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 Folsom,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 556 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 3.8 stars. Price $

They cooked the chicken just right. I asked for moist chicken so I would not get dry pieces Their guacamole is far better than Chili’s and they cooked their vegetables just right. The place is clean and well kept as is their bathrooms. The employees at the counter did a great job!

The place is always clean and tidy. I usually go in through the front, but now I like to use the Drive Thru for its speed. I often see that they’re busy, and occasionally they make mistakes, but the supervisor José Morales always resolves them kindly. He’s a very good guy, always in control of things, and makes an effort to satisfy the customers. Additionally, he’s always in all areas, ensuring that his employees are doing well. He deserves a raise.

Great tasting healthy food at an affordable price! Tried El Pollo Loco after moving to Sacramento and now go once a week. Great service by Andrew, as well! He is the definition of customer service. He can read people and tell if youre in a hurry or need a food recommendation. Thanks to Andrew and the great food, I’ll be back again (and likely once a week)!
