In an effort to cater to the growing number of consumers looking for meat-free dishes, El Pollo Loco has just debuted a new Vegan Chickenless Taco and the new Vegan Chickenless Pollo Burrito.
While many fast food and fast casual chains have been rolling out meat-free offerings, most are made with plant-based faux meats such as Beyond Meat patties. For those who want something a little different, El Pollo Loco has debuted vegan-friendly versions of its popular Chickenless Pollo, which blends Mexican flavors in an adobo sauce with an egg-free, non-GMO soy protein base. With the new 'Make it Vegan' option, customers get a Chickenless Pollo Burrito or Chickenless Taco made with Chickenless Pollo, but without the Creamy Cilantro Dressing.
Both the Vegan Chickenless Pollo Taco and the Vegan Chickenless Pollo Burrito are available now at participating location nationwide.
