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.

    I came at 9:30 so I understand if they didn't have chicken left, but instead of making me pay $11 for a burrito and putting 2 tiny pieces with majority rice and beans, they should have told me there wasn't enough chicken left. chipotle4L

    Bought a tostada with burnt chicken I Brett, the manager offered chicken only instead of a new one. Bathroom had no toilet paper, I had to use the toilet covers. No paper towels, toilet nasty looking.

    I picked up an 16 piece dinner with sides ordered on the app. I aways love their chicken and the sides of corn and coleslaw. The meal was ready when I arrived
