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

    Worst salad I ever had! I went through the drive thru and got a double chicken avocado salad. I didn't see it until I got home or else I would've sent it back for a refund. For $14 I got 3 brown avocado slices on top, old brown lettuce, hard, tough chicken cubes and the worst street corn I've ever tasted. I chose the cilantro dressing and it was so spicy I couldn't eat it and I love spicy. After 5 bites, I just couldn't force myself to eat it. Money wasted. I'll never go back.
