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 Tucson,AZ, 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 940 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.2 stars. Price $

Get your act together El Pollo Loco!! I only order the Double Chicken Avocado Salad – I love that dang salad! But for the 2nd time in a year I was given something else – a bowl maybe. But I didn’t discover the mistake until I opened my order – about an hour later. So disappointed. And that poor slimy little avocado slice – nasty!! You may not have lost a customer…yet, but I will be a PITA ensuring that you got my order right. And that the poor lonely little avocado slice is still green.

Used a coupon on the app and was told I needed to complete that as a separate purchase. 5 individuals in the group and makes no sense we need to complete the way stayed by the cashier. He was very impersonal, and he did not listen to the members of the party to order. Took multiple times repeating to get the order accurate. On a positive note, the cashier did verify the order until it was entered correctly.

Another blast from childhood. I keep trying all the new menu items they have and realize that if I would just stick to the chicken, rice and beans I would be much happier. Except the Mac and cheese. That is a good addition to the menu!

Today I walked in at opening put in a huge food order to feed 100 people and the team was on it! The manager was welcoming inviting and kind, it honestly appeared everyone enjoyed their job! It was honestly such an awesome experience and I am truly grateful for the kind hospitality. The food packaged perfectly and incredibly thought out. This location will be my new go to for catering! Whoever’s in charge here needs a raise or a paid vacation he truly is a leader.

First time at El Pollo Loco. Ordered a burrito and found it hot, fresh and so filling. Chips were fresh as was the salsa verde. I wish SW Florida would get this chain!!! They would do well there.
