El Pollo Loco Menu – Denver, CO

While some things have changed over the last few decades, El Pollo Loco’s delivery of fresh, authentic food has not.

We put that same dedication and care into our handmade guacamole, salsas and dressings every day. At El Pollo Loco in Denver, CO, we believe that when real food meets real fire the result is great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.

Love el Pollo loco. I’m glad they open in Denver. Food taste delicious and super fresh!! Got the Guacamole chicken burrito, and signed up for the reward member and got another burrito for free you can’t beat that. Gave 4 starts because employees tend to give the wrong order to people. It happens to me 2 times already. I hope they can correct that issue.. but so far great place to eat grilled fresh chicken!!!

First time at a Pollo Loco. Food at this location was fresh and temperature correct. They do get fairly busy but the wait was acceptable. Ate inside where it was pretty clean considering how busy they were and the staff was friendly. Would definitely eat here again.

I personally have never been a fan. My husband LOVES El Pollo Loco! As a surprise I went and got dinner to go for him. Us. I got an avocado burrito and I have to say it was quite good. Got my husband the 4 piece meal with beans and rice. He loved it. Said it felt old school for him. The line was long in the drive through but that’s okay. The 4 stars is because I was asked 3 times if I wanted to order drinks and chips and guacamole. 1 time is sufficient. Will I be back. Absolutely. Like I said my husband loves this place.

I haven’t eaten here in 10 years but it is every bit as good as I remember. I’m glad they are spreading. I do wish the two chatty girls would serve a bit faster instead of seemingly spreading gossip. Come to Colorado Springs!!!
