El Pollo Loco Announces the Return of Fish Tacos

In El Pollo Loco restaurants now through mid-April 2012, the chain will be offering two new fish tacos — the Classic Baja Fish Taco and the Spicy Chipotle Fish Taco. Both the tacos feature a lightly beer battered Alaskan Pollock. The chain reminds audiences that the Pollock are sustainably fished from the cold waters of the Bering Sea.

The light beer batter incorporates a slight heat from the addition of Cayenne pepper, tucked into warm corn tortillas and topped with shredded cabbage and cilantro. The Classic Baja Fish Taco is drizzled with Baja style Lime Crema sauce, and the Spicy Chipotle Fish Taco is topped with smoky hot Chipotle sauce.

Both tacos are available individually and as a combo with a choice of any two fish tacos, a small Classic side, and a small drink. The launch of the tacos will be supported by television spots appearing in select markets as of the start of this year.

Will you be trying El Pollo Loco’s fish offerings? Or does chomping on seafood from a spot called El Pollo Loco throw you off?
