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 Mission Viejo,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 365 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.3 stars. Price $

About $12 total for 2 tasty chicken bowls, since we don’t get the chips and drink. Can’t beat it for a quick and easy meal. This specific restaurant location is ultra fast and you wait less than a few minutes to get your food. Got home and dig into my chicken bowl and the taste and flavor were maybe a 7 out of 10. Again, great for the price since it’s so cheap.

Recently visited this location and had the 2 piece leg and thigh combo which comes with 2 sides and a drink. Good tasting chicken. Location is in the La Paz Center near Ralph’s.

I always like El Pollo Loco and this is one of the better ones. We got a whole chicken with tortillas and salsa. The chicken was hot and very tender, it was not over cooked which a lot of places do. The tortillas were fresh and warm, I enjoyed the meal very much. The people who work here are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Visited this location last night during the busy dinner rush. The drive through line and front counter were quite busy. When I entered to place my order, I was greeting promptly by a friendly cashier named Ryan who explained the 10 piece special and took my order.

Love love love the flavor of EPL chicken. And so excited for tamale season! Their tortilla soup is surprisingly great, and they have some nice healthy options too. I give this place a giant sí!

Went in last night and ordered for takeout. The food was fresh and delicious. Exceptional customer service. Nacho was truly attentive and made me and my brother feel welcomed. Our order took only around 5 minutes to be ready. There wasn’t many people dining in though the place seemed really clean. I reccomend this location

Very nice & helpful staff!! Dining room tables weren’t kept up with as several were left not wiped down & no one came out to clean any the entire time we were there!! We went for National Burrito Day only to find out you had to have the App?!? No bueno! Food is always good & hot missing the black beans, which were a favorite of ours too!!
