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

    I’m disappointed with my recent visit to this location on 12/27. This restaurant is farther from my home, but I usually enjoy the food and service enough to make the trip. Unfortunately, during my last three visits, I’ve ordered churros and each time they were over-fried and missing the cinnamon sugar coating. On 12/27, I mentioned this issue when placing my order and specifically asked that cinnamon sugar be added. The employee who took my order assured me she would personally take care of it. When I got home, I found that the churros were once again missing the coating. I called the store and spoke with the assistant manager on duty, who offered a full refund or a meal replacement. I told her I only wanted a refund for the churros, as everything else in the order was correct. She said she would process it, but nothing has been done so far. I’ve tried calling back to follow up, but no one answers and the voicemail box is full. I usually don’t make a big deal over things of this nature because things happen, but experiencing the same issue three times and then being unable to resolve it afterward is frustrating and not acceptable. With the cost of everything continuing to go up, every hard-earned dollar matters, and it’s unfair when the quality and accuracy of the order do not reflect the price paid.

    Acudimos por un bowl mixto con queso, en combo y por un par de piezas de pollo con arroz y frijoles con tortillas de maiz. Baños limpios.
