The thighs and legs with mashed potatoes sides are fire here. I also like the generous amount of tortillas they provide, El Pollo Loco is definitely a place to go for bowls and chicken.

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 San Diego,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.

I've gone here a few times on my lunch break and the service is always quick, the workers are friendly, and the food is consistent! Nothing to complain about for a decently healthy fast food joint!
