El Pollo Loco

Famous Fire-Grilled Chicken. Cooked slow. Served fast. And always cut-to-order.

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.

Dana White called him the “employee of the decade” and we couldn’t be prouder of Alexander for putting his team before the money. Good things happen to good people and we are humbled by Alexander’s actions of integrity, compassion, and selflessness.

Thank you Dana, for shining a spotlight on this amazing employee and also blessing him with a $15,000 tip. To show our admiration of Alexander’s dedication, we wanted to follow suit and recognize Alexander with a token of our appreciation.

We are so proud of Alexander and look forward to his continued growth and success with El Pollo Loco!

Our Tradition

Sometimes the traditional ways are the best. That’s why even after nearly four decades we continue to marinate whole chickens in our family marinade of citrus, garlic and spices several times a day, every day. That’s why our seasoned Grill Masters still grill them low and slow--the traditional way, for 55 minutes over an open flame. That’s why generations of families gather around our Mexican entrees and family dinners year after year. And that’s why our enduring commitment to the principles of hard work, doing things the right way, and always starting with the best ingredients available will never change.
