While some things have changed over the last few decades, El Pollo Loco's commitment to 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 Henderson,NV, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
1st time there. The Food was OK. Kind off small portions.

This is the first review I’ve ever written. I visited around 1:30 PM on Monday, June 8, and was extremely disappointed with the food I received. I ordered a quesadilla, and for $8, I expected much better quality and portion size.
The quesadilla appeared to be cut very poorly and looked messy when I received it. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a picture before eating part of it. After taking a closer look, I found that each piece had barely any chicken in it only about two tiny pieces per slice, each no bigger than my pinky finger.
As you can see from the pictures, one piece had only a tiny amount of chicken and barely any sauce or cheese. It honestly looked like there was only a few cents’ worth of ingredients in that piece. For the price, the portion was unacceptable and felt like a complete rip off.
I left feeling disappointed and would not expect this level of quality for what I paid.

They cut their chicken breast in half, the chicken wing was very small & it was dried out. I've never been given a breast that was cut in half before......I don't even know if they can do that & ask for the same full price 🤬! The cashier gave me 4 napkins for 3 meals & when I asked for a few more napkins because the beans spilled out of the container, she gave us 2 more. My sister did enjoy her chicken 🐔 burrito, we will never, ever return to this location.
