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 chicken in town. Over the past four decades, El Pollo Loco has grown into more than 500 restaurants across 10 states becoming an L.A. mainstay and cultural benchmark along the way.
La Polleria serves authentic "pollo a la brasa" also known as Peruvian Style Chicken that is roasted in an imported brick lined charcoal fired rotissere oven from Peru. We start with fresh all natural Red Bird Farms chicken that is then marinated with a special family recipe. Served traditionally with fresh cut Yukon Gold fries and a green salad. Other side dishes include Yuca fries, fried sweet plantains, tostones, baked Yukon Gold potatoes served with butter and sour cream, Arroz Amarillo (Yellow Rice), garden salad topped with carrots, sliced cucmber & tomato, or Tornado mac and cheese.
For dessert you might want to try the flan covered in a creamy caramel sauce.
For a snack or appetizer choose an empanada stuffed with "aji de galina" which is shreded chicken in a mildly spicy creamy sauce.
