Yummy gluten free options! I get their nachos and sometimes we get the family pack of chicken, rice and beans. Recently they added birria tacos to their menu and they are delicious and 100% gluten-free the sauce on the side is too! I recommend this place 100% if you are craving Mexican food that’s quick and easy to get. I’ve never had to ask them to tell the cook that I have an allergy all items that I listed are just naturally gluten-free and I have tested all the products with my nima sensor!

Has a gf menu online, speaker sucks so the cashier helping us had trouble hearing us. I am also dairy free and had the pollo bowl.

Dedicated gluten free menu on website, not in store. Staff was not knowledgeable. But ingredients are simple and listed under each menu item.
Tasty, juicy chicken. We had the bowls. No complaints.

Picked up takeout today, first time to eat here since celiac diagnosis. Hard to find their GF info online but finally found a link after I clicked on a menu item. Warns there’s no dedicated kitchen or cross contamination protection but much of their menu is listed as GF. Chicken and most sides are on the GF list as is the milky drink horchata! Here’s the GF link as of 9-9-2022: https://www.elpolloloco.com/content/pdfs/epl_gluten_info_mod_4_2022_hr-1.pdf
