“I come here for their tacos because they’re amazing. I rarely write reviews, but i pulled in around 8:35pm, and they had already closed up for the night, cleaned the grill and everything. i had just drove back from boston and was really hungry. The gentleman was walking to his car when i pulled in. I was like closed? and he said yup all done for tonight. i told him i didn’t stop for tacos anywhere else because you guys are my go to. He said im sorry, come tomorrow and i got you. He could tell i was a bit bummed out because i was craving tacos. He said which tacos you want. His co worker fired up the grill and made them!! Great people, great food, good pricing, and great hospitality. Not sure anyone else around here that would have done that. They’re three mexican/hispanic food joints in a 10 miles radius, but these guys are the only ones that will continue to get my business. Thank you guys!!”
El Pollo Loco is betting that loyalty members want more than discounts. The fire-grilled chicken chain rolled out a refreshed Loco Rewards program earlier this year, pairing exclusive experiences with app-driven promotions as part of a broader turnaround that's already delivering results. The centerpiece of the relaunch: a partnership with Coca-Cola for a "soccer challenge" giving members a shot at a VIP trip to the 2026 Major League Soccer All-Star Game in Charlotte, N.C., on July 29. The grand prize includes two game tickets, hotel accommodations, flight vouchers, and a $300 Visa gift card. A hundred runner-up winners each receive a $25 El Pollo Loco gift card.
