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 Stockton,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 732 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.1 stars. Price $

Chicken was a little bit too crispy. The bowls were delicious. Shredded chicken and cheese bowl was pretty good. The avocado salsa is always awesome. The girl at the register did not speak any English. I was able to just give her a coupon and point out my sides. Good place for grilled chicken for sure

Excellent customer service and delicious food. The street corn double chicken chopped salad was absolutely amazing. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and prepared. I love every bite.

It’s been years since we’ve eaten El Pollo Loco (we lived in Oregon). On our road trip, we stopped by this location and it did not disappoint. Everything was delicious, the service was great and we would definitely go back again.

This place serves some awesome chicken with tortilla and my favorite Serrano chili’s. Their sides are not too bad. I like their salad and their salsas.

RUDE STAFFS. So, today 5/5/2023 Friday, we just dined-in at 4:15pm about a few hours ago. After we finished eating, we went to the front counter and asked for a “TO-GO BOX” “ 2 Rice Lids” & a “Plastic Bag” for our left overs. There are 2 ladies at the counter who are busy talking about some personal stuffs, they appeared or pretended not to understand what we’re asking for!!!!!! BOTH of the CREATURES ARE RUDE and had a BLANK STARE BECAUSE WE SEEMED TO INTERRUPT THEIR PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS!!!!!!!! I ASKED THEM REPEATEDLY THAT THEY DINT HAVE “TO-GO BOXES” FOR FOOD??????? I WAS LITERALLY POINTING AT THOSE TO GO BOXES!!!!!! AND THEY KEPT SAYING “NO, WE DON’T HAVE THAT”!!!!!!!!! But the other SARCASTIC GUY stepped up and gave me the BOX FOR OUR LEFT OVER FOOD. THOSE TWO CREATURES GAVE US A HARD TIME THAT WE HAD TO COME BACK AT THE FRONT COUNTER TWICE AND ASK FOR “TO-GO BOX” “ 2 Rice Lids” & a “Plastic Bag” for our left overs!!!!!!!! THOSE CREATURES UNDERSTAND ENGLISH CAUSE THEY CLEARLY RESPONDED IN AMERICAN ACCENT BUT JUST CARELESS AND WANTED TO GO ABOUT AND CONTINUE THEIR PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE FROM THE BAY AREA, WE TRAVEL AND DROVE FAR ONCE A MONTH TO CHECK UP ON OUR RENTAL PROPERTY IN STOCKTON. WE JUST WANT TO EAT IN PEACE. OUR FAMILY DON’T BOTHER NOBODY. BUT I AM SO DISGUSTED WITH THOSE LAZY CREATURES!!!!!!!! IF THERES A BELOW ZERO -0 FOR THE RATING, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THAT!!!!!!!!! I HOPE THE OWNER DOESN’T ALLOW THEM TO BE LIKE THIS BECAUSE BOTH OF THEM ARE WAY TOO TOO TOO COMFORTABLE TO DISREGARD THEIR JOBS AND CUSTOMERS!!!!!!!!

This El Pollo Loco’s got the worst churros. I initially thought it was that particular morning (morning’s oil should be fresh and new right?) but went in again to see if it’ll be better. Same, had it replaced, same. Burnt, nothing fluffy like traditional mexican churros thats bready on inside. The oil is bad and they cook it for too long! They need to check on their recipe or Way they cook. Its like overly cooked crisps with dark oil. Ive tried other El Pollo Loco’s and theirs are perfect like how a real mexican churro should be. Bold, light colored and bready on inside.

Truly nothing special about the food I got a Baja bowling at way too much pinto beans and the chicken was unseasoned
