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 Mesa,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 place doesn’t get as much attention as crap places like Taco Bell or Filiberto’s and it makes no sense to me. Literally 10x better and it’s cheaper

    This location charged my card 58.47 at 3:43am this morning. I go here regularly to purchase from them. I called and spoke to Juan who was very rude and hung up on me after the restaurant charged my card without my knowledge or consent. Stay away from this location they will scam you and somehow have access to your card through digital wallet.

    Really disappointing experience. Chicken was extremely dry and hard as if it was sitting in a warmer for a long time. The sides were fresh.
