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 Gilroy,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 love this place, I come a decent amount! One of the best places to get quick grilled chicken and something relatively healthy if you know what to order. Most of the workers are really good at customer service and getting their job done, at least when I go. Their is a couple of guys that do seem inconsistent with attitude and work ethic though. I think that this is a great restaurant overall!

Not to ruffle anyone’s feathers, but if you’re looking for a fast food review of El Pollo Loco, you should probably just skip it. Can’t imagine who might read this review looking for outstanding food, but if you’ve made it this far, don’t chicken out! I’ll do my best to wing it without breaking a leg. First off, they have a cleaver for a door handle, which made me chuckle. I may like white meat, but I also love dark humor. The restaurant was clean and the staff were helpful. My gal had her feathers ruffled because it took a bit longer than normal to get our food(5 or 6 minutes total?) and just when I thought she flew the coop, our scratch arrived. One had to rank fast food on a fast food scale, so anyone expecting a Costco Rotisserie to be served should click their heels together and say Costco three times(which for $5.99, you’ll lose your head over THAT value!) But we weren’t at Costco and didn’t order a rotisserie chicken. We ordered chicken salads, and they didn’t taste like chicken sh*t. The lettuce was fresh, like it had been plucked from the fields that very afternoon. The chicken was tasty, so no one laid an egg. The avocado dressing was worth crowing at the sun over. All in all, a 3 out of 5 due to the food being overpriced by about 30% and me having to listen to my gal’s squawking for two extra minutes.

Located right off the freeway. Ordered food through the drive thru and service was fast. I ordered the chipotle chicken burrito, which was a good size. However, there were quite a few burned chicken pieces. I don’t like the taste of burned chicken so I didn’t finish the burrito.

The food was delicious! Chicken roasted over fire, delicious! The restaurant was clean and l loved how it was decorated. It is essentially fast food but healthy fast food! The cashier was super nice but one of the servers was actually quite rude. My husband is Deaf and we appreciated the cashiers efforts to help us but the other gal was simply not very nice! I wish I had gotten her name! We will go back and give it another try, maybe she was having a bad day…the food was so worth it!

This one is conveniently located just off the 101 in Gilroy. It was clean and neat inside with ample parking. Service was fast and friendly and the food was fresh. It was the only location ive been where they were playing Mexican music. It was an interesting change, but appropriate! I would definitely stop here again.

The food was very good. I wish they gave more options regarding the type of beans. Queso is always a nice addition but they only had guac. The facility was clean and the staff was nice.

Tasty, healthy, and affordable. Camila went out of her way to ensure my order was perfect and even helped this great-granny use their app. to save a few dollars. She made me feel like a VIP. Their staff all were thoughtful and that made my experience extra special.

Love their chicken and always cooked to perfection…. but came there at 8:30pm…. no thighs nor drumsticks, so got wings. Over cooked wings and tough/dried out. Best to go earlier in the daytime.
