The Califresco features El Pollo Loco’s flame-grilled chicken combined with grilled vegetables, rice, pinto beans, fresh pico de gallo, fresh cilantro, melted Jack cheese and our fresh hand-made Avocado Salsa. El Tradicional features El Pollo Loco’s hand-pulled flame-grilled chicken cooked in a mild Verde salsa and then combined with rice, pinto beans, fresh cilantro, diced onions and melted Jack Cheese. The Spicy Chipotle features El Pollo Loco’s flame-grilled chicken combined with rice, pinto beans, fresh Pico de Gallo, sour cream, cilantro, melted Jack Cheese and a spicy, smoky fire-roasted Chipotle salsa.
El Pollo Loco is also introducing its new limited time Tropical Habanero Chicken. Available in both individual and family meals through 9/23, El Pollo Loco’s Tropical Habanero Chicken starts with fresh, natural chicken that’s flame-grilled to perfection and then covered in a sweet and spicy glaze featuring guava, citrus and Habanero chilies. The result is a tantalizing blend of sweet and spicy flavors.
Commercials will build on the El Pollo Loco ¡Feel the Mexcellence! theme and include a stomach serenade to celebrate the joy that accompanies eating the Brand Nuevo Burritos. In addition to television advertising, a wide mix of POP vehicles will be used to promote El Pollo Loco’s new offerings, including window clings, interior signage, register displays and drive-thru communication.
