What people say

When it comes to Mexican restaurants, there's nothing quite like the taste of fresh, authentic food. And that's exactly what you'll find at El Pollo Loco on Lankershim Boulevard in North Hollywood. This restaurant takes pride in using whole chickens that are marinated in a special recipe of herbs, spices, fruit juices and garlic before being expertly fire-grilled to perfection on their signature open-flame grills. The result is juicy, flavorful chicken that's cut-to-order and served fast.

But it's not just the chicken that's worth raving about at El Pollo Loco. Their handmade guacamole, salsas and dressings are made with the same dedication and care as their famous fire-grilled chicken. And with over 480 locations across six states, this restaurant has become a cultural benchmark for L.A. Mex cuisine.

Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a family dinner, El Pollo Loco has something for everyone. So why not give them a try and experience the taste of real food cooked over real fire? You won't be disappointed!
