El Pollo Loco Menu

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 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 558 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 3.9 stars. Price $

Ordered the birria tacos for the first and last time. The meat (birria) was so dried out, it was black, crunchy, and hard. Yuck! The tortilla shells seemed double fried, thin, and broke apart down the center and every time you try to take a bite, like chips??? Good thing I bought a container of pinto beans. Can’t go wrong with those!

The restaurant was dirty and my order was made in a careless way. I ordered the double chicken and street corn salad. It had a very small portion of dry chicken It looked like it was fried and very little corn and they forgot to add the chili powder. The atmosphere was annoying because I had to listen to a lady from the kitchen talking very loudly on her phone and then laughing while she was at the registers. Hopefully someone tells them that when we go to a restaurant we don’t go to listen to an employee’s conversation or pay to get food that is made in a careless way.

I have been eating at El Pollo Loco about 6 to 8 times a year since they opened their location in Vista, California. This location has never really impressed me – it just is. The food is usually adequate as I want something healthier than fried chicken. The service at this location has always been lacking. The employees usually never smile and they seem to, many times, act as if you are bothering them with your patronage. I was not happy at all the last time I went through the drive-thru and got food for the entire family. Upon arrival home I found that both orders of large mashed potatoes were overcooked, obviously burnt and all- around nasty looking. When I drove back to the store and showed them to the “supposed” manager (who was not wearing a name badge,) she did not offer an apology, or anything for that matter, and just said flatly that she could replace them. I expressed my dissatisfaction with having been sent home with that obvious mess – she just looked at me and asked if I wanted her to throw them away. This is terrible customer service and terrible management training on the part of El Pollo Loco.
