El Pollo Loco has unveiled a limited-time Carnitas Menu for the holiday season, inviting guests to embark on a culinary journey that celebrates the heritage of Mexican cuisine with unique and innovative flavors.
The new Carnitas menu presents a variety of options:
1. Carnitas Tacos: Two corn-blend tortillas are filled with pork carnitas, avocado salsa, cabbage, cilantro, and onion, topped with fresh avocado. This option is convenient for those seeking a handheld, flavorful choice.
2. Carnitas Stuffed Quesadilla: The quesadilla features a flour tortilla filled with tender pork carnitas, fresh avocado, melted cheese, zesty pico de gallo, and avocado salsa, providing a satisfying combination of flavors.
3. Carnitas Wet Burrito: This burrito includes a flour tortilla enveloping pork carnitas, pico de gallo, pinto beans, and sour cream. It is generously covered in authentic green enchilada sauce, cheese, and garnished with fresh cilantro.
Additionally, two exclusive menu items, Pork Carnitas Nachos and Pork Carnitas Tostadas, can be found exclusively through the Loco Rewards App for a limited time.
To celebrate the launch of these new menu additions, El Pollo Loco is leveraging TikTok influencers in an exciting campaign called “Carnitas O’Clock.” The campaign aims to showcase the fresh, high-quality ingredients featured in the latest holiday offerings through engaging beats highlighting the juxtaposition between the hours of slow-simmering meat and the fleeting moments it takes to savor it.
El Pollo Loco has also introduced the Festive Family Meal, catering to those looking to add a touch of tradition to their gatherings. Starting at $24, this offering includes eight pieces of the signature fire-grilled chicken, three generous side dishes, and warm, delectable tortillas.
