El Pollo Loco Menu – Denton, TX

Type : Mexican restaurant

Location : Denton, TX

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 Denton,TX, 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 995 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.0 stars. Price $

Took my niece and nephew to Pollo Loco and the experience we had was incredible. The staff (especially the cook) were super friendly and continuously asked us how we were doing throughout our visit. The cook himself even came out not even 5 minutes after we sat down to explain a possible wait time for our food which we appreciated SO much. Will be coming back and recommending this location to friends and family 🙂

Never been to Pollo Loco before but it was really good. Making a stop on the way to Oklahoma. Service was really good, the wait wasn’t too long, but the grill chicken was taking a little longer. Ala and all it was good.

I’ve eaten here twice this weekend and mad that it has taken so long for us to finally try this place. We have missed out on some pretty tasty and fairly priced fast food. My family of 4 cost just under $30 bucks to eat lunch. McDonald’s can’t even be that! 🙂

So disappointing…Food was awful…for $42 I received dark shredded dry chicken that looked like match sticks in my 3 chicken bowls. My dog did not even want to eat it. Service thru the window was great though. Chips were the best part

Chicken centric items based restaurant, didn’t have any options for vegetarians. Food was just good but kind of over priced, for what it has got to offer.

The food taste pretty good but it is extremely frustrating to eat here. 3 different times I’ve ordered the quesadilla to discover that ingredients are missing. Almost every time we order something is missing. Specifically chips or tortillas. It’s supposed to be convenient to get fast food. I shouldn’t have to inspect everything before I leave.

One of the employees was kinda listening to my friends and my conversation. She said my friend was funny and I said “yeah, funny looking.” Awesome food, great atmosphere, and would totally be friends with whoever she was. 10/10 would recommend.
