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

    Just got my order from the drive thru, got home and all the food is cold. My quesadilla doesn't even have the cheese melted. And it seems like the tortillas weren't even heated up. $30 for cold uncooked food!
