::El Pollo Loco:: Healthy Holiday Options

::Momma of Dos:: {This is a compensated post by El Pollo Loco. All statements are my own and honest opinion.}

I know how tough it can be to eat healthy during the Holiday season. I struggle with staying on track but thankfully El Pollo Loco makes it so easy to be good! I love the newest additions to their menu; healthy options that fit many lifestyles and diets. Fire grilled chicken and avocado, not just delicious but great options for being healthy when eating out. If you visit the website you can find the healthier options for you or your families special dietary needs. Click here for HEALTHIER OPTIONS. El Pollo Loco also has the most fresh veggies for your kids, my children LOVE broccoli and salads so I love that their kids combos come with this option.  A plus for this Momma is to know that their delicious salsa is made with fresh ingredients, very important to have good salsa!  

"Healthy options that meet the speed of life!"

El Pollo Loco  is quickly expanding in the Houston area, in the coming year they will make additions to Katy and Humble. 7 to 8 new locations will be opening in the near future. Their Cy-Fair location has employed over 40 local employees. As this location has been very busy. I had the opportunity to attend their Copperfield location Grand Opening/Ribbon Cutting ceremony. While the locations dine-in area was closed for the private event, the drive through was booming and with in an hour they had to open the restaurant to accommodate everyone.  The Cy-Fair Chamber of Commerce has supported the local El Pollo Loco as they know that they will be very successful within the community. 

At the Copperfield Grand Opening, El Pollo Loco representative Mark Hardison presented to the Houston Food Bank a donation of $1,000.00 which according to representative Jennifer Reeves is equivalent to 3,000 meals. This type of donation is especially important during the Holiday season. I loved being a part of the this special event and can't wait to visit El Pollo Loco more often! 

Of course after the opening presentation it was time to eat! 

Have you visited the newly opened El Pollo Loco locations, Sugarland and now Copperfield? 

Don't forget to sign up for their Loco Rewards, you get free chips and guacamole when you do! They also offer catering and gifts cards,great for your Holiday parties!

When I think about family dinners, or gatherings; I think about great company, fun nights and of course delicious food! 

A couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to attend the Grand Opening of the new El Pollo Loco, or as my Hubby calls it... el "Chi-ken Cra-zi". We traveled to what for us was the other side of the world to the beautiful City of Sugarland but it was worth it. 

We experienced wonderful company, good music and yes, delicious and fresh comida!! We also learned a little about how the restaurant is operated and how they manage to create such fresh food everyday. Let me tell you, it's some hard work but the awesome staff of El Pollo Loco in Sugarland led by Tara Beam do a great job and were so friendly. 

After experiencing the great food we hung out and enjoyed the fun night!

And, I am not sure if I was the only one that noticed but the staff has the best shirts with great sayings,  We're "Guaca-holics!" I want one!
