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

    Used to order food from here and it was always great. I have tried 3 times within the last month and the coleslaw has not been the same, the chicken a bit less flavor and kind of dry which is abnormal for what we’re used to from here. Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes still good. Not sure but it is no longer consistent.
