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

    Very friendly and helpful and staff. Good food and reasonable price. Appreciate the outside tables with umbrellas for when we have our dog along. Abundant parking available even for a motorhome or trailer.

    As usual, chicken in Pollo Bowl, burnt. Remember when we use to get white meat chunks?? Lake Havasu has the absolute worst El Pollo Loco. Chicken is 100% burnt. I will never go there again! Horrible food! The new on in Indio is nearly as bad!!
