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 Lancaster,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 828 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.0 stars. Price $

What I started to notice moving to landcaster is that every fast food restaurant we go to, lord, they take their sweet time, horrible, that I have to wait 30min plus in the drive-through. They need to stop hiring Mama kids because it is bad the bad. They are super slow they over staff and they still bad workers..

I go to East Side Lancaster El Pollo Loco to support them and closer to residence. But today I was appalled by a flat burrito not fully closed and dripping of junk. I ended up with an upset stomach even though I risked eating only half. It was a good 30 minutes to go thru drive through. I will travel to West Side where service and food are better.

It took a while for them to take my order. Then, when I got to the window, they took my debit card and then asked me to back my car up in the drive-through to reset their timer. Back at the window they gave me my card and food and closed the window. No words exchanged or anything. Have a nice day I guess…..

Can’t say anything else but wow to the service! I placed an online order just a few minutes before I arrived at the restaurant and my order was just about done! Worker was super friendly and gave no hesitation when I asked for extra sauce. Drink was already prepared nothing was forgotten in my bag 10/10 service. That is the type of service I like to receive. Thank you

I am disappointed with my neighborhood, El Pollo Loco. Their original chicken bowl looks awful with chicken pieces, including skin and grissel. It was cold, and the onions were not fresh, and they failed to add cilantro. They can’t call it the original chicken bowl anymore! That’s false advertising. It no longer contains white meat, at least at this location. Furthermore, I have been here on 3 occasions in the past 4 weeks, and they were out of chicken! This is a chicken only restaurant! No chicken, why are you open? The drive-through line is long, and you don’t find out until you make it there to order.

Just bought 3 tacos for lunch and I found a black hair about 2-3 inches long. I tried calling a few times to let them know but no answer… way to ruin my lunch break :/

I asked for Loaded Chicken Nachos with no guacamole, Pico De Gallo, and Sour Cream. They put guacamole on it. I mentioned it, because I am allergic to avocados. Instead of making a new one, they just removed the guacamole, but not all of it. Needless to say, I didn’t eat them. And I really wanted to try them…
