"While others chase the next protein craze, we've been perfecting ours over an open flame for decades. Founded in the United States in 1980, El Pollo Loco is known for its citrus-marinated, fire-grilled chicken. Its menu has always included high protein options."
"A 'Protein Packed' web page includes two dozen items with 20 grams of protein or more, according to the Costa Mesa-based chain's website. The page makes it easy to find the protein content for each item. Among them is the Street Corn Double Pollo Salad with 52 grams of protein."
"Some items come close to fulfilling the U.S. government's current Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which recommends 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. The Queso Crunch Double Chicken Burrito Bowl packs 78 grams of protein. And a traditional three-piece chicken meal with tortillas, sides and salsa has as much as 94 grams."
El Pollo Loco introduced a dedicated 'Protein Packed' web page showcasing over two dozen menu items containing 20 grams of protein or more. The new section includes both existing menu items and new offerings such as the Street Corn Double Pollo Salad and Mexican Caesar Double Pollo Salad, each providing 52 grams of protein. Additional options include a chopped chicken breast side with 23 grams of protein, the Queso Crunch Double Chicken Burrito Bowl with 78 grams, and a traditional three-piece chicken meal with up to 94 grams. The Costa Mesa-based chain, founded in 1980 and known for its citrus-marinated, fire-grilled chicken, positions itself as an established leader in protein offerings rather than a trend follower.
