"El Pollo Loco is known for its citrus-marinated, fire-grilled chicken. Its menu has always included high protein options. In a November interview, chief executive officer Liz Williams described the brand as the OG of protein. While others chase the next protein craze, we've been perfecting ours over an open flame for decades."
"Among them is the Street Corn Double Pollo Salad with 52 grams of protein. It features chicken, super greens, avocado, corn, red peppers, cotija cheese, chili lime seasoning and salsa fresca. A new Mexican Caesar Double Pollo Salad topped with tortilla strips has 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 two dozen menu items containing 20 grams of protein or more. The new offerings include the Street Corn Double Pollo Salad and Mexican Caesar Double Pollo Salad, each providing 52 grams of protein, alongside a new chopped chicken breast side with 23 grams. Some items, like the Queso Crunch Double Chicken Burrito Bowl with 78 grams and a traditional three-piece chicken meal with 94 grams, approach or exceed U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommendations. Founded in 1980, El Pollo Loco positions itself as an original protein-focused brand, having perfected fire-grilled, citrus-marinated chicken offerings for decades.
