What people say
When it comes to Mexican restaurants, there are a few things that we all look for - fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and of course, delicious food. And El Pollo Loco on Nordhoff Street in Northridge delivers on all fronts.
What sets El Pollo Loco apart is their commitment to using whole chickens that are marinated in a special recipe of herbs, spices, fruit juices and garlic. This slow marination process ensures that every bite is bursting with flavor. The chicken is then expertly fire-grilled on their signature open-flame grills, resulting in juicy and tender meat that's perfect for your favorite Mexican entrees.
But it's not just about the chicken at El Pollo Loco. They also put the same dedication and care into their handmade guacamole, salsas and dressings every day. And with over 480 locations across 6 states, it's clear that they're doing something right.
Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a family dinner, El Pollo Loco has got you covered. Their famous fire-grilled chicken is always cut-to-order and served fast. So why not give them a try? With their fresh and innovative take on L.A. Mex, you'll be coming back again and again.
