What people say
When it comes to Mexican restaurants, there's nothing quite like the taste of fresh, authentic food. And that's exactly what you'll find at El Pollo Loco on Edinger Avenue in Santa Ana. This restaurant takes pride in delivering the best fire-grilled chicken that is marinated in a special recipe of herbs, spices, fruit juices and garlic. The result is a juicy and flavorful chicken that is cut-to-order and served fast.
But it's not just the chicken that makes El Pollo Loco stand out. They also put the same dedication and care into their handmade guacamole, salsas and dressings every day. You can taste the freshness in every bite.
What's more impressive is that El Pollo Loco has been delivering this level of quality for almost four decades. Since opening their first American location in Los Angeles in 1980, they have grown to over 480 restaurants across six states. And yet, they still maintain their tradition of slow-cooking their famous fire-grilled chicken and serving it fast.
If you're looking for a delicious Mexican meal that will keep you coming back again and again, look no further than El Pollo Loco on Edinger Avenue in Santa Ana. Their commitment to fresh ingredients and traditional cooking methods make them a standout among Mexican restaurants.
