El Pollo Loco came all the way from Mexico to the USA in 1980. With its Mexican roots and food, El Pollo Loco gained a lot of appreciation and fan base. All of their family recipes passed down from generations to make the most delicious chicken.
What sets El Pollo Loco apart from other restaurants is its dedication. All ingredients that El Pollo Loco uses are absolutely fresh, and sauces are made daily by the hands of their talented chefs. That should be enough for any Mexican cuisine lover to give them a try.

Popular Items On El Pollo Loco Menu
A soft flour tortilla covering the yummiest chicken and veggies makes a Queso Guacamole Chicken Burrito at El Pollo Loco. The way veggies and warm queso sauce crawl out of the burrito in every bite, and into your mouth, you will just fall in love with how soft it feels.
On top of that, the chewy bite of chicken is so satisfying to chew. With flavours of fresh handmade guacamole, pinto beans and freshly prepared salsa fresca, you will lose yourself in a world of sweet and smoky flavours, and you wouldn’t want to come back from it.
One order of Queso Guacamole Chicken Burrito also includes chips, salsa, and a regular drink on the side. While a drink is helpful in digesting, I don’t see the point of chips. Only a beast could eat anything after El Pollo Loco’s Queso Guacamole Chicken Burrito.
4pc Fire-Grilled Chicken Meal is one of the most popular items at El Pollo Loco because it satisfies your meat cravings with the juiciest and thickest chicken you will ever eat. Plus, you get 4 pieces, so it’s definitely a couple’s meal.
You cannot and should not eat a whole order of 4pc Fire-Grilled Chicken Meal alone. It’s hearty and even has tortillas with 2 sides of your choice. Chips and salsa are also served with a chicken meal. All this makes me wonder about the kind of appetite Mexicans have.
Looking for something to munch on? Try Shredded Chicken Nachos at El Pollo Loco. These crispy tortilla chips with soaked sour cream already taste so good but still, you have to dip them in salsa and creamy queso blanco you are served.
Because I guarantee you, the pico de gallo topped on these nachos will turn a salty nacho into a tangy and a little spicy munch of fun. If you’re ever looking for a light snack at El Pollo Loco, this is it.
Not all salads have to be boring. The Classic Chicken Tostada is many things, but nobody can call it boring. Mostly everyone has only positive things to say about this salad. It is served in a bowl-shaped crispy tostada shell holding all the more interesting veggies of the salad.
On a bed of veggies, there’s a citrus-marinated chicken with chopped romaine-lettuce blend. This is the first combination of Classic Chicken Tostada Salad, and it will blow your mind with its mix of smoky and sweet flavours. Furthermore, the creamy cilantro dressing on the top adds a certain peppery gravy.
All this without the numerous refreshing veggies like pinto beans, rice, jack cheese, and much more. So think about El Pollo Loco’s Classic Chicken Tostada Salad next time, before you underestimate salads.
You know you’re going to leave the restaurant with a full belly when you look at the thick Chipotle Guacamole Chicken Burrito. This big burrito with the mushiest tortilla you’d have ever seen will fit right into your palm. Hold with both hands though, you wouldn’t want it to spill.
This might be the only negative thing about Chipotle Guacamole Chicken Burrito that its too soft even for its own stuffings. Otherwise, no other burrito can match the Chipotle Guacamole Chicken Burrito in terms of taste.
A smokey piece of chicken covered in mildly spicy chipotle sauce just adds to the nuttiness of avocado, making this burrito a delight for the palate.
Two corn tortillas containing fire-grilled thigh meat, onions, and cilantro make a Chicken Taco al Carbon. I know it’s simpler than other El Pollo Loco menu items, but that’s what makes it stand out.
Even with such less ingredients, Chicken Taco Al Carbon is extremely flavorful and delicious. First off, you will fall in love with how juicy and chewy the meat is.
Then, secondly, you will fall in love all over again with the lemony taste of cilantro slathered all over the tortillas and the meat. The best word to explain this combination of grilled meat and cilantro in Chicken Taco Al Carbon would be “impressive.”
The El Pollo Loco Macaroni & Cheese will be the first Mac & Cheese that will make a slurping sound when you eat it. Even though it is served with elbow macaroni like any other, the quantity of melted cheese “yumm” will act as gravy. It’s so soupy that I suggest you eat it with a spoon instead of a fork.
Once you have had your meal at El Pollo Loco, it wouldn’t hurt to have a Mexican-style sweet dish. Well, the churros aren’t exactly counted as a sweet dish, but I would definitely call them as such.
The Churros are just so chewy and topped with little sprinkles of cinnamon sugar and are warmed perfectly. What this perfect warmth does is that it makes the Churros feel like they’re melting in your mouth, leaving the sugary taste all around.
