Pollo Loco - Pasadena

The chicken burrito was flavorful and filling. One of the best cilantro rice I have tasted. It was all perfection and the green sauce was the right spiciness.

The food was fresh and amazing. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious! Our burritos were made fresh to order, and every bite was bursting with flavor and perfectly balanced. I’ll definitely be coming back often to try more dishes! The portion sizes are great, too! The staff was very friendly and demonstrated excellent food and hygiene practices.

I probably would never have considered this restaurant if my wife hadn’t brought home some of their food recently, which turned out to be delicious! Ever since, I’ve been trying to convince her to go there for lunch. Today, we ordered a barbecue chicken salad and a buffalo chicken wrap with fries. I tried some of her salad, and it was very tasty. I loved my chicken wrap, and the fries were perfectly cooked. You might not be able to tell from the photos, but the place is immaculately clean—absolutely spotless! They have a few small tables inside and some outside as well. I think I’ve found my new favorite spot for a quick bite. It’s been open for a few months, and if you’re still reading this, I highly recommend giving it a try!

I absolutely adore this quaint little restaurant. We ordered the LOCO ESPECIAL, which features a whole chicken accompanied by your choice of three sides and a 2-liter bottle of soda, though we decided to skip the soda. The three sides we chose were plantains, black beans, and pico de gallo, along with an additional side of guacamole. The marinated charbroiled chicken was truly delightful—tender, juicy, and never greasy. It just melts in your mouth. My favorite sides were definitely the guacamole and pico de gallo; both were fantastic. In fact, everything we had was delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly and courteous. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant. Thank you, El POLO LOCO, for a wonderful meal!
