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 Murrieta,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 903 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.2 stars. Price $

What just happened ? I’m a old US Army Veteran. My wife wasn’t feeling well, so I told her I’ll go get some Chicken. I walked in and was greeted like I was family (never been to this location). Man behind the counter was just really nice and informative and helpful.

This is not your typical Pollo Loco…this is more like your mom and pops favorite restaurant.

We live 15 miles away and drove to the murrieta location. They ALMOST forgot our chicken avocado burrito but they caught it. But when we got home they forgot my Son’s Mac & cheese and my daughter’s broccoli which both were with there burritos for dinner! I tried calling 7x and it rang and rang then the phone recording said there was no to take our call and hung up! Missing almost $10 dollars in our food for dinner and I couldn’t even get anyone to anwser my call. My husband had to get back in the car and drive another 15miles back JUST to get our Missing food!!

We waited over 30 minutes and I finally went to the counter to ask why my order was taking so long. I was told they had run out of chicken and had just put more on the grill. So it would be another 20 minutes at least. My husband asked for our money back because we were so hungry and didn’t want to keep waiting.

I love El Pollo Loco. This locations execution of the Corp recipes is a joke, embarrassing. Gave them two chances but will never go back. Leather chicken and the new Tacos had a pinch of meat. Pics are of rhe $5 tacos..Go elsewhere.. oh, and we said No onions

Man! They were busy. And the eldery couple in front of me took about 7 minutes to order their food. My guy behind the counter was super patient (as was I) and attentive to his customers. I ordered my food, and my guy came in clutch recommending I turn the $5 chicken bowl to a combo as it includes chips, salsa and a drink for about $1 more…mega upgrade! Fiery salsa was on point and I had an awesome experience overall. This just became my go to chicken spot for next time I am craving chicken. Not to mention the beans, rice, pico and delicious mango lime drink to wash down this protien packed pollo!!! I’m a big guy, and I am full! Oh, and on top of all that, it looked like their inspector was there…inspecting stuff. No pressure. GREAT JOB TEAM EL POLLO LOCO.

Always yummy, hot and fresh, but be prepared for attitude when ordering through the drive thru. Their speaker keeps breaking up and lots of static. The person on the other end got overly frustrated because she had to repeat herself. The chicken tortilla soup was really good. Service was fast.

Friendly cashier, however, cook/chicken chopper wasn’t wearing gloves while working and chopping chicken. Until he realized, customers looking and grabbed gloves to wear it.
