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 Reno,NV, 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 688 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.3 stars. Price $

I got the pollo bowl for only five dollars plus tax so very reasonable. I bring my own bottle of water because I do not drink any sodas. You can save on a lot of sugar and calories if you do this.

I already sounded off on the app via Google play… Let me follow up with the RESTAURANT. The N. MCCARRAN… Right across the Planet Fitness in NW Reno… Zip Code 89503. NOT SURE WHAT’S MORE ANNOYING… THE POOR APP OR THE INCOMPETENT STAFF/MANAGEMENT. I’ve spent my fair share of money at not just this but most Pollo Loco’s in the area. CLEARLY I HAVE TO START COOKING AT HOME… Duh! But for me to not even get the drink offered to me for free after I explained what was happening and with over 16,000 pts redeemable on the app… that both manager and employee saw… the drink should have at least been free for all the trouble we all want through. I still have those 16k points don’t believe I’ll be using/needing after all.

I’m not a big fast food person, but because of their ads & how good they make the food look, we were really looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, what a let down. The chicken looked like it had been on a starvation diet compared to the ads! Maybe partially because I presume they pound it flat. What little meat there was, was dry but ok, but the skin was so tough around the edges, we couldn’t chew it. I expected more flavor, but everything was pretty bland. The only thing we liked was the corn.

My most recent visit was a reminder why I hadn’t been going for a while the quality has dropped in this location in the last 2 years we know the name and it’s definitely better in Texas and California what’s happened with this location older rice and meat taste less protein in your orders dryer chicken in a family meals turnovers with staff. That’s all for now

Birria tacos were probably the blandest food I’ve ever had.

When I walked in to order my food, I was looked at by more than three people that were working there and it wasn’t very good looks, I felt like I walked into a place I should not have and I did not feel welcome. The young man who took my order was pleasant, I got my food thrown on the counter, and I was waiting for somebody to call my number nobody came by. As my food sat on the counter nobody checked it nobody called my number!! I finally asked if that was my food a lady said yes. It was a very bad experience for me. I did nothing to deserve the looks or the service such as just leaving it on the counter and not calling my number or even caring if it was even there.
