About this data
Nutrition figures on this page are the values recorded for El Pollo Loco in the 2022 edition of MenuStat, a public archive of chain-restaurant nutrition disclosures, as compiled in the Cindar restaurant database; the restaurant may have revised them since.
Data version 2026.05.1+ms2022-r5+official-1627oyq+c1+s3, retrieved October 23, 2026. Recipes, portion sizes and regional menus change; the restaurant's own current publication controls where the two differ. Figures are provided for general information and are not medical or dietary advice.
