Get Free Coffee At El Pollo Loco This Halloween

El Pollo Loco is giving Loco Rewards members a free Caramel Apple ChataCoffee on October 30th and 31st, with a purchase of at least $5. 

Caramel apple is a fall favorite for good reason. It combines iced coffee, Mexican-style horchata, and caramel apple flavor. Horchata brings a sweet, cinnamon-and-vanilla taste to the mix, while the coffee adds a deeper flavor to balance things out.

That combination makes the drink stand out from the usual seasonal coffee options. Pumpkin spice tends to get plenty of attention in the fall, so an apple-inspired coffee offers something a little different for anyone who wants a break from pumpkin-flavored everything.

The Caramel Apple ChataCoffee is for anyone looking for a little caffeine boost or something sweet for the season.

Caramel Apple ChataCoffee Cream Is Also Available For A Limited Time

The regular Caramel Apple ChataCoffee isn’t the only apple-inspired drink on the menu. El Pollo Loco also offers Caramel Apple ChataCoffee Cream for a limited time.

The drink combines iced coffee, horchata, and caramel apple flavor, with cold foam on top. That creamy finish makes it a tempting choice for anyone who likes their coffee smooth and sweet.

The difference between the two versions is simple. The regular Caramel Apple ChataCoffee allows customers to add cold foam if they want it, while the Cream version comes with the topping as part of the drink.

El Pollo Loco Has More Coffee Options Beyond Caramel Apple

Not everyone will be excited about caramel apple in their coffee and that’s fine. El Pollo Loco has other drinks for customers who want something creamy without the seasonal fruit flavor.

One option is ChataCoffee Cream, which is basically iced coffee and horchata with sweet vanilla cold foam. The cinnamon-and-vanilla notes of horchata give this drink a different flavor from the caramel apple version.

This could be a good choice for people who enjoy sweet coffee but aren’t particularly interested in apple flavors. It also offers a way to try the chain’s horchata-and-coffee combination without the seasonal twist.

Then there’s Iced Coffee Cream, which keeps things a little simpler. It pairs iced coffee with cold foam, making it an option for customers who want a creamy coffee without the added horchata flavor.

Is It Worth It?

For anyone already planning to spend at least $5 at El Pollo Loco, this deal sounds like a pretty sweet offer. Loco Rewards members can get a free ChataCoffee on October 30th or 31st, making it a good opportunity to try one of the chain’s specialty drinks without paying extra for the beverage.

The best value comes from pairing the coffee with menu items like Pumpkin Pie Mini Churros, Cinnamon Churros or even BRC Burrito.
