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

Pollo loco is always good! First time in this location while visit my family. Not many customers were at the restaurant at the time that we went, but maybe because it was early. The staff was friendly. The food was yummy, the salsa was also very good! I had a chicken bowl and it did not disappoint. Everyone should give this place a try at least once! 🤤

We ordered 2 guacamole queso chicken burritos through grubhub. I cut my burrito in half and right away noticed there was very little chicken. Between the both of us we might have had a couple of bites of chicken each. I can't even review what it tasted like. Once I realized I was only getting bites of rice and beans I started taking pictures as I do review quite often. The guacamole had a great flavor, but the salsa verde was just watery, garlicky, and had no spice whatsoever. Was it because this was a bogo deal and that was how they adjusted for their cost? Otherwise, this would've cost $26 for the food only.

My first time visiting here and I used the drive thru. The server was impatient to me because I had never eaten here. When I asked about an item, she was very short. Sorry, I won't be back there. I was craving this food but just don't eat out too often.

The food is decent, but my order is always wrong. When you’re going to pay over $20 for fast food, you should be able to expect to receive what you ordered. 1 time is a mistake, 2 times is a fluke, but 3 times is a pattern. Don’t go here.
