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 Sacramento,CA, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Fast-food chain outpost known for Mexican classics made with fire-grilled chicken. Based on 686 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 3.8 stars. Price $

The location on Folsom is garbage. The chicken is dry just about every time I went there and there portions for the price is ridiculous. Every other location I’ve gone to rocks over this one. This food in the picture was $14.12. I have small hands to give you an idea of how small it is. Also NO napkins in the bag…

I ordered the double chicken tostada. It was more like a regular chicken with a double price. The guy in the drive-thru window was rude. The food was almost bland except for the salty chicken breast pieces. The cilantro sauce was disappointing. Portion was sad. Hardly any rice or beans. Lots of lettuce. Great if you’re a starving rabbit!

Used coupons for even better prices, and the double chicken tostada is a salad that is so delicious and filling. Too bad soda has gone up to 2.99 for a small, but that seems to be the norm nowadays, which is robbery!

It was my first time going to an El Pollo Loco. We had the combo bowl meal, very tasty. I tried the Bradshaw/Micron location a week later, not as good as the Folsom Blvd location.
