El Pollo Loco
EL POLLO LOCO is the nation's leading quick-service restaurant chain specializing in flame-grilled chicken. Offering a fresh, healthful alternative to traditional fast food, EL POLLO LOCO serves its famous citrus-marinated, flame-grilled chicken with warm tortillas, fresh salsas and a variety of accompaniments. Fresh Mexican entrees (signature grilled burritos, Pollo Bowls, Pollo Salads, quesadillas, etc.) are also served. All feature the delicious citrus-marinated, flame-grilled chicken that put EL POLLO LOCO on the map. In January of 2010, El Pollo Loco expanded its flame-grilled offerings with the addition of flame-grilled, Carne Asada-style Sirloin steak.
