Fans say these fast-food chains serve the most satisfying chicken quesadillas.

I will never turn down a basic quesadilla but a chicken quesadilla is so much better when it comes to protein and satiety, not to mention flavor. If the chicken is good quality and perfectly marinated, seasoned, and cooked, this menu item is easily one of the most delicious and additive choices you can go for. But where can diners get a chicken quesadilla that’s guaranteed to be outstanding every time? Here are five fast food chains with exceptional chicken quesadillas, according to fans.

El Pollo Loco

The Salsa Verde Chicken Quesadilla and Creamy Chipotle Chicken Quesadilla are both fantastic. “I love the salsa verde quesadilla!!! 😋😋” one Instagrammer said. “Creamy chipotle all day,” another commented.

The new Del Dorado Chicken Quesadilla at Del Taco is made with freshly grilled, marinated chicken, shredded spicy jack cheese and Salsa Roja, all folded in a flour tortilla, flat-grilled, and served with guacamole and sour cream for dipping. “The new Salsa Roja has a kick that lasts, so I used the sour cream to cool it down as I’m a bit of a spice wimp,” one fan said. “My favorite was the Del Dorado Quesadilla which comes with sides of sour cream and fresh guacamole 🥑!!”

Baja Fresh

I tragically have the cilantro gene so the cilantro rice makes options limited. I get it with red salsa sour cream and black beans. My fav,” another raved.
