Tips
For our customers with celiac disease or sensitivity to gluten, we have compiled this list to assist you with your menu choices. IMPORTANT: Please note, this information provides a list of menu items that are not made with gluten-containing ingredients. However, El Pollo Loco does NOT claim that any of its foods are gluten free. El Pollo Loco does not use dedicated chopping boards; fryers/frying oils; utensils; and/or food contact surfaces for gluten-containing foods. We therefore do not guarantee that cross contact with gluten-containing foods will not occur. Depending on the guest’s level of sensitivity, this may or may not be a consideration. The following information is based on current information provided by our approved food suppliers as of the date indicated below. Please be aware that variations in formulation may occur due to changes in suppliers, ingredient substitutions, recipe revisions and/or product production at each of our restaurants. And, as ingredients can change, we recommend that you check back on a regular basis for up-to-date information.

Dedicated gluten free menu on website, not in store. Staff was not knowledgeable. But ingredients are simple and listed under each menu item.
Tasty, juicy chicken. We had the bowls. No complaints.

Picked up takeout today, first time to eat here since celiac diagnosis. Hard to find their GF info online but finally found a link after I clicked on a menu item. Warns there’s no dedicated kitchen or cross contamination protection but much of their menu is listed as GF. Chicken and most sides are on the GF list as is the milky drink horchata! Here’s the GF link as of 9-9-2022: https://www.elpolloloco.com/content/pdfs/epl_gluten_info_mod_4_2022_hr-1.pdf
