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

    Hector is amazing, there was an issue with my husband’s points on the app. And he fixed it and gave us our meal hot and ready.

    It’s 2025 and yall don’t have chicken. We pull up, go inside wait 3 minutes for someone to take our order only for them to say we only have bowls and burritos. So yall don’t know how to properly order enough food to run a restaurant? Highly disappointed- if you’re going to eat here please make sure you call ahead.
