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 Concord,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 838 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.2 stars. Price $

I think this place has fairly good food for what it is… I was disappointed last time I was there though. Ordered the go to chicken nachos. It’s previously been great, and an exceptional value as well at $5. However, they decided to change the specs on the nachos to “shredded chicken “, rather than just chopped chicken. What I received was an almost inedible product. I think the “shredded chicken ” must be sitting in a steam table with water added to keep it moist. But, imagine what happens when you put a soggy product on tortilla chips… I think of nachos as finger food, but basically what you get is something that requires utensils and doesn’t have much flavor. El Pollo Loco, I’ve enjoyed your food in the past, but can no longer support your business.

4/19/23 Was feeling lazy and ordered El Pollo Loco to go. I had the Keto burrito and it was pretty good. I also had order the corn. For some reason this batch of corn on this day seemed to me to be under cooked. It’s usually nice and cooked, but this time it felt under cooked. I even heated it up in the microwave and it was still the same. I wonder it was because there was lack of “gravy” with the corn or it was the corn itself. The flour tortillas are always good. Such a great deal and last a lot longer than the ones at Trader Joe’s even if they’re in the refrigerator. I hope the corn being bad was a one time thing.

Today we experienced El Pollo Loco like it was meant to be. Fresh, hot and there. We safely enjoyed our meal and we were definitely satisfied.

Nice helpful patient ladies work here in the evening, good food made fast, took coupons, gave me extra sauce, that’s why we cross town to come eat at this location. Clean lobby and bathrooms, hardly any uncouth customers, in fact most are very nice courteous people. We’ll be back again and again, easy.

I was disappointed in the app to order on line. I wouldn’t complete the order and I had to go into the store. To give the staff the benefit, I will say my order was not as I intended.
