What people say

Mexican restaurants are known for their bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and vibrant atmosphere. El Pollo Loco on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles embodies all of these qualities and more. As a Mexican restaurant, El Pollo Loco delivers authentic food that is made with care and dedication. The secret to their delicious dishes lies in the slow marination of whole chickens in a special recipe of herbs, spices, fruit juices, and garlic. These chickens are then expertly fire-grilled to perfection on signature open-flame grills before being hand-cut into your favorite Mexican entrees.

But it's not just the chicken that makes El Pollo Loco stand out from other Mexican restaurants. The handmade guacamole, salsas, and dressings are also made with the same dedication and care as the chicken. Every day, customers can expect fresh and innovative L.A. Mex that will keep them coming back for more.

Founded in 1980, El Pollo Loco has become a cultural benchmark in Los Angeles with over 480 restaurants across six states. Their famous fire-grilled chicken is cooked slow but served fast and always cut-to-order. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a family dinner, El Pollo Loco has something for everyone.

Overall, El Pollo Loco on Sunset Boulevard is an excellent choice for anyone looking for authentic Mexican food that is made with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. With their commitment to tradition and innovation, it's no wonder why they have become a mainstay in Los Angeles for nearly four decades.
