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 Elk Grove,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 656 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 3.7 stars. Price $

I had to go to THIS El Pollo Loco TO GET NOT ONLY GOOD SERVICE BUT DAMN GOOD FOOD! The chicken was nice and hot and fresh and tender!!!! They need to send these workers from Folsom Blvd to the one on Stockton Blvd (South Sacramento) to show them how it’s done right! They even gave me coupons for my next visit! This is my new place to eat! Yummy! Fresh and hot!

I have visited this El Pollo Loco location numerous times and finally can share a thorough review. Food—consistently fresh, tastes great, healthier grilled version instead of fried. Service—professional, polite, friendly, reasonably fast.

This location is just not good every time I come which is at least 2 times a month. The order is almost always incorrect/missing items and the customer service is really poor at the pickup counter. Curbside service also takes a long time and when I’ve gone inside to receive the order I’m usually ignored at the counter or given attitude.

Last time I’ll eat at this location. I love their wraps along with a side guacamole and chips. I’ve been to this location about 5 times and all but one has been horrible with the guacamole. The guacamole they give me is about 3 large chunks of avocado shoved into a bowl. Do these idiots realize that avocado is NOT guacamole? That avocado is only one of the ingredients? Absolutely horrible service to actually give this out, especially with what they are charging for GUACAMOLE.

The best chips and guacamole in town!! Also the chicken here is always so juicy unlike other locations, and double chicken tostadas are always such a go to meal.

Normally I have a good experience here, but today they were out of the mango salsa for the fit bowl I wanted. No big deal, so I ordered a different fit bowl, then ordered a bowl for my boyfriend. I asked if it was possible to add spinach to it, and was told that they were out of spinach… Which is a key ingredient of the bowl I ordered, but the order taker didn’t mention. We got our order without forks or napkins (in the drive thru!), which would have been pretty problematic if we hadn’t been heading home. My bowl was pretty substandard – there was, of course, no spinach on my bowl either; just a bunch of iceberg lettuce, and some of that was pretty soft. Neither of our bowls seemed to have been made with care, and we both felt that they tasted substandard. I’m not sure why our visit last night seemed so off from what I usually expect, but I hope that things will be better the next time I go, because the bowls really are good when made properly!

So I just went there & I am very disappointed with this location. I love El Pollo Loco normally, but this time not so much. The avocados in my wrap were brown. The red salsa taste bad & the lettuce that comes with the wrap was wilted, slimy, & brown.. Gross! I ate most of it, but it wasn’t very good..
