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.

    Literally asked for a small side of queso cheese and got this. Enough for 3 chips . Cost 1.69 They so wrong for not telling me. I have ordered a small side of queso here before and it was much bigger. I feel robbed. I didn’t have the energy to complain. Thought I would just use that to put them on blast!! I come here a lot, the small has never been this small!!!!!!!! They owe me my money back. Haha this little taste for 4 trips. This is more of a free sample that wasn’t free.
