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 Elk Grove,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Mixed reviews on food quality; some customers enjoyed the chicken and sides, while others found the food dry, bland, or poorly prepared.

No different than any other Pollo Loco. Shredded chicken nachos are always great

They have excellent tasting chicken, beans, rice, salad, and sauces: all at reasonable prices if you use the available discounts. I don’t usually like salad dressing, but really enjoyed their cilantro-flavored one. Likewise, their rice came out flawless. Beware the green sauce they give is a bit spicy.
