What people say
El Pollo Loco on Ella Boulevard in Houston, TX is a must-visit for anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes made with fresh, fire-grilled chicken that is slow-marinated in a special blend of herbs, spices, fruit juices, and garlic. The chicken is then expertly 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 makes El Pollo Loco stand out. Their handmade guacamole, salsas, and dressings are made fresh every day with the same dedication and care as their famous fire-grilled chicken. The result is a 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 while still maintaining its commitment to delivering fresh and innovative L.A. Mex. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a family dinner, El Pollo Loco has something for everyone. So head over to Ella Boulevard today and experience the tradition of slow-cooked, fast-served fire-grilled chicken at its best!
