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 Merced,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.

Went in last Tuesday 2/24/3026 ordered on app, Food was Exceptional, especially the Chicken Burrito, the crispy chicken tacos were Great, food was done right on time, staff was Fantastic, Friendly & Attentive. Liked it so much, we went in again on Tuesday, 3/3/2026 again the food was EXCELLENT, Fresh & Great Tasting, the staff was Amazing & Quick. Had a minor issue, but I called & spoke with ANNETTE & her Customer Service Skills & caring about her guests is PHENOMENAL. Thank you, Annette for making us feel valued as customers. Now, your customers for life. Abel Mireles

I ordered ahead of time through the app which offered me 15% off my entire order. I ordered 2 double chicken avocado salads for my mom and I. They had it ready under 9 minutes from when I placed the order to when I got to the store. There’s Bilingual customer service( spanish & English ), Real friendly cashier named Gricelda. Fast efficient service in the drive through and walk in. Face masks are required. Very clean store, bathrooms are clean they do need toilet seat covers, toilet paper and paper towels because they had at least toilet paper everything else was out, when my mom when to use the restroom there was just enough toiletpaper for her because it was so busy. But I’m most impressed with their food, efficiency and service. Delicious meal for both my mom and I! Thank you good job guys!
I just went back today, the food was good but the cashier who had no name badge was not friendly with anyone. She looked miserable, which is your having a bad day I get.. but switch places with someone. I was afraid to ask her to use my mobile app so I wouldn’t bother her. Lately.. no one there had a friendly demeanor.. you can tell through the drive through they hate it. But at least the food is good. I’d rather go somewhere else if I want good service… for that cost. I spent over $40 for 2 people.

The presentation has been unacceptable!!
Three times our orders was messed up!
Shredded chicken tacos drenched with cheese — lots of toppings ! They even missed my side order of chips which was paid!
Won’t recommend this place – they should be honest with orders- even if we don’t check!

Ordered a pollo bowl of chicken only because I cannot have carbs. The lady taking my order was rude as if she didn’t understand what I was asking for. A pollo bowl with only chicken, cilantro, onions and salsa.
What she handed to me looked like a dog ate half of my meal and regurgitated on it and that’s my meal. I paid full price for a pollo bowl!!
WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS LOCATION EVER.

The last few times I’ve been here the chicken is dried up and very small portions. Definitely not as good as it once was. Customer service was awful.

We have been there three times in three weeks. For some strange reason they keep forgetting one of our drinks. A side from this the food is delicious.

Excellent Service! Food was great, not extremely fond of the straight pinto beans but from the salsa’s to the chicken, awesome! Service was very accommodating, even with my last minute requests.

What can I say? This place is more expensive than KFC, but for me the spicy guacamole sauce makes it worth it. Today I tried the double avaocado chicken bowl and red sauce tamal. At $3 a tamal I have to say I was a bit disappointed. The tamal was dry and not enough meat for the price. The masa had good flavor so that’s a plus. The chicken bowl was delicious. The meat, beans, rice and avocado had great flavor. Highly recommend.
