The partnership between the parties dates back to September 2017 when El Pollo Loco selected DoorDash as its exclusive partner.

El Pollo Loco chief marketing officer Ed Valle said: “Delivery has been a major focus for us as we continue to better connect with our customers and provide them with a high-quality, convenient and differentiated dining experience.

“We strive to fulfil our customers’ cravings for great flavours whenever and wherever they may be – and are thrilled that our fans can now get El Pollo Loco’s fresh, citrus-marinated, fire-grilled chicken and authentic Mexican-inspired menu items delivered directly to their doorsteps.”

The company has extended its delivery feature to its system across the Los Angeles Market and six others following a successful pilot programme carried out in Las Vegas, Nevada and Orange County, California.
