El Pollo Loco has Lime in it somewhere

I love El Pollo Loco chicken and is one of the things I miss most now that I live in the Midwest. I have tried this recipe and although it is VERY good, it is not the true marinade recipe for El Pollo Loco. I give it 3 stars because it does add good flavor to the chicken, but it is mislabled as El Pollo Loco.

this might be good but it's not THE el pollo loco copycat...the real one is very simple, like salt water and yellow food coloring....i miss el pollo loco!
