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.

    My husband and I pulled in the drive thru 10:00pm on Saturday, and sat there for 10 minutes until an employee hollered, "we closed" at us, even though the website hours site 3am as closing time. I'd try again sometime in the future, but would love the times to be updated!

    Stop supporting this place. The one in Baton Rouge on Airline has a racist staff. They give bad customer service to black people. The first time I went was in the drive through, and the lady snatched my debit card out of my hand.I later told my wife and she told me she had the same experience. I went back a few more times just to make sure I didn't overreact. And every time it's bad customer service. They tried to rush me through my order, when I already know what I want when I get there. And then they have an attitude when they get your order wrong. Google made me give them one star. But they don't deserve any.
