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

    Unauthentic nasty food. Everything was bad from the stale chewy rice, prison style beans, and slimy chicken. The dine in area is disgusting complimenting its disgusting staff.

    A 12-piece meal with 3 small sides is $47.00. We thought we were getting 12 pieces of chicken, but what we actually recieved was 12 pieces of cut up portions of chicken. This tiny leg is 1 piece and the breast was cut into 3 or 4. Very disappointing. Save yourself some money and just buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.

    dried out chicken, "tacos al carbon" is not, it's street tacos, the salsa bar looked iffy and that's probably what made us sick. Diarrhea kicked in the following morning, felt nauseous all day but at least we didn't get painful cramps. That's a big Nope.
