About

Mexican RestaurantCatererChicken RestaurantFast Food Restaurant
While some things have changed over the last few decades, El Pollo Loco's delivery of fresh, authentic food has not. Everything starts with whole chickens that are slowly marinated in a special recipe of herbs, spices, fruit juices and garlic. The chicken is then expertly fire-grilled to perfection the authentic way - on our signature open-flame grills - then hand cut into your favorite Mexican entrees. We put that same dedication and care into our handmade guacamole, salsas and dressings every day. At El Pollo Loco in Chandler,AZ, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.

    I ordered a 4 piece with two sides. They were grilling fresh chicken when I arrived. The chicken they gave me must have been cooked 2 to 3 hours prior. The flavor was really good however all my chicken was super dry! I would bet this restaurant has no timers on pre-cooked chicken.

    I literally went to eat here for months because the sweet cashier was very engaging and fun. Then she quit and I found myself still going so it turns out I actually like the food. Bravo!

    Good food, but if you are picking up just check your order before leaving. I got the wrong order even with my name on the receipt.

    Manager Rito is VERY rude and inpatient with customers. Not welcoming at all! So bad in fact I wanted to leave but my husband had a taste for the chicken. I hope a regional manager reads this because the clown needs to be talked to and educated on how to treat customers!!! He should be demoted that’s how awful our interaction was!!!
