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

    Terrible customer service from the man at the drive-thru. Not only did he not give me the flan I ordered, but he also didn't give me a receipt. To top it all off, the piece of chicken was tiny.

    Great chicken. I've been to the California locations and this holds up. Salsa is the right amount of spicy.

    My son and I had placed an online order, but we had forgotten to add churros. We drove up via the drive-through and asked the employee for a side of churros. However, he demanded a review and although we would have given one, we misunderstood him and seemingly did not give the response he wanted. He proceeded to deny our order and went to converse with a coworker. I am very displeased with the service at this location. I have never had an order refused simply for no reason. This man was Hispanic, black hair, and somewhat tall. I hope action can be taken.
