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 Fort Worth,TX, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Customers generally praised the food for being delicious and fresh, particularly the chicken, though some noted inconsistencies in portion sizes and flavor.

Food was delicious however we had to wait a while before we had our order taken
Half the tables were actually dirty and there was one of the staff members on break listening to reels on max volume. Horrible experience but food was good and hot.

All of these stores seem to be very location specific when it comes to quality. This branch is aggressively mediocre. I've had some El Pollo that was absolute fire and this place was just average with the same above average prices. Chicken was good but the portions offered were very small. My burrito was full of just about everything but chicken. I was not stoked and won't be returning to this location again.
