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

    What kind of a restaurant that has Mexican street tacos not offer limes or lemons any longer to go with those. You cannot have street tacos without limes or lemons. I was told that they no longer serve those because of the cost to the business. That is absolutely ludicrous and ridiculous! This will be the last time I ever go to El Pollo Loco.

    The food is pretty good, but it's often very full and as a result not the cleanest. It's good for a quick bite, but don't bring your family. The last time I went they took almost an hour to get out the food for my family of 4. While it is wheelchair accessible it's not the easiest to navigate in a wheelchair.
