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

    Excellent Service! The food was great. I ordered the Queso Guacamole Burrito & it was huge & delicious. They even had Mac & Cheese that our 1 year old ate & loved. Definitely will be returning.

    The food was good, made fresh. We got the family meal 12pc. It came with 3 large sides. Drinks were not included which I disagree with. For $50 I think drinks should be included. The cashier was pretty rude, and ignorant. It was pretty dirty, there was napkins all over the place. Soft drink area was dirty and lots of food from previous customers on the floor.
