Beginning February 18, for a limited time, El Pollo Loco restaurants systemwide will be offering four new menu items designed to take everything you love about the tostada and turn it up a notch with more freshly prepared ingredients, more bold flavors and more options to satisfy your cravings. Three new Baja Double Tostadas – Baja Double Shrimp , Baja Double Chicken and Baja Chicken & Shrimp Tostadas – have arrived alongside Baja Shrimp Tacos for those looking for a new twist on a beloved menu item. “It’s certainly unexpected for a chicken restaurant to serve shrimp, but here we are, making some very tasty shrimp,” said Jill Adams, Chief Marketing Officer of El Pollo Loco. “When sprinkled with chili lime seasoning and topped with our Lime Crema Sauce, these new tostadas are the seasonal surprise you never knew you needed.” The new menu items are built on the foundation of El Pollo Loco’s fan-favorite tostadas, with two scoops of its signature fire-roasted chicken and limited-time Baja shrimp, paired with a brand-new Lime Crema sauce that takes the classic flavors customers love to new heights.
