Chipotle Mexican Grill announced Thursday it is launching pollo asado as it latest limited-time menu item in the U.S. and Canada.
The pollo asado is made with grilled chicken, garlic, fresh lime, guajillo peppers and hand-chopped cilantro.
It marks the first time since its founding that Chipotle has released another chicken option. Its existing adobo chicken is the cheapest meat on its menu and its top-selling protein option.
“Chicken is easily our most popular protein, with many of our most loyal Chipotle customers ordering it the majority of the time,” Chief Marketing Officer Chris Brandt said in a statement.
An entree with pollo asado will sell for an average price of $9.11 in the U.S., 65 cents more expensive than the standard chicken option.
The burrito chain tested the pollo asado at dozens of restaurants in Cincinnati and Sacramento starting in November. Chipotle said feedback and sales for the test were on par with those for its smoked brisket, the chain’s bestselling new menu item in recent history.
The smoked brisket and pollo asado launches are part of the company’s broader menu strategy.

That actually sounds good, but I like mine with a good nip of E-Coli too
E-Coli is free at Chipotle!
Chipotle is nasty!
Cjicken Asado?
Confusing.
Why not just call it “Ano de Pollo”?
I still do not understand how this place is still open. More people died from the food poisoning from them than any other chain that I’m aware of
Good thing I got my pollo vaccine when I was a kid.
Man. This must be some big news right here. I guess I don’t get it.
It’s bizarre, I would rather eat at a roadside taco stand in Nogales Mexico where they cook in an old Mack truck hubcap.
I’d rather wait for Kenny Rogers to re-open locally. I’ll have the brocolli.
Vile weed!
It’s BBQ chicken. Down these parts we’ve got a bunch of chains competing in this field including Pollo Asado, Pollo Loco, Pollo Feliz, and Chickennuevo. All very yummy.
Grill your own over mesquite coals. Cheaper and better.
Better even - sous vide the chicken breasts then grill them w/ the bbq sauce.
That said, I’ve never had a problem w/ Chipotle. It’s been a couple of years, but I never had a bad meal there.
pollo loco rocks!
Assad’s Chicken?
Assad can cook a chicken!
