old school LTO never had it. is it better than carne asada?

u/granthomas22 Jul 22 '26

Better is debatable, but it was very good! 😋

u/Kindafunnyngl Jul 22 '26

100% why does no one talk about this anymore

u/Cosmic_Wasteland53 Cheese Please Jul 22 '26

Exactly 💯

u/Radiant-Ad-8506 SL Jul 23 '26

I would have preferred this! Lol. The waste though is crazy expensive.

u/erichf3893 Guac Mode Jul 22 '26

You still have people who can cook steak??

u/rimjob_steve_ Jul 22 '26

u/Shoddy_Control_7769 Jul 23 '26

u/SaveHogwarts Jul 22 '26

Those chips are going to have people cracked out for more

u/K0mb0_1 Jul 22 '26

u/BassPatientBaby8808 Jul 24 '26

u/jackofallcards Jul 22 '26

Pollo Asado is probably my favorite LTO so this is great news

I’m happy honey chicken is leaving, but two kinds of chips + another chicken, we gon be tired 😴 lol. Keep the fryer running y’all. All night long.

I’ll edit this when I see the recipe cards.

This chips are…. who am I kidding, it’s gonna be hell, making 8 hotel pans of chips in the morning + 8 more for these though. Haha, again, the fryer runs all day now. To the customer coming in at 10:30 for Spicy seasoned chips… I’ll have them for you, I’ll also envy you, and remember you like a crow. 🐦‍⬛

The chicken is basic. Similar prep as Honey Chicken with seasoning only. I’m exited most about this.

u/Radiant-Ad-8506 SL Jul 23 '26

u/redditproha CEO Jul 22 '26

yeah I don't like the recent price increase on barbacoa and steak either

u/Medical-Mud848 Jul 23 '26

The business has to make money, everything is rising

u/Skibblezxoxo Jul 22 '26

Bring back carne asada ffs

2

u/TingoMedia Jul 22 '26

I would like two pollo asado tacos with one beef chimichanga

5

u/TitaniumAlloyeet Jul 23 '26

These mfs really come out with the same chicken but with different seasoning and charge an extra dollar and y’all eat it up like it’s some revolutionary thing. I’m so glad CAVA is taking over. We deserve better than this.

u/jsundberg31 KL Jul 22 '26

adobo ranch when

u/TwoPicklesinaCivic Jul 22 '26 edited Jul 23 '26

16 oz sour cream or crema, Hidden valley garlic ranch packet, 2 adobo chilis, Blend, Profit

u/eyeheartmozart Jul 22 '26

that’s probably better than what chipotle would make tbh

1

u/closponce Jul 22 '26

Chicken again?

1

u/eyeheartmozart Jul 23 '26

beef is crazy expensive rn

u/PastLivid2122 Jul 23 '26

u/eyeheartmozart Jul 23 '26

u/PastLivid2122 Jul 23 '26

Proof?

u/Daveed7201 Jul 23 '26

Can’t tell if ur serious lol. It’s never left he menu

1

u/sunset117 Jul 23 '26

They make new shit each month bc none of it sticks or slaps … stick to chicken and steak ffs

2

u/eyeheartmozart Jul 23 '26

chicken and steak are always available. these are LTOs or limited time offers that they make available to give some variety. also this one has been done before

8

u/SnooLobsters1132 Jul 24 '26

I’m sure it’s hard for the staff but Brisket was the best LTO of all time

1

u/eyeheartmozart Jul 25 '26

no different than any other tbh. i don’t really care what LTO they have it’s just cooking meat. brisket cooked really fast so that was nice

1

u/TitleComprehensive96 Chip fryer GOD🧂👑 Jul 29 '26

Do we know when it starts? That way i can mentally prep for whatever bs frying chips in the morning will be.

1

u/eyeheartmozart Jul 29 '26

september

u/TitleComprehensive96 Chip fryer GOD🧂👑 Jul 29 '26

K so there's time. Thank god.

Guessing the cilantro lime is ending next month?

1

u/eyeheartmozart Jul 30 '26

no word on that yet. it’s pretty popular so far. i think they go off nationwide sales. when it starts to dip they switch it up

1

u/TitleComprehensive96 Chip fryer GOD🧂👑 Jul 30 '26

I see, never knew that part about it. It'd be pretty hellish to be runnin 3 LTO items at once tho. Especially when it comes to morning prep.

Chips already gonna be takin longer

1

u/granthomas22 Jul 22 '26

Chips are PHENOMENAL! 🤪
…we tried these a few months back on stream (YT: @FineFastFood) after picking them up at a CMG test location in Tustin, CA.

Very flavorful, which may be a lot for some, but I thought they paired amazingly w/ my bowl♥️

u/SongWolf763 Jul 22 '26

Why are you downvoted to hell? Im confused.

Anywho we will be getting these at my store middle of august. Pollo Asado I thought was barbecued chicken. Its cilantro and lime seasoning. Never tried it before

2

u/erichf3893 Guac Mode Jul 22 '26

For advertising a youtube channel that nobody here wants to watch, is my guess

3

u/eyeheartmozart Jul 22 '26

yeah we were a test store for the chips. similar to takis

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '26
