You never have to choose between pasta or tacos again thanks to El Pollo Loco's new Mac & Cheese Chicken Taco. Though the cheesy new dish is being marketed specifically towards kids, there's nothing stopping some macaroni-loving adults from enjoying the hybrid meal themselves.
El Pollo Loco's new Mac & Cheese Chicken Taco consists of a crisp flour tortilla shell filled with creamy macaroni and cheese, and pieces of fire-grilled chicken. The new menu item is currently being sold as part of a kids meal, which comes with a small side like mashed potatoes and a regular drink.
Kids can be tough to please, but El Pollo Loco's new kids' meal helps to introduce children to something new by combining it with a comfort food they already love.
