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.

    It was my first time going during lunch and that Asian lady was very disrespectful and treats customers very bad. I definitely did not enjoy it and don't think I'm coming back. Which is sad because I heard good things about pollo loco but didn't get that experience today. Hopefully management does something about this.
