You’ll never guess who’s teaming up with El Pollo Loco to spice up their latest salad!

El Pollo Loco is more famous for their chicken rather than their salads. With a name that literally translates to “The Crazy Chicken,” this isn’t surprising at all. El Pollo Loco’s citrus-marinated Mexican-style grilled chicken is what made them famous in the first place. But right now, it looks like they’re trying to prove that they’re no one trick pony. El Pollo Loco is set on proving that they can make a mean salad as well. And for this campaign, they’re bringing along a famous internet personality.

El Pollo Loco just announced that they’re teaming up with popular content creator, Yuri Lamasbella, to promote their new Double Chopped Salads. Lamasbella is famous online for her comedic sketches that usually involve her impersonating a member of the Kardashian family. This kind of clout behind her makes Lamasbella the perfect choice for El Pollo Loco’s first ever “Kreative Director” in charge of promoting this new campaign. El Pollo Loco has been setting their sights on expanding their healthier menu options and introducing more digital-exclusive items which makes this collaboration a no-brainer. But what exactly are they promoting? Let’s take a look at their new line of Double Chopped Salads.

The Kreator Chopped Salad is a mixture of crispy lettuce and super greens combined with their signature grilled chopped chicken breast and Baja shrimp. Top it all off with some hand-sliced avocados, queso fresco, crunchy tortilla strips, pepitas, and fresh salsa. To add even more flavor, it comes with a cilantro dressing, chipotle sauce, a side of chips, even more salsa, and a regular drink. It looks like one of the most loaded things on their menu. It’s also a digital exclusive, which means you can only get it online or through their app.

From The Club

I think it’s great that more and more fast food chains are committing to providing healthier options on their menu. El Pollo Loco has always been known for the quality of their food and it’s nice to see that they’re extending that kind of mindset and consistency to their salads as well. Teaming up with Yuri Lamasbella is pretty great too since it will definitely boost their presence and raise even more awareness for their new Double Chopped Salads.
