El Pollo Loco healthy choices #ad

March 29, 2015 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own. Just because you’re watching what you eat doesn’t mean that you have to stop eating out.

El Pollo Loco has shrimp! #ad

February 26, 2015 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

My love affair with El Pollo Loco’s Cheesecake Chimichanga #ad

November 30, 2014 by Sandra Fernandez 2 Comments

This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own. I am in love with the Cheesecake Chimichangas from El Pollo Loco. What’s not to love?

This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own. It’s here! It’s here! I’ve been waiting for the opening of El Pollo Loco every since I attended a pre-opening event a few months ago. Until then, I’d never tasted the food or really knew anything about the restaurant. But I did taste the […]
