El Pollo Loco has been serving up Mexican-style food for decades and are widely known for their famous fire-grilled chicken. The chain originally started in Mexico but quickly made its way to the United States. Today, El Pollo Loco has grown to nearly 500 locations across six states.
El Pollo Loco prices tend to be between Taco Bell and Chipotle Mexican Grill. Although El Pollo Loco today serves burritos, tacos, and quesadillas, they originally started primarily with just specially-marinated fire-grilled chicken. In addition, they also offer various salads, bowls, family meals, and a dozen sides.
Though it is a fast-casual restaurant with a drive-thru, El Pollo Loco makes an effort to include healthy options on its menu. Customers can choose low-calorie meals from the Under 500 Calories section of the menu or swap heavier menu items for lighter ones

El Pollo Loco was founded in 1975 in Guasave, Mexico, by Juan Francisco Ochoa. In 1980, the first restaurant in the United States was opened in Los Angeles, California. Three years later, the restaurant chain in the United States was acquired by Denny’s. Today, there are nearly 400 restaurant locations in the US.
The restaurant’s main competitors include Taco Bell, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Del Taco. El Pollo Loco prices are not the cheapest nor the most expensive in that restaurant category.
