What people say

Mexican restaurants are known for their delicious and authentic cuisine, and El Pollo Loco on La Palma Avenue in Buena Park is no exception. What sets El Pollo Loco apart from other Mexican restaurants is their dedication to using fresh ingredients and traditional cooking methods.

At El Pollo Loco, everything starts with whole chickens that are marinated in a special recipe of herbs, spices, fruit juices, and garlic. The chicken is then expertly fire-grilled on their signature open-flame grills to perfection. This results in juicy and flavorful chicken that is hand-cut into your favorite Mexican entrees.

But it's not just the chicken that's amazing at El Pollo Loco. They also put the same dedication and care into their handmade guacamole, salsas, and dressings every day. These sides perfectly complement the main dishes and add an extra burst of flavor to every bite.

El Pollo Loco has been serving up delicious food since 1980 when they opened their first American location in Los Angeles. Today, they have over 480 locations across six states, but they still maintain their commitment to providing customers with fresh and innovative L.A. Mex.

If you're looking for a Mexican restaurant that delivers on taste and quality, look no further than El Pollo Loco on La Palma Avenue in Buena Park. Their famous fire-grilled chicken cooked slow and served fast will keep you coming back again and again for more.
