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

    Went through the drive-thru and wasn’t sure what to order at first. I initially ordered a bowl, thinking it was a salad. The employee seemed a bit annoyed with my indecision and asked if I wanted a bowl or salad. I switched to a salad, and she offered to add rice and beans underneath it, which I agreed to. However, after paying for what was essentially a loaded salad, I received a regular salad without the rice and beans as described. The experience felt rushed and the order didn’t match what was promised.

    Great grilled chicken. A bit slow on getting out the food, but we weren't in a hurry so it wasn't an issue. Clean facilities. Plenty of seating. Good price to food ratio. Also, plenty of healthy options.

    Mis combo de tres tacos al carbón 🌮🌮🌮 estaban con presentación, principalmente porque el cilantro estaba muy bonito y fresco, el pollo estaba en su punto, no tan seco ni tan húmedo perfecto para mí, el servicio que obtuve por medio de quien me haya atendido me encantó, porque me dio opciones de escoger mi salsa y la cantidad, regularme no me preguntan sólo ponen las que quieren y cuantas quieren… ¡Muchas Gracias! Así después no tengo que desperdiciar nada Que tengan un buen inicio de semana todos ustedes ¡Felíz Lunes!
