What People Are Saying About El Pollo Loco
Featured Review

In Short – This restaurant's first roadside chicken stand opened up in Guasave, Mexico in 1975. A family-inspired recipe of chicken marinated in herbs, spices and citrus juices was an overnight success and the Mexican chain opened its first American location in Los Angeles in 1980. Ever since, customers have been devouring the house specialty--zesty flame-grilled chicken served with tortillas and fresh salsa. Other menu options include pollo bowls (rice and chicken), salads and quesadillas.

pollo loco eat at your own Risk
by roberto1973
If you are used to eating out a lot and eating fast food then pollo loco is for you
Pollo loco chicken is of the lowest quality their chicken is the worst, they use a lot of spices and add tons of salt to cover up the fact that their chicken is low quality.
All their dishes are of low quality that's why they can afford to sell for cheap you get what you pay for. Don't use your stomach as a trash can, you are when you eat at pollo trash loco You want high quality young chickens and all their dishes are of high quality try Boston Market .

Good alternative to KFC
by intlfoods
If you're not into fried chicken anytime soon, this is a great choice. In general, all El Pollo Loco's are the same in terms of taste. The value's definitely a plus where you get more than just chicken for a few bucks. This particular location gets real busy because it's located right in front of Pasadena City College. It's very hard to find a place to park if you go on peak time, especially at lunch time, parking is shared with 4 other fast food chains.
- Pros: food, value

Good Pollo
by GoofyGurl
El Pollo Loco is a a great place to eat if you love grilled chicken. It's better than KFC because the chicken is not fried. The chicken is great and the salsa and beans are always fresh.The tortillas are also great too.You can also take the chicken to a picnic.
