With temperatures dropping, it seems like the perfect time for El Pollo Loco to debut its new Mexican Hot Chocolate. The hot drink is also available alongside the new Chicken Pozole Verde, which is a warming Mexican soup made with chicken.
El Pollo Loco's new Mexican Hot Chocolate is the brand's take on an ancient Mexican drink that combines cocoa with chili peppers. The fast food take on the drink consists of Abuelita Hot Chocolate topped with a fluffy whipped cream topping and a sprinkle of sweet cinnamon sugar. The drink offers a way for consumers to warm up with something sweet that also delivers a hint of heat.
Unfortunately, the new Mexican Hot Chocolate is only available for a limited time, so fans will have to act fast to try it.
