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 Gilbert,AZ, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.

El Pollo Loco is literally the best in the world. Burritos are perfection. Guacamole? Please. I remember someone once told me that "El Pollo Loco" is spanish for "The Crazy Chicken." I thought that was interesting but years later I now live in Mexico and I am fluent in Spanish 😂. Even though ive eaten some pretty authentic and delicious Mexican Food, I will 100% come back to this location when I return. Fr yall are the best.
