Pollo asado family-style taco kit with tortillas, guacamole, beans and rice

Chicken tacos get overlooked at a lot of taquerias. Ours earn their spot because we use chicken thigh, which stays juicy on the grill and picks up real char.

What's in it

The Pollo Asado Taco starts with char-grilled chicken thigh on a handmade corn tortilla made in-house. It's topped with onions, cilantro, guacamole and salsa verde, the same classic finish as our carne asada, so the two make an easy pair. A Pollo Asado Taco is $6.99.

Taco Tuesday and family nights

Pollo asado is one of the four tacos that drop to $1.99 all day on Taco Tuesday. Younger guests can order the Kids Chicken Taco ($7.50), which comes with rice, beans, seasonal fruit and apple juice. Feeding everyone at home instead? The Pollo Asado Family Style kit ($65.00) brings 1 lb of char-grilled chicken thighs with condiments, rice and beans for build-your-own tacos.

The Pollo Asado Burrito ($14.95) wraps the chicken with lettuce, salsa fresca, rice, guacamole and our Mexican cheese blend. Pollo is also a protein choice on the Plato de la Casa and Maria's Fajita Plate. For office lunches and parties, pollo asado is available for taco catering, and a pollo asado burrito tray of 12 halves is $55.00.
