El Pollo Loco is growing its L.A. Mex menu to bring taco enthusiasts something to celebrate: Mix & Match Street Tacos. With this addition, customers can choose from seven taco options that blend fan-favorites with new tacos they have never had before.
At the forefront of culinary innovation, the limited-time Street Tacos lineup features El Pollo Loco’s first plant-based protein—Chickenless Pollo—and The World’s First Keto Taco, further showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to improving access to better-for-you food.
With endless combinations, customers can mix and match their favorites or try the new tacos in El Pollo Loco’s customizable 6-Pack Taco Box available at all restaurant locations. The full lineup includes:
- Chickenless Pollo Taco: Get your chicken fix with this meat-free option. The Chickenless Pollo Taco is made with plant-based protein, slow simmered in a sauce of fire roasted peppers, onions and tomatoes, and topped with queso fresco, lettuce, and fresh avocado. It’s wrapped in a new corn and flour artisan tortilla.
- The World’s First Keto Taco: Better-for-you food without sacrificing flavor. This Keto Certified Taco has tender pieces of fire-grilled chicken, jack cheese, handmade pico and ripe avocado nestled into a keto friendly tortilla and finished with creamy cilantro dressing.
- Chicken Avocado or Street Corn Taco: Talk about timeless. These tacos come with fire-grilled chicken, lettuce and queso fresco, and are served on an artisan tortilla. The Chicken Avocado Taco option is topped with pico de gallo, avocado and creamy cilantro dressing, and the Street Corn Taco has corn and baja sauce. Both are wrapped in a new corn and flour artisan tortilla.
- Baja or Spicy Shrimp Taco: Just in time for Lent, the Shrimp Tacos are back and cooked to perfection in a chipotle and garlic marinade. The Baja Shrimp Taco is topped with fresh shredded cabbage, house-made pico de gallo and baja sauce, and the Spicy Shrimp Taco has coleslaw, salsa roja and creamy queso fresco. Both are wrapped in a new corn and flour artisan tortilla.
- Chicken Tacos Al Carbon: A long-standing favorite on the El Pollo Loco menu. Made with fire-grilled chicken, hand chopped onions and cilantro and wrapped in a warm flour tortilla.
“Coming off the heels of the successful launch of better-for-you limited-time offerings earlier this year, our customers wanted more,” says Mark Hardison, SVP of Marketing at El Pollo Loco. “We’re thrilled to expand on that with the new Mix & Match Street Tacos that were created to fit every taste preference and lifestyle, as well as debut our first plant-based protein and Keto taco.”
