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.

    Underrated chicken place. The braised they do on it is unlike any of the other chicken places around. My favorite is the family meal packs where you get tortillas, sides, and some really tasty guacamole salsa. I like to peel the chicken apart and make little tacos with the tortillas. My only complaint is the mashed potatoes and most of the sides are pretty bland, but the gravy makes up for it.

    Walking into this place it smelled so good. The staff was kind and the atmosphere was great and relaxing. The food came out to us fast and it was delicious! Would be returning. Sadly forgot to take photos. Next time I will 😋

    We drove through the drive thru at 9:20pm (closes at 10pm) to pick up four meals, the total would have been $65. We started to order when they told us they were out of chicken. Ummm. How are you out of chicken when that’s the main item on your menu.

    Found bones in my burrito. It's been a while since I ate here because I found bones in the food. Decided to try it again the other night and got another bone in my burrito.

    I really like this chain, but this location was a huge letdown. I had to wait an extra 10 minutes in the drive thru, and they still messed up my order 🤦🏻‍♀️
