El Pollo Loco bursts into New Year with 3 new items

January 2, 2019

El Pollo Loco is breaking out of the 2019 gate early, launching a line of fire-grilled chicken nachos, including  double chicken nachos, shredded chicken nachos and loco chicken nachos, a news release said.

These new menu items feature layers of tortilla chips with sea salt, topped with the brand's citrus-marinated grilled chicken, queso blanco and guacamole. The three varieties include: 

• Double chicken nachos with twice the meat, guacamole, sour cream, queso blanco, pickled jalapenos, pinto beans, fresh pico de gallo and sea-salted chips. 
• Shredded chicken nachos with ranchero chicken, guacamole, sour cream, queso blanco, pinto beans, fresh pico de gallo and sea-salted chips. 
• Loco chicken nachos with chicken, guacamole, corn, queso blanco, cilantro sauce, fried serrano pepper and tortilla chips with sea salt.

The brand said that the latest menu items were inspired by the culinary and cultural traditions of Los Angeles, its home base. El Pollo now has more than 480 restaurants in Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas, Utah and Louisiana.
