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 Pasadena,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.

El Pollo Loco is located at 1449 East Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena California 91106. It’s in a small shopping area that has about three or four stores. It is located near the corner of Hill Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. It is also adjacent to Pasadena City college. It is very popular for lunch and dinner. Students as well families in the area frequent this location.
This is a no frills fast food place. Food is always consistent when I have been there and ordered for takeout. There is a small seating area for customers who decide to eat inside.
Walking is the best way to get to this establishment. The staff was helpful and friendly when I was there. I appreciated their help as there were a lot of items on the menu. I decided to order Spicy Chicken Nachos, double chicken tostada salad, Chipotle burrito, and 5 piece chicken à la carte. After a short wait the order was completed and I was on my way home.
When I got home I was pleased that everything had been packed very carefully. I was eager to try the chicken pieces first. The chicken was good with great flavor and was moist. I even enjoyed some cold the next day. The double tostada salad was filled with chicken pieces and a great selection of lettuce, tomato and spices. The tortilla bowl was crisp and tasty. The Nachos had a nice flavor and spice. I did add some salsa as I was eating. The Chipotle Burrito had a nice flavor was more than one meal.
There are other items on the menu that I intend to order the next time I’m there. The chicken bowls, the chips and guacamole are top on the list.
Worth the price. But it’s definitely a takeout type place.

Whoever is making the cilantro dressing at this location doesn’t know what they’re doing , it’s pure white and looks like ranch and tastes mainly like Mayo , to make matters worse this location charges for cilantro dressing , been to so many el pollo and this is the only one I’ve seen charge

Too many bones and hard pieces of chicken in the shredded chicken bowl. Everything was dry. Cashier was friendly. I’ll stick to the location on Rosemead in Pasadena.

Just had the Chipotle Chicken Burrito Combo (came with chips, salsa, and drink). Also had a Crunchy Taco, $15 bucks and change. They also accept EBT. The meal was great, I am most definitely full. Well worth the dough.

This place was great. I ordered the 5 dollar nacho combo and it was done and bagged before I even had my drink filled at the fountain. The cashier was nice and it looked like the manager was finishing meals on his own. They were fully staffed even with one man taking a break. There is no drive through and I prefer going inside. Very nice
