"Chipotle has answered fans' cries and prayers: after three long years since its debut, the fast casual Mission-style burrito chain is finally bringing the beloved Chicken al Pastor back to its menu. In a press release issued on January 27, the restaurant announced the item will be available at Chipotle locations across the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, and the U.K. on February 10 for a limited-time. "There is a god," wrote one fan on Reddit in response to the news. "Amen!" responded another."
""Chicken al Pastor built a passionate following, so we had to bring it back to the menu for our fans," Chipotle's Interim Chief of Marketing Officer Stephanie Perdue said in the press release. But what exactly do fans love so much about this limited-time option? Chipotle's Chicken al Pastor is marinated with seared morita peppers, ground achiote, and pineapple juice, and served up with a splash of lime and sprinkling of cilantro to deliver a mix of bold, tangy flavors with a dash of heat."
Chipotle will reintroduce Chicken al Pastor to locations across the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, and the U.K. beginning February 10 for a limited time. The Chicken al Pastor is marinated with seared morita peppers, ground achiote, and pineapple juice, finished with lime and cilantro for bold, tangy flavors with a touch of heat. The return follows a three-year absence and generated enthusiastic fan reactions on Reddit. Chipotle confirmed the item is temporary but did not specify duration; the chain typically keeps limited-time offers for a few months. Chipotle's 2026 menu plans also include new sides, dips, and additional limited-time proteins.
