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

    I ordered a classic chicken tostada & chips. Chips were stale. The flour tortilla shell for the salad was rancid tasting! Perhaps the oil was bad or they sat out too long. Haven’t eaten here in a long time and I won’t eat here again! It used to be delicious😕

    7/2/25. Spoke to manager about the sewer smell coming out of the restroom into the dinning area. Hopefully it’s taken cared of. Great food. Good service. The smell ruins it.
