I just confirmed no pico, so he tells them in the back “no pico In the avocado burrito”. And you can hear the same girl who took my order saying in Spanish “ Pero ya lo hice” and he told her “ well take it off” and she kept talking in Spanish “haci se lo voy a dar”. The guy was very nice and I told him that I definitely told her in advance I didn’t want pico. She kept saying things in the back but I heard everything through the window. Then she kept saying “le voy a decir algo” and the guy was making a face not to say anything. But she came to the window all confident trying to tell me next time I need to order that when I’m ordering in the beginning and not at the end when I’m paying. Which I continue to tell her that I did… at the end she gave me my food and said have a great day like if nothing happened

I must say, I haven’t been disappointed yet by El Pollo Loco. They make very good americanized Mexican food. Seasoned well, hot to order, fresh ingredients, and very tasty. Their portion sizes are fair. They do catering too, which many people use for b-day parties, company functions, etc.

We don’t go very often since they kept messing up the order. This time the sides were okay but the chicken was dried out. It was the 12 piece mixed meal.

I placed an order for pick up and when I arrived, the door was locked. I saw other customers inside. When one walked out, I walked in. I asked why the door was locked. No one could tell me. They ignored me. Poor service!
