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 Paso Robles,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 829 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.0 stars. Price $

Stopped in on my trip for a Taco and salad and was happy to see the place was clean and inviting. The service was great and the food was delicious!!

The chicken is pretty good but on the pricey side. It is okay for once in a while, like every 9 years or so.

We ordered the chicken dinners to go and we were not disappointed! The chicken tasted fresh! It was juicy and flavorful! The sides were fresh and made to order. They were out of potatoes and gravy so we order macaroni and cheese. It was so yummy! We stopped going to Pollo Loco for a while because the chicken was dry and tasteless. They must be under new management or something because it is not the same restaurant. It’s 100 percent better! Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Employees were very rude and inconsiderate and racist. I walked in there to try order some food and they employees were all in the kitchen staring at me. Did not attend to me and I stood there for almost 5 minutes. They all need to take a training about good consumer services.

Holes in the ceiling – wallpaper peeling off the wall – water leaking onto the floor from beverage dispenser – fallen food on the ground – flies – what happened to this place? Food is relatively good and inexpensive.

Stopped for lunch break, waited 20 plus minutes for my food with only a person or 2 in front of me. Really will not be going here again. The burrito I ordered was completely split down the middle but because I opened it in my truck and had spent my entire lunch break waiting on the 2 items I got, I had no time to go back in and get another. Was a mess and was clearly wrapped up after splitting open. Also had to physically remove 2 pieces of unchewable chicken from my mouth that were in burrito. Terrible experience. Go anywhere but here, seriously.

The restaurant smells of the restroom deodorizer! Really gross when you try to eat and it tastes like the deodorizer. Cashier is not friendly. The Mexican rice tasted like orange juice. The chicken is very gamy.
