El Pollo Loco's all new Enchilada Platters in three different flavor combinations.

Traditions don’t just feed your craving, they feed your soul. Experience the authentic flavors of these homestyle enchiladas, made with the love and passion you would find from your family’s classic dish.  They are prepared with fresh, quality ingredients, including stone ground tortillas, fire-grilled chicken or tender shrimp, Monterrey jack and cotija cheeses and topped with hand-sliced avocado.

“Homemade enchiladas are such a great family dish, but many people simply don’t have the time to make them from scratch,” said Heather Gardea, Vice President of Research and Development and Executive Chef at El Pollo Loco. “Just like our delicious fire-grilled chicken, the new Enchilada Platters are prepared with the same time, craft and quality ingredients as you would find with your own family’s recipes.”
