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.

    Came at 10:40, pollo loco closes at 11. So still a 20 minute gap right? Went through drive thru and the automated voice said they were closed. Which we were okay with till we started driving and saw the workers hiding from the window and laughing.

    This location is pretty solid, I do most of my ordering on the app and you can't beat some of the lunch deals they have
