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.

I think for a ‘fast food’ restaurant to receive 5 stars, they have to be spectacular in all areas. And this El Pollo Loco is just that.

Whenever I want a quick meal, this is my go-to. The place is generally bright and clean. It also has lots of seats.

Great place for drive thru lunch. The servers are always very polite. Good food and they do a great job with special orders. I am lactose intolerant and they are wonderful at keeping the dairy from my orders.

Service was okay. The young man taking my order was robotic. Food came out quickly, however the chicken was very dried out as you can see in the picture. The sides tasted as though they had been sitting for a while.

The food does not taste like fast food at all. I absolutely love the quality of the food and the portions are really impressive.

For the cost of the food now you would think you would get the same amount as before, wrong. They are giving you less than half and charging way more. Absolutely disgusting business tactics.

When in the area delivering Raz-Air vents to my customers, I love to stop by Pollo Loco and have lunch. They have great service and the food is amazing.

I had eaten at El Polla Loco numerous times in the past and had always enjoyed the experience. But for some reason had not eaten there in quite some time. This visit I considered to be very disappointing.
