With its new line of Loco Lunch Boxes, El Pollo Loco has put an adult twist on the classic Happy Meal combo.
The new Loco Lunch Boxes are designed as a convenient on-the-go lunch solution for adults. Much like the iconic McDonald Happy Meal, each Loco Lunch comes in an easy-to-carry box. But unlike a Happy Meal, these lunch kits are filled with very flavorful meals that adults will love. For instance, there's a Chicken Guacamole Burrito combo that features citrus-marinated, fire-grilled chicken wrapped in a flour tortilla alongside fresh guacamole, pinto beans, shredded cabbage, and sour cream. There's also a Baja Shrimp Tacos meal that features two tacos filled with chipotle and garlic-marinated shrimp, shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, and Baja chipotle sauce. All meals also come with a rice and beans cup, chips, salsa, and a churro for dessert.
