El Pollo Loco will also launch new menu items and flavors in 2025 as part of the 50-year celebrations. "The first of these exciting new flavor innovations is scheduled to hit menus systemwide at the end of the month," the company says. While you're waiting for the new items to be confirmed, enjoy El Pollo Loco's Classic Double Pollo Fit Bowls until February 19, 2025. "Our Double Pollo Fit Bowls are the perfect option when you're craving bold, delicious flavors but don't want to compromise your goals," said Jill Adams, Chief Marketing Officer at El Pollo Loco. "Whether you're looking to specifically increase your protein intake or get a head start on healthy eating habits for the new year, we've got you covered."
The chicken chain is also planning to remodel locations in 2025, with a bold new look. "While the new restaurant prototype includes existing brand elements – such as the fire stack gradient, logo and font – that fans have come to know and love, these elements now reflect an updated color palette, footprint and use of materials," the company says.
El Pollo Loco is also honoring its Los Angeles roots by giving back to the communities which have been destroyed by recent wildfires, including the Alvarado Street neighborhood, home to El Pollo Loco's first U.S. location. "In response to the fires that have devastated our communities, El Pollo Loco commits to donate 5,000 meals to first responders and others impacted by the Palisades and Eaton fires and a monetary donation to the Red Cross and other community relief efforts."
