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

    This restaurant is one of the best fast-food options because the roasted chicken is very good. It comes in combos that include fries, tortillas, and sauces, and you can choose from several side dishes. I usually order corn and salad, although there are many other options. I always order takeout and I recommend it. Plus, they often have coupons that make the meal more affordable. It's not a fancy place; it's a fast-food restaurant, perfect for a quick meal.

    The first time the food was good and I just ordered an avocado bowl today for lunch around 2pm and the chicken seemed microwaved and not fresh. Currently suffering stomach issues too after eating the food from here 😖 don’t recommend

    Love love Pollo Loco! I come here pretty often. The chicken taste fresh and the sides are tasty. The service is always great and I have the coupons on the app so they come in handy. As long as they continue making the chicken tasty I'll keep coming!
