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

    Great grilled chicken recipe. They need better beans, as in, bring back the sweet, smoky black beans they discontinued. Also need the early years salsa bar to get 5 stars again.

    Terrible parking. Not worth going ever again. What's the point of a drive thru if I have to go park in your terrible parking lot?

    The chicken was tender and juicy. They have pinto beans and rice which were tasty. I wish they had black beans.
