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

    It's kind of expensive but it's really good and worth the price. We've been there before but this time we got the burrito bowl and two street tacos with avocado. 🤯 So amazing 😍

    A friend and i went to El pollo loco yesterday. I told the girl, (Syndi) that we wanted two burritos, dine in. She said you want one? I said yes and my friend also, she said $8.05 plus tax. I said NO we want two burritos. She said is four burritos? I said OMG I WANT TWO BURRITOS, PERIOD, THATS ALL. After a few minutes we took our tray to our table, I went back to the counter for cilantro sauce as she only gave us two tiny cups of one guacamole and one fire sauce. There was a guy at the counter now, he said oh, i go see. He wandered around back there for about five minutes came back and told me we don't have any cilantro. I said where is Syndi? She came back and said i get you cilantro but i charge extra. I told her are you kidding me? the menu says with cilantro, she said ok just this time. I think this was a deliberate act as they had a grin on there face the whole time. I will never go back.
