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 Mesa,AZ, 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 862 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.1 stars. Price $

Ordered pozole & shredded beef and chicken grillers. Pozole is packed with flavor, loaded with chicken, hominy and fresh home made ingredients. It was a little on the spicy side for my taste buds but remarkably delicious. I could taste the tomatillos, garlic, onions, and chiles. They forgot the lime but it’s all good. The burrito grillers came with a side a dipping red sauce. The heat was mild and house flavors noted. I recommend not ordering the chicken as it’s dry. Overall great experience! Friendly & clean establishment.

I had become so disappointed in the El Pollo Loco restaurants in Arizona. The quality was simply not standing up to the experience I’ve had with franchises in California. That is until I found this one.

Was there last night. Had a great experience, everyone was polite, food was great. The drinks were a bit flat but they were able to resolve the issue for me. The staff and Manager were real attentive

Can’t give a rating on the food because I wasn’t served. I stood at the register for about 5 minutes with my credit card in hand and made eye contact with at least 2 employees who couldn’t be bothered to take my order. It was not crowded or busy at/around 8:15 pm.

A little disappointed ! Not as tasty as my memory serves me! Chicken was just “Okay” and lacked the seasoning, flavor, and juiciness that it once had, say about 10 years ago. The chili and salsas were still fairy good flavored and spicy. However the Pico de Gallo and the Coleslaw were not fresh at all, probably now out of a bag or a canned product. And the rice was over cooked as well. Too bad, I really had fond memories of getting some El Loco Pollo!! Well at least my pics good (lol)!

Disappointed in quality of food. Loved this place in the 90’s. Chicken was cold and tough, beans had no flavor. Guy at counter didn’t offer any sauces. I returned a hummingbird size wing and they threw it back on grill.

Been to this location before was very good with the staff in past, this time was horrible!!. The chicken was bland, over cooked. 3 piece meal and literally got 3 bites out of all that. Rice was dry, and corn was undercooked. For as much as they charge you think they would do better. Tried call and they hung up soon as found out was a complaint. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!!!!

The staff can’t handle three customers inside the store I have to wait 10 minutes before somebody ask me if I need any help. They seems like focusing about drive-through customers first. Hire people can move and get the job done please
