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

    Need to step up the food. Chicken was dry in the salad. The staff was extremely awsome though.

    The chicken was sooo good!! 😍 But we ordered rice as a side and I wouldn’t recommend it, it tasted like plastic 😭. Also we went around noon, almost all the tables were REALLY dirty.
