After living in a food desert for over a year, some restaurants started popping up closer to my home after Walmart opened. El Pollo Loco opened a few months ago and I received numerous coupons in the mail. Last Friday I decided to drop by El Pollo Loco to see what all the hype was about and use a coupon for the $5 pollo loco nachos. The nachos actually weren't bad. They were fairly tasty and a decent size. I enjoyed the chicken, queso, guac, and I even added jalapeños to the mix. I recently joined a weight loss challenge so I won't be a frequent patron of El Pollo Loco unless I drop by for a salad but I will definitely be back to sample more of the menu. read more

I'm honestly really disappointed with my order from El Pollo Loco. I ordered the tostada bowl and it was mostly lettuce with barely any rice or beans, very little chicken, and the chicken that was there was dry and overcooked. The pico de gallo didn't even look fresh or appetizing. For spending $31, this felt like a complete waste of money. The portions and quality were nowhere near worth the price. This was honestly one of the worst experiences I've had here. read more

Went through drive through and they discouraged me from ordering any entree with a chicken breast because they were "out" (11/22, 830pm). When asked how long it would take they said 45 min. Sounded like they wanted to close early and were lazy to cook. read more

Thought it was only me, but my chicken (3 piece) were mostly skin and bones with no seasoning. Was REALLY disappointed. 2 stars for cleanliness and customer service. Please do better with your chicken! read more

I've never seen chicken look so bad! unless it feel out of a trash bag in the middle of summer. skin and bones only!! no meat! avoid this place until someone else tells you they've gotten better. just plain Nasty!!! read more

Went through the drive thru ordered 3 piece leg and thigh meal. The chicken was so dry and burnt with charcoal . They also forgot my tortillas but after one piece of chicken did not need them. I tried calling a couple of times but no one answered the phone so I left a voicemail message. read more

Pollo Loco has the best deals for anything. Healthy quick cheap. Ask for coupons in store or find them on the app!!

Now I see why this restaurant is always dead. Small portions and gave me dried, old chicken. I ordered a three piece which was really a kids chicken leg and 1 thigh cut in half. There was hardly any meat and it was flavorless and dried out. The rice is horrible. They didn't separate my tortillas so they got stuck together and ripped when trying to take them apart. The Roja salsa was surprisingly spicy. That was the only good thing. This place is way too overpriced. You can get a whole pack of rice, beans and chicken for less than a meal here. First and last time eating this. read more

Slowest El Pollo Loco- I will drive back to Irving "IF" I decide to go again. Ordered thru Favor and they made him wait there, 30+ minutes. Wouldn't answer the phone to take order so he had to go in - still SLOW He stayed in touch with me. Not his fault. read more

I enjoy coming here. I always get double salad as a side, and the Cilantro Dressing is great.

I was pumping gas right next to El Pollo Loco and saw that it was open for business, it was their grand opening actually. So I decided to stop on in to see what it was about. After walking in, we decided to look over the menu and decided to try it. They have a pretty cool setup when you walk in. They have this massive grill where all of these chickens are cooking in front of you as you are ordering. The chicken looks and smells amazing. We ordered the double chicken avocado salad and 2 chicken tacos and chips and queso. The Verdict: There must have been some communication error because I didn't get the double chicken avocado salad, we got the double chicken bowl. My wife wanted the one with corn in it. Regardless the chicken in that salad was really good. It was a good salad even though it was the wrong salad. The chicken tacos weren't all that though. They lacked flavor and there was no char to my tortillas. I don't like my tortillas raw, I like them warm and with a nice char to them. The queso was 'meh', not really all that. Their salsa verde at the salsa bar needed something, I just can't put my finger on it, but it wasn't all that either. It had NO heat to it. We may go back for the salad, and definitely some chicken pieces, but not for the chips and queso and if I order the tacos again, I will have to ask them to put those tortillas on the grill for a bit. read more

I was in the area and drove thru for lunch. I was the only one in the drive thru and it took a couple of minutes for someone to ask for my order, and when she did, she was a little hard to hear. I am blaming masks as these are covid times. Though I appreciate places adhering to regulations. Anywho, I ordered the double chicken avocado salad with no sour cream and some avocado salsa. I was a little disappointed to see that they had put on sour cream and attempted to scrape it off, but the salad looked great. The container is a bit deceiving, as there is a lot more food in there than initially thought. The chicken was hot and fresh and had a lovely grilled flavor. The veggies were crunchy and I love cotija cheese. I would skip the citrus vinaigrette, it is pretty sweet for a vinaigrette, but they gave me plenty of the avocado salsa. It was good. It was really good. Fast food salsas rarely look like the picture or live up to expectations, but this absolutely did. It was fast, it was fresh, and after looking up the nutritional info, makes for a very healthy lunch. Again, not something fast food salads are known for. I will definitely come here again. read more

They have a nice clean dining area set up with social distancing and they are allowing dining in. Their food is freshly prepared and the counter staff is always friendly. I think it's cool that every time I have had lunch here a staff member comes out into the dining room and stops to check on every table. That's top notch service and uncommon for fast food, I really like it. An added plus is El Apollo Loco has sweetened iced tea! I always appreciate that. I like their chicken nachos but I have to admit that beef nachos are still my favorite. The chips are a different texture that I'm accustomed to. These aren't light, crispy tortilla chips, they're thick and don't have added seasoning. The salsa helps and there are mild to spicy choices. I definitely like the way they do fast food here, it's excellent. Just on a side note the music is pumped up loud in here each time I've been. read more

My first visit here, and I liked the set up and decor in here right away. It's a spacious and open establishment, and clean as well. I came at a time when it was not busy, so I received my order fairly quickly. My sides were good, the salad was crispy but the chicken was a little on the dry side. I had to put salsa on one piece to give it moisture, which I've never done before, and it actually is good with the house salsa. read more

El Pollo Loco - Fast Food Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

Decided to give them a try today for lunch. I was really expecting it to be better. The staff was very nice and the restaurant is very nice on the inside but the food was very disappointing. The chicken was dry to the point that the skin was like chicken jerky and it was flavorless. The beans lacked flavor and the mac & cheese tasted like it came from a frozen dinner. The only food item that was very good, was the queso. I really expected more from this place. It does not compare to Pollo Regio. read more

Food was horrible. I order the chicken nachos and literally had bones from the drumstick on top of my nachos. Chicken was super dry. All other toppings had no flavor! Queso was okay. Probably the best thing in the plate. read more

El Pollo Loco - Burnt chicken with chicken bones. - Fast Food Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

I had the chicken avocado fit bowl. It was pretty good. I did enjoy the cauliflower rice in it but as others have said the chicken was dry. I went about 2pm I thought it would be a good time to go since after lunch the food/chicken should be fresh. Didn't eat all of the chicken it seemed microwaved which dries it out. I also asked for a order of questo which I got but it doesn't come with chips wth? I thought it was given but you have to ask for the chips and it's extra. Queso isnt posted on the menu board so how would I know? I tasted it it was ok but I didn't eat it since I didn't have chips do better please. read more

Employees are so rude and gave unnecessary attitude. Pollo loco should hire better employees

I love El Pollo loco. I'm so glad it's all over Texas now. This particular location is nice and clean. The staff is great. The cashier helped me with my order, trying to get me the best deal possible. I'll be coming back. read more

Why did I get excited to go to Pollo Loco read the menu where it states the order comes with the fresh salsa. I go threw the drive thru, get home excited to eat and no salsa. I called and asked the man on the phone about the missing salsa he said you have to ask for it. Why do I have to ask for the salsa if the menu says it comes with it. Really disappointed. read more

Second time here the first was takeout this time we dined in. Pretty consistent, the chicken was juicy ans the beans were good but the meat in them wasn't, tasted like cartilage. I'll probably still go back. read more

Excited to try this place but unfortunately quality was not there. Heartburn attack after having nachos. Half chicken meal didn't smell good. They most likely gave me food that been sitting out a long time. Nothing was fresh read more

My husband and I stopped here on a Sunday afternoon. I was intrigued by the decor and menu. The service was good and the employees were friendly. That's all I can say that's good about this place. My food was bland and flavorless. I got tamales and tortilla soup. My husband got a chicken avocado wrap that came with a side salad. We did not receive eating utensils, salad dressing, or salsa. I will not be back. read more

Amazing food! Taste like a normal restaurant in Mexico. Everything's good fine, there all healthy like no germs.

Good food! Its healthy and also nit expensive. Hmmm he service was good and fast. The food was very fresh and hot. We got the new nachos and the ave wrap and a 16 mix of chicken. All of it was awesome read more

Bad, chicken very dry, tasted old, I guess they didn't wanted to use what was coming off the grill yet.

this place was very dirty tables not cleaned floor messy. On the condiment counter the lemons were empty salsa was empty and i mentioned it. They refilled it twenty minutes later after i finished my meal. First time eating at this restaurant in Texas. Had eaten at this place in CA. Those were better run. Also seemed chicken was a little dry. Pricewise ok about same price as CA where I had eaten decade ago. read more
