Ah, as I remember from when I was still at home (in Texas/Mexico, not California) everything at El Pollo Loco is oily, down to the rice. You may have gotten off to a wrong start with it - isn't it fried? Next time, start with the tortilla maybe and some skinless chicken (Although, I remember the oiliness of even the skinless white chicken. I think it is really saturated to compensate for the dryness of white meat.). Did you have guacamole? From what I've read, avocado is soluble if a little fatty. Go easy on the rice and beans - definitely. True Mexican beans are cooked in bacon or at least animal fat for taste.
Soda fountain teas are guaranteed to be really sugary, so beware. Fruity or sugary drinks always make me fill ill. That might have sent you for a loop as well. I agree, next time, drink water. All in all, El Pollo Loco can definitely be a pitfall, but there's no reason not to enjoy it, in moderation. I hope this helps.
