El Pollo Loco Menu - Hawthorne, CA

While some things have changed over the last few decades, El Pollo Loco’s delivery of 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 in Hawthorne,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.

Fast-food chain outpost known for Mexican classics made with fire-grilled chicken. Based on 498 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.3 stars. Price $

I usually come here occasionally, and today was not a great experience. The food is usually amazing, but I don’t know what happened this time? I got an 8 piece chicken. The pieces were very small and very hard it ruined my dinner I really wanted to return them but my husband didn’t want to. Go in circles . On top of that, no tortillas

Amatullah B.

I love this El Pollo Loco. It’s the best one in the South Bay-Los Angeles. Always have the best experience and all of the staff are so helpful and I am so happy with the services.

Miesha Williams

Best Experience At El Pollo EVER & I Eat At El Pollo All The Time! There Was A Bit Of A Wait But The Food Was Very Fresh! Even My Tostada Bowl For My Tostada Salad Was Fresh! My Food Was Well Put Together & This Was My First Time Ever Getting Warm Chips! I Enjoyed This Meal Greatly!

ReXx Effects

I’ve only been to El Pollo Loco once before, and I was not disappointed by returning, the chicken was juicy and had lots of flavor, the sides were amazing, the mac and cheese was a little salty, but the corn was good, the shrimp and avocado tacos were extremely tasty and we’re juicy with lots of flavor …

henry Hananya

Very enjoyable place to eat at . Well kept location, managed by the franchise’s owner

J BK

Chicken burrito. Good size, happily full stomach

Myia W

I was about to order here with my boyfriend today until I noticed their filthy restroom with the tiles peeled off and rust and mold in the corner. Plus the line is all the way to the door and hardly moving.

Araceli Sanchez

Usually the food is good in this place but yesterday wasn’t, the food was cold and chicken tasted like it was prepared the day before.

Samuel Sloan

First time there. The food was good, but there was a rather large bone in my al carbon taco that could have been an issue for a small child

David R. Tran

AN great place to eat awesome Mexican food around the city.
