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

    Best customer service so far here in Houston. Came in a bit late since we had to stay in town and finish a commercial roofing job. Walked in at 9:45pm and miss Guadalupe other hypnotizing me with her eyes had the best attitude. Even though they were about to close all the crew hooked me up with the best dinner for my guys
