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 Visalia,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
While many customers enjoyed the food, there were numerous complaints about dry chicken, missing ingredients, and inconsistent quality.

Crispy chicken is very good. Their Pollo Loco original bowl is one of the least expensive lunches you can get.

Came to buy dinner for my family they said it was a 30 minute wait for chicken. How are you going to run out of chicken. I left I’m not waiting 30 min what are they doing that they let the chicken run out.
