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 Lakewood, CO, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Always love being greater by their amazing staff! They are all so friendly and welcoming. The chicken is fantastic! But make sure to eat it right away, I made the mistake of driving it home about 20 min away and the texture became rubbery. But this time we ate it at the parking lot and it was so crispy and perfectly juicy and smoky. Thank you for the great experience!

Love this place! The food always tastes fresh and delicious. Sal, the manager is very nice and committed to ensuring everything done right. I was thrilled when a childhood favorite from California made a Colorado comeback and have not been disappointed.

This was the worst experience in any restaurant I've ever had. It doesn't matter how good the food is. If you're treated poorly from the moment you walk in the door and then the food close to 45 minutes before it was received, while the guy kept helping everybody in the drive through and letting everybody up front, just sit there. Won't be back and by the looks of itThe people in the lobby won't either

When I arrived at Pollo Loco in Lakewood to pick up dinner. The door was locked thinking it closes at 10 pm
The manager was nice enough to let me in to take my order. I really appreciate it 😊
