COSTA MESA, Calif., Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- , the nation's leading fire-grilled chicken restaurant, believes that you deserve a burrito bowl experience that actually fills you up. That’s why El Pollo Loco is doubling down on bold flavor and hearty portions with its new Double Chicken Burrito Bowls – delivering an abundance of fire-grilled chicken in every bowl, layered with slow-simmered beans, seasoned rice, Jack cheese, freshly-made guacamole and salsa. Each bowl brings together delicious flavors and toppings, crafted to satisfy big appetites without sacrificing the quality ingredients El Pollo Loco is known for.
