Frequently asked questions
Can I use EBT at El Pollo Loco in Monterey Park?
Yes — this location is authorized for the SNAP Restaurant Meals Program, so eligible recipients (age 60+, disabled, or experiencing homelessness) can pay with their EBT card for prepared meals. Standard SNAP cases that don't qualify for RMP can't buy restaurant food.
Who can use EBT here?

What can I buy with EBT at El Pollo Loco?
Hot and ready-to-eat meals are covered. Alcohol, tobacco and non-food items are not, and most states don't let EBT cover tips. Purchases draw from your regular SNAP balance.
Does every El Pollo Loco accept EBT?
