Company & Culture: El Pollo Loco, Inc.

Preparing "perfect pollo" doesn't just happen by accident. Grilling perfect chicken is truly an art and takes a dedicated Cook who is dependable and eager to learn. We call our Cooks "Grill Masters" for good reason - they become certified masters at fire-grilling chicken that's beautifully crisp and golden on the outside and moist and flavorful on the inside.
