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 Salinas,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.

This place SMACKS! It is fantastic, clean, and efficient! The people here were very helpful when I was trying to order and helped me pick out what I really wanted. I got the double chicken bowl and salsa verde quesadilla. I ordered at 6 pm and got my food within a few minutes. I know it’s a chain, but I will vouch for this specific location!

I stopped by this place for a quick meal and was pleasantly surprised. The fire-grilled chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the sides complemented it well. The staff was friendly and efficient, making the experience enjoyable. However, the dining area felt a bit cramped during peak hours, which was a minor drawback. Overall, it’s a solid spot for a tasty and quick meal.

Stopped by El Polko Loco after a long day at The Cut Barbershop and it was exactly what I needed. Great atmosphere, flavorful food, and solid service. Nice place to unwind and reset. I’ll definitely be back.

First time visiting this place, 20 years ago, Pollo Loco was located in East Salinas and wasn’t a chain. So is it still the best chicken in Salinas? Yes, it has the same flavor I remember. Flame grilled no sweet or spicy sauce. However, you will want to eat every bit of tasty skin . So why only 4 stars for the food, to much like a chain restaurant. Very basic sides mashed potatoes, tasty Spanish corn ,steamed broccoli, beans and churros,coleslaw. I got the corn, and it was very tasty, especially with the cilantro cream sauce . The staff was very attentive and polite, always smiling, and told me they are coming to Seaside, Ca. Can’t wait to see how they do in my neighborhood .

Ive been going this El Pollo Loco for 20 years, and the service was always great and very friendly. But theres a newer young girl working there, at the drive thru who is rude, has no customer service and doesn’t give me what I ask for. I went there tonight at about 8:50 and was rude at the drive thru window, she charged for cilantro dressing that I wanted and never gave it to me. Handed me my order while talking to another girl insude not even acknowledging me. And a couple weeks ago it was the same girl had an attitude, gave me the wrong drink. I almost dont want to go there anymore because she’s always the one they have at the drive thru.

I like there salads. As for service if you want honesty,I would say it’s a 50/50 chance depending on who’s working because I’ve experienced Rude,Argumentative service and I’ve recieved so so service but sad to say never 100 or NOT even 75% good service. It seems the employees lack smile, warmth enjoyment of their duties… That’s just my observation and opinion… Sorry but that’s what I feel when I go there….
