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 El Paso, TX, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Many customers reported that the chicken was often dry, overcooked, and lacked flavor, with complaints about small portion sizes.
Service Experience
While some reviews praised the friendly and attentive staff, others highlighted issues with order accuracy and management's response to complaints.

Customer Satisfaction

01/07/26 Was our first time here. They close at 10, we got there around 9:20 and they had chairs up. We decided to eat there and they were cleaning as we ate. There were a few people in the building when we sat down. Notice one of the female employees with an AirPod make a sound as if she was bothered that another family came in to get food. Nothing special about the food. Manager was counting the register in front of everyone without locking the doors. Big security risk.
I do not recommend.

I did not like the service at all. The lady tamhat took my order was so rude. She didn't even offer to explain the menu and was annoyed by me asking questions about it. The chicken was not even that good either. Bot coming back for me

Went when they first opened. They were SOO busy but all staff was friendly and my order was correct. Seeing other comments about napkins on the floor and what not is silly. Give a new establishment some grace people. You know how this city is - a new place opens and the whole city goes!

Ordene la creamy chipotle quesadilla ; venía sin el chipotle, pedí la salsa y se tardaron más de 5 min en darme una salsa de chipotle que no le pusieron a la quesadilla y atendieron a los demás
Aparte la quesadilla ni tenía queso y pollo !
La pura tortilla
Se puede decir que es tex Méx !
Está bien para venir a comer por primera vez pero la verdad no vuelvo a venir
