Do Mexican Dads like El Pollo Loco?

We asked Mexican dads to rate El Pollo Loco! 🐔🍗
APPLY to papah! ➡️ airtable.com/a...
The popular chain restaurant originated in Guasave, Sinaloa! It's been serving up fire-grilled chicken and sides since 1975! The papahs tried several items from their menu including burritos, shrimp tacos, and tostada salads!

I grew up in L.A. in the 80s and 90s. El Pollo Loco was one of my family's favorite Friday night (takeout night) dinner options.That was before they had all the fancy wraps and whatnot. Just the chicken, beans, rice, tortillas and other sides. It was always delicious. I've been on the East Coast for over 20 years now, and although we have lots of Peruvian rotisserie chicken places in my area, there are times I crave that flame-grilled chicken from El Pollo Loco. Glad to see their chicken still hits the spot.

You must've left before "Juan Pollo" came into the picture. Juan Pollo tops El Pollo all day. 🙌

[@johannaliceaga5936]

An FYI to the non Mexicans we all like pollo loco, it’s not authentic but we actually really like it but it’s too pricey now.

[@elecsoto2929]

True, I remember eating it with my pops growing up. We also stopped too cuz the prices went up and the quality of the food went down

[@thisemptyworm4677]

@@elecsoto2929 im guessing a typical combo meal there cost around 8-10$, like other fast food?

Stopped going when they stopped serving black beans smh

[@Mrgreen8886]

This place is Mexican the owner came from Mexico and got the idea from road side pollo like in Mexico

[@johannaliceaga5936]

@@Mrgreen8886 yes I know but it’s very far from authentic not as good as the ones in Mexico but still a good option I mean there’s not many places in the US that do this style idk why

Man I miss eating from this place. Chicken is always on point. I wish they expanded more to the Midwest.

I LOVE El Pollo Loco so much! The chipotle chicken avocado burrito is my jam. Love the salads with the cilantro dressing. Their avocado green salsa is bomb and their churros are really good too.

[@eatwithcandy7147]

These guys are great !!🎉 🎉🎉

[@armandosanchez4830]

Pollo loco has something special in my heart. I get the taco bowls every time

I had the opportunity to visit Cali years ago, and had the opportunity to eat at "El Pollo Loco", so much tastier and cheaper than all the others gringo alternatives.

[@kbs149th]

The chicken thighs are bomb. The skin is the best part. There was a period of time in my life when I’d always buy a few thighs on my way home from work. They almost never made it home 🤣

Love the content you guys created! I just made a cooking channel and hope one day it’ll reach where you guys have! Keep on the great work

[@rmendoza5953]

El Pollo Loco buys their beans from someone else pre-cooked. The rice is cooked in a rice cooker in the restaurants.

Right, but they're chicken tastes, so good, though. That's why you have to use their coupons.

[@roll3886]

I always get the taco salad because it's so good and it's super filling. My mom usually gets the chicken nachos. It's kinda funny that the nachos come with a side of chips and salsa though lol

[@rachelwaln269]

It's probably because it's for the people who want extra chips and sauce.

Pollo Loco was about the only chicken my dad liked. He would complain about fried chickens hardy being cooked right

[@rogermilla2358]

Pollo Loco was better before it changed itself to become upscale, healthy and appeal to certain groups. Give me back the old school Pollo Loco like taquitos and crunchy tacos dripping in oil. That shit was the bomb. Now it's just alright.

Uhh the taco salad has rice and beans in the bottom.

Always hit

[@willvr4]

If it has salad in the name, it must be healthy haha Those bowls are made in fried bread. A "Caesar salad" was created in Mexico city (not Italy) and the dressing has so much fat in it plus the carbs of the croutons that it's no longer healthy either. Both are delicious, just being a buzz kill incase one of your annoying super health conscious friends wants to shove it in your face haha

[@alejandroramirez4470]

I'm sad they only serve it with the creamy dressing now and not the spicy vinaigrette they once offered too

[@Spoonky92]

Apparently the Caeser salad was made in Tijuana, by an Italian immigrant.

Viejo gorillon in the plaid he does what all Mexicans do complain about good it’s to small to small of portions to expensive. Pues no coma ay tiene mucha reserva que le dure unos meses.

[@eajinx737]

Hey, Mr Donato, with all due respect, you should keep in mind that comments like "How are you gonna call something "quesadilla" and not have enough cheese" may cause some trouble back in México. [sorry, next have to go in spanish] En lo personal no me molesta el asunto, pero casi se arma una guerra civil con los chilangos (la gente que vive en la CDMX) porque aseguran que una quesadilla no necesita llevar queso para ser definida como quesadilla. Hey, hey, hey, solo estoy haciendo una referencia, que nadie encienda las antorchas. Saludos from Puebla, México, "papah!" gang.

[@adamstroh6815]

El problema es que no es solo CDMX contra la mayoría de México, pero contra el suroeste de los Estados Unidos también 😂. Incluso para nosotros gringos, una quesadilla sin queso es nomás una tortilla con cosas adentro, güey. Ya tú sabes que hay unos cabrones locos en Texas que ya están listos para esa guerra jajaja.

[@AlexVanChezlaw]

Its just food man, it aint gonna cause a civil war. Who cares about chilangos anyways
