This month El Pollo Loco arrived in Houston! Sugar Land Texas welcomed a brand new El Pollo Loco restaurant and I couldn’t be more jealous!
This is the first of many Houston locations coming in the next year and I am anxiously awaiting the one near me next spring. I had the privilege of attending an event a few months ago, introducing bloggers to some of their dishes, and I’ve been craving their chicken ever since!
What I really love about their brand is that it is affordable, fast and healthy. Those three things do not typically go together! We can get quick, cheap and unhealthy food virtually anywhere or we can get expensive, slow food that is healthy. The fact that they can combine all three makes this mama very happy. And did I mention it is delicious too?
When I came home from the event a few months ago one of my friends was amazed, I was actually raving about food. I am not a foodie and I typically do not get over excited about eating. It’s just something I do to live, but this food literally had me raving.
The chefs arrive at the restaurants hours before they open to start preparing the chicken. Getting it ready in their special citrus-marinade so that it can be fire grilled throughout the day.
All their ingredients are fresh and they use avocados liberally. The way life should be done!
Several of our friends and family members have gluten allergies, so I really appreciated the gluten-free information straight on their website. The yummy chicken is all GF and they have a huge selection of menu items that are safe for those that need to eat GF as well.
The food is made in front of you and is sit-down-restaurant delicious, but in a laid back atmosphere, which means I can eat yummy food with my kiddos and out of my home. Another win for all of the mommys out there!
You can hear more about the brand and see some of the mouth watering food in the video below (don’t watch it hungry or you will be running out the door to find the El Pollo Loco restaurant closest to you!). While I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of one in my area, I’m also trying to come up with an excuse to head out to Sugar Land so I can eat at the new one there! It’s that good! You can easily find if there is a location near you here!
The other houston locations coming soon are Katy, Spring, Copperfield and Humble!
