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

    So i got the 3 peice chicken meal and to my surprise it was actually good especially since it was my first time trying this place. The flour tortillas are good especially when using to soak up gravy from mash potatoes. The Mac and cheese is very good and cheesy.

    I would like to share an experience I had at your restaurant. When my son and I arrived, we discovered that the dining area was closed due to remodeling. I had already parked my car in the restaurant parking lot. I noticed there were pickup tables outside, which gave the impression that customers could still order food and wait outside. My son and I walked around the building and approached the drive-thru window to place an order. I asked if I could order food, but the employee told me that she could not serve me because I was not in a vehicle. I explained that my car was parked in your parking lot and that I had walked over because the restaurant was under construction. I also suggested that I could place my order and wait outside at the pickup tables until it was ready. However, I was still refused service. I understand that drive-thru policies may exist, but I found it very disappointing that customers were not offered an alternative way to order while the restaurant was being remodeled and the dining room was unavailable. As a customer, I felt frustrated and unwelcome. I simply wanted to purchase food for my son and myself, and I believe there could have been a more reasonable solution under the circumstances. Thank you for taking the time to review my feedback. I’m really sad; I usually buy my lunch there once or twice a week, but I’ll never go back because of the poor treatment. 5:46 pm 06/08/2026
