El Pollo Loco launched a new holiday campaign that celebrates how food can have the power to bring cultures together, a sentiment that's highlighted in a short ad that spotlights kids sharing their love for different types of cuisine.
President and CEO Bernard Acoca spoke to the campaign, stating "When you share food that's part of your tradition, you share part of yourself, which leads to greater understanding and ultimately brings people closer together" and "Who better to express this sentiment than children who bring an innocent and unadulterated view on life."
The ad also showcases the resurgence of three of El Pollo Loco's holiday dishes, which include its 'Holiday Tamale Bowls,' 'Chicken Pozole Verde,' and 'Mexican Hot Chocolate.'
