What people say
Mexican restaurants are known for their fresh and authentic food that is bursting with flavor. El Pollo Loco on Highway 6 in Houston, TX is no exception. What sets them apart is their dedication to using whole chickens that are marinated in a special recipe of herbs, spices, fruit juices, and garlic. The chicken is then expertly fire-grilled to perfection on their signature open-flame grills and hand-cut into your favorite Mexican entrees.
But it's not just the chicken that's exceptional at El Pollo Loco. They put the same dedication and care into their handmade guacamole, salsas, and dressings every day. This attention to detail results in great taste that will keep you coming back again and again.
Founded in 1980, El Pollo Loco has grown into more than 480 restaurants across six states. Their famous fire-grilled chicken is cooked slow but served fast, always cut-to-order. And even after nearly four decades, they continue to use traditional methods because sometimes the traditional ways are the best.
If you're looking for fresh and authentic Mexican food that's bursting with flavor, look no further than El Pollo Loco on Highway 6 in Houston.
