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

    My wife and I walked in and the cashier did not greet or smile at us when we walked up to order. She look at us like a deer in the headlights without a word or sound. My wife asked her if she was ready to take our order and she still can't comprehend on how to do so. My question is to the hiring manager, How do you hire these people that barely speak English and have ZERO customer service skills? We showed her a 8 peice meal deal for $20 with the QR code for her to scan during the superbowl weekend and the incompetent non english cashier choose 10 peice instead even after showing her the coupon, then she wants to tell us that the coupon is not working, we'll DUH! Sherlock because you put in a 10 piece instead of an 8 peice deal. Even after telling her that she put in a 10 peice instead of an 8 peice, she simply ignored us and had to call her manager for help. You have one job and If the customer is correcting and know what you did wrong, you shouldn't be working as a cashier. Just plain INCOMPETENT!

    My order is frequently incorrect, and when I brought it to the staff’s attention, they were dismissive and gave me an attitude instead of fixing the issue. Poor customer service and very disappointing.
