Burger King is back again at doing what they do best: offering irresistible fast food deals. To kick off the new year, they’re not just offering one, but two meal deals featuring timeless fast food items. Get ready for the $5 Duo and $7 Trio meal deals! This is Burger King’s way of letting you “Have it Your Way,” whether you want to satisfy big or small cravings.

These new fast food deals are pretty straightforward. When you swing by a participating Burger King location, you can pick 2 items for only $5 or 3 items for just $7. Here are the tasty treats you can choose from:

  • Whopper Junior
  • Bacon Cheeseburger
  • Medium Fries
  • Original Chicken Sandwich
  • 8 pieces of Chicken Fries
  • Medium Soft Drink

And here’s a little trick we’d like to share: yes, you can get 2 of those Whoppers or 3 Original Chicken Sandwich. Because, literally, you can have it your way at Burger King! Just remember that these fast food deals will only be available through spring.

Additionally, Burger King has other upcoming fast food deals that fans and superfans will love. Starting January 27 to February 2, 2025, Royal Perks members can enjoy the $1 Cheeseburger Week. That means, the classic BK cheeseburger can be availed for just $1, exclusively through the BK app. The fast food deal is much sweeter for Walmart+ Members, though, because they can get their hands on the $1 Cheeseburger a day earlier, on January 26.

Also, on National Croissant Day, Burger King won’t be letting us down. A 1-cent breakfast deal on Croissan’wich will be up for grabs on January 30, with any purchase amounting to $1 or more. Again, this upcoming fast food deal is only for Royal Perks members. So if you haven’t signed up yet, take this as your sign to do so!

El Pollo Loco

If Burger King is offering new fast food deals to kick off the new year with big savings, El Pollo Loco is doing it to celebrate a brand milestone. The renowned fire-grilled chicken restaurant marks its 50th anniversary by launching the Loco Friday Drops. El Pollo Loco’s rich history can be traced back to 1975, when it opened in Sinaloa, Mexico. Eventually, the restaurant moved to Los Angeles, and has remained committed to quality, flavor, and community ever since.

Now, going back to Loco Friday Drops. What’s so special about this? Well, the fast food deal was launched in January 17, 2025 and will be running throughout the year. Yup, every Friday, El Pollo Loco will announce a new fast food deal for the remaining weeks of 2025. Last January 17, the Loco Friday Drops kicked off with an 8-piece Leg & Thigh Family Meal for only $19.75 at participating locations. Important note: new fast food deals will be announced every Friday, and are only accessible by Loco Rewards Members. Not yet a member? You still have time to sign up via the Loco Rewards app. Also, be sure to follow @elpolloloco on Instagram, to stay updated on Friday fast food deals.

Giving back to the community is also part of El Pollo Loco’s anniversary celebration. With the recent fires that happened in California, the restaurant is ready to donate 5,000 meals to first responders and others who were affected by the Palisades and Eaton fires. In addition, El Pollo Loco pledges a monetary donation to Red Cross and plans to give back to the first US location of the restaurant, the Alvarado Street neighborhood. As shared by El Pollo Loco’s CEO, Liz Williams, they’re looking forward to commemorating the brand’s anniversary by giving back to their fans and community.

While honoring its history in Los Angeles, El Pollo Loco is excited for what the future holds. The restaurant chain unveiled its plans for new flavor and menu introductions this year. Fans wait in anticipation for the modern restaurant prototype that was announced in Q3 2024, and the exciting new flavor innovations set to come out by end of January 2025.
