Famous Fire-Grilled Chicken. Cooked slow. Served fast. And always cut-to-order.
While some things have changed over the last few decades, El Pollo Loco's commitment to 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, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
At El Pollo Loco our food is a reflection of who we are, where we’re from and where we live. The perfect blend of traditional Mexican flavors and new California inspiration. It’s a burrito inspired by a farmers market alongside slow-simmered pinto beans. It’s a paleo-friendly protein plate at the same table as a street taco. And a traditional meal of our famous fire-grilled chicken complemented by a salad with mangoes and fresh avocados. In short, it’s L.A. Mex.
