Not exactly a new dish, but more like a new combo,
El Pollo Loco is offering three "new" plates for a limited time on their menu. Each plate features Spanish rice, pinto beans, and fresh salsa and your choice of
Carne Asada,
Mixed Grill (carne asada and a chicken thigh or leg), or
Tamales (covered with Colorado sauce). The Carne Asada and Mixed Grill Plates also include tortillas (your choice of corn or flour).
Prices are
$5.99 for the Tamales Plate,
$6.49 for the Mixed Grill Plate, and
$6.99 for the Carne Asada Plate.
To promote the new plates, El Pollo Loco is offering a
printable coupon on their site for a free individual-sized chocolate bundt cake with any Plate purchase (expires November 11, 2010).
