El Pollo Loco translates from Spanish as The Crazy Chicken. This is the name to two independant chain restaurants featuring Mexican cuisine. Both founded by Juan Francisco Ochoa, you can visit the U.S.-based El Pollo Loco or the Mexican-based restaurant. The restaurant specializing in Mexican-grilled chicken was established in Guasave, Sinaloa, Mexico in 1974. El Pollo Loco expanded into a chain that became popular in America in 1980, and three years later the Mexican and U.S. locations separated to become two separate chains run by two different companies. There are 485 locations in the U.S., spread among six different states.
