Miguel’s Jr., Southern California’s beloved quick-service Mexican food chain known for authentic, homestyle cuisine, is excited to unveil a new flavor-forward protein: Chicken Al Pastor. This twist on a classic favorite brings bold spices and sweet pineapple to tangy chicken breast, marking the family-owned restaurant’s first-ever grilled chicken menu item, available in a Quesadilla, Burrito and Taco.

“With Chicken Al Pastor, we’re introducing a vibrant and savory flavor that’s both familiar and exciting,” said Javier Vasquez, CEO of Miguel’s Jr. “It’s a modern take on a traditional favorite, and we’re proud to offer our guests something completely new—made with premium ingredients that deliver the craveable taste they expect from Miguel’s Jr.”

While traditionally made with pork, a rich blend of spicy and mild peppers and sweet pineapple, Miguel’s Jr. puts a fresh twist on the classic al pastor by using tender grilled chicken breast, creating a lighter, equally flavorful option for guests seeking variety without compromising on authenticity.

To complement the new Chicken Al Pastor offerings, Miguel’s Jr. is also bringing back a lineup of fan-favorite seasonal beverages, available for a limited time: Strawberry Horchata, Strawberry Lemonade, Mango Iced Tea and Mango Lemonade. Guests can spice up their refreshment with the “Add a Kick” option featuring Tajín and Chamoy added to select drinks.
