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

    This is the second strike I'm giving El Pollo Loco on McDowell Rd and Dysart. This can't be a "real" El Pollo Loco because the chicken is old and hard as a brick. I previously I purchased a taco salad and the chunks of chicken were hard and old. Yesterday I bought a Guac chicken burrito for $11 dollars and it only had beans in it. I had to open it to see if there was chicken. There wasn't any rice and it barely had any cabbage. When people are spending their money they should be able to rely on getting what they ordered. Very disappointed and I will tell everyone I know to stay away from the that El Pollo Loco.

    Just went through the drive-through the rudest little girl helped me while I’m ordering and I say I don’t want rice in my grande avocado chicken bowl with chicken breast meat . She seems super upset OK. I got my bowl home and there is no avocados. There’s probably three kernels of corn in the extra chicken breast that I paid for amount to seven cubes.

    I love freshly made chicken. Not only is delicious is also healthy. No fry there. I love the deal of the leg meal.
