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

    Chicken was under cooked, tortillas were soggy, and the wort part, there was a piece of plastic in my Mac and cheese.

    Just like someone posted a day ago…. The chips were stale ! Yuck! This location is the most inconsistent with the quality of their food I’ve ever seen. Last time I got nachos everything was perfect. And the churros were hot and fresh and even larger and today the side of chips were completely stale and the churros were obviously day old. Wrapped in foil instead of a paper wrapping. And smaller. Disappointed
