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 El Centro,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.

I am so thankful they opened this El Pollo on our side of town. The good is always good and hot. I love the chicken 3 piece meal of course, but I also love the Chipotle Chicken Quesdillas. They are so good anf hot and you get 3 large pieces. Hnmmm tasty almost close to home cooking when you are on the go . Teresa

I haven’t been to El pollo Loco in so many years, and I enjoyed eating there this time. I got the avocado chicken bowl and it was very delicious.
The cashier was friendly.
The restroom looked clean.

The quality has gone down, the price has gone up. The seat upholstery is torn.

Impressed with the quality of the chicken! Other pollo loco joints that I’ve been to usually have anorexic chicken but this one is juicy.
Flavor is on point will come back.

I’ve been to other locations and this has never been an issue before. I came in an hour and fifteen minutes early before closing at this location and the workers were cleaning up. Food portions were smaller and undercooked compared to other locations.
I Informed the person in charge and she didnt seem to care she is an older lady who wanted to go home early

The food here is the best fast food in the area. The salads are the best…better than Wendy’s and they are really good. Also the lemonade is great! Eat here once, and you will be back. Now I’m hungry after writing this review. The employees are always friendly and helpful, the drive thru moves fast (my usual wait after ordering is 7 minutes on average) IF YOU ARE A TOURIST YOU SHOULD EAT HERE AT LEAST ONCE.
