Famous fire-grilled chicken. Cut to order and steeped in tradition.

About us

In 1980 the first American El Pollo Loco opened on Alvarado Street in Los Angeles, quickly becoming a destination for the best citrus-marinated, fire-grilled pollo in town. Over the past four decades, El Pollo Loco has grown into more than 490 restaurants across 6 states becoming an L.A. mainstay and cultural benchmark along the way. And today, we continue to work just as hard to always provide customers with fresh and innovative L.A. Mex from our famous family dinners to Mexican entrees.

    Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting our amazing franchise partners & valued vendors at the El Pollo Loco Ownership Conference, held at the beautiful La Quinta Resort & Club. It was a time to reflect on our strong heritage as well as the bright future that’s ahead for the brand.  We highlighted our evolved marketing messaging, exciting new menu items on deck, and our new ICONIC restaurant design poised to make our buildings more modern, efficient and economical for our operators.   Our final night featured the El Pollo Loco Awards Dinner which included a Silent Auction benefiting El Pollo Loco Charities. A big thank you to our awesome sponsors and congratulations to all our award winners!   If you would like to learn more about franchising with El Pollo Loco, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gRCFsZtn. We would love to speak with you!

    At El Pollo Loco, we believe in fueling dreams and appetites alike. This #HispanicHeritageMonth, we're highlighting community partnerships that embody the spirit of our fire-grilled chicken – bold, vibrant, and full of goodness. Our recent "Stay Loca" campaign with @LalaRomero inspired young women to embrace healthier lifestyles, with another exciting activation coming this fall. We've also collaborated with local artists to create stunning murals across Los Angeles, adding flavor to our city just like our signature chicken does to your plate. These initiatives remind us that great things happen when we come together – whether it's around a table or in our community. #OrgulloElPolloLoco

    Our story began with a family recipe for fire-grilled chicken in Sinaloa, Mexico. This #HispanicHeritageMonth, we're proud to continue that legacy. Since 1975, we've been serving healthier, flame-grilled goodness that brings people together. Our El Pollo Loco team members and franchisees share our passion for fresh, flavorful food. It's not just about chicken – it's about nourishing our community with better-for-you options that don't compromise on taste. Thank you for being part of our journey. #OrgulloElPolloLoco
