I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at El Pollo Loco (North Hills, CA) in Jun 2013
Interview
It was a lot of personality questions. They never really even asked you about former experiences. Or how things really work around there. They didnt ask you anything about the food at all.

Question 1
What are your strengths and weakness. How would you act on a bad day. How do you work with other people. Can you be calm in any situation. How would you react to this or that. What do you think you would do if this happened.
