El Pollo Loco is giving fans something new to sink their teeth into with the debut of the California Queso Burrito and the Chicken Tinga Burrito.
With the launch of its latest burritos, El Pollo Loco looks to expand its current lineup of L.A. Mex Burritos. The California Queso Burrito is the cheesier of the new offerings, featuring a 12-inch flour tortilla stuffed with chopped chicken, pinto beans, pico de gallo salsa, guacamole, queso blanco, and Tapatio fries. As for the Chicken Tinga Burrito, this burrito features smoky chicken tinga (which is shredded chicken in a savory sauce), pinto beans, queso fresco, rice, avocado slices, and pico de gallo salsa, all wrapped up in the same flour tortilla.
Both of the new burritos can be found at El Pollo Loco locations nationwide.
