What people say
Mexican restaurants are known for their bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and vibrant atmosphere. El Pollo Loco on Poway Road in Poway is no exception to this rule. This Mexican restaurant offers a unique twist on traditional dishes by using their signature citrus-marinated, fire-grilled chicken as the centerpiece of many of their entrees.
What sets El Pollo Loco apart from other Mexican restaurants is their commitment to tradition. They still marinate whole chickens in their family marinade of citrus, garlic, and spices several times a day, every day. The seasoned Grill Masters then grill them low and slow over an open flame for 55 minutes - just like they have been doing for nearly four decades.
The result is tender and juicy chicken that is bursting with flavor. Whether you order it as part of a family dinner or in one of their delicious entrees like the Chicken Avocado Burrito or the Classic Chicken Tostada Salad, you won't be disappointed.
But it's not just about the chicken at El Pollo Loco. They also use fresh ingredients inspired by authentic Mexican recipes to create mouth-watering sides like Spanish rice, pinto beans, and guacamole. And if you're looking for something sweet to finish off your meal, try their Churros - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with just the right amount of cinnamon sugar.
Overall, El Pollo Loco on Poway Road in Poway is a must-visit for anyone who loves Mexican food. With their commitment to tradition and fresh ingredients, you can't go wrong with anything on their menu.
