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

    La comida no está mal, aunque la relación cantidad precio no coincide, estuve en la locación de 5260 Ft Apache , restaurant # 6100 y la persona que estaba atendiendo el drive thru fue ruda además de incomodarse por tener que pedirle mi recibo de compra, me gusta el sabor de la comida de ellos pero no creo que debamos ser humillados por no dominar a la perfección el idioma inglés, lo más triste es que habían otras personas trabajando y tuve que ver caras risueñas y gestos de indiferencia. Nunca más volveré a esa locación.

    Just left, Absolutely one of the worst El Pollo Locos i have ever been to. The gentlemen behind the counter was the rudest unprofessional individual I’ve ever experienced. After waiting for 15 min I asked him how much longer for a Pollo Bowel and chicken quesadilla. He said 20 to 30 min. I advised him that unfortunately I could not wait that long.and needed to leave. So I asked for a refund. He then Preceded to roll his eyes and tell the other employees “ these people are loosing their patience and want a refund” I advised him it had nothing to do with patience I just thought 30 to 45 min for what I ordered was too long and I had to pick up my daughter at 7. The manager did come and apologize and made my Oder real quick. She was very apologetic but it was clear they had a line of customers waiting extended times for food. With tickets they could not find. Never will return.

    Honestly idk why I keep coming to this location probably because it’s close to home. It never fails every single time I order they forget an item in my order. I’m truly annoyed and won’t be returning to this location in the future that seems like the only fix to this issue. I’m tired of paying for items I never receive.
