Smoky Mountain Black Bean Burrito
This was an item that used to be on the regular menu. That is until they slowly phased out black beans. Now black beans are available again, unfortunately, these delicious bad boys are not. Fear not though. Simply ask for the BRC Burrito and substitute in black beans and viola. Enjoy. -

Fish Tacos
Certain locations are now testing fish tacos. They are not on the menu yet, but be sure to ask to see if your local El Pollo Loco is participating. - 3
Skinless Chicken
Few fast food restaurants offer anything as healthy as the chicken at El Pollo Loco, but there is a way to make it even healthier. Just ask for your order to be skinless. By removing the skin you are cutting out over 50% of the fat content.
Sure you could do it yourself, but why be tempted? -
