The limited time chicken
Pollo Asado is the marinated chicken the brand brought back on 31 August 2026 with a new recipe: “Experience the fresh taste of lime and cilantro with limited time only Pollo Asado. Juicy, grilled Adobo chicken marinated with freshly-squeezed lime, finished with fresh hand-chopped cilantro, and seasoned with garlic and Mexican spices.” It carries 29 g of protein per 4 oz against the chicken’s 32 g, costs $0.60 more on every adult format at the medians ($10.40 against $9.80 as a burrito) and has no chart row yet, so this site marks it free of nothing. The brand says it will not stay: “No, Pollo Asado is only available at Chipotle for a limited time. Our new and improved Pollo Asado recipe brings forward freshly squeezed lime and hand-chopped cilantro.”
Price
Neither carries a price of its own: both are included in an entree at no separate charge on every menu read. A second portion is priced: $4.00 at the median for Chicken and $4.60 at the median for Pollo Asado.

Allergens and diets on the chart

How this page is read
Every price on this page is a range read from 368 restaurants’ own ordering menus in 48 states and DC on 25 September 2026, printed with the count of restaurants behind it and the brand’s own delivery price beside it; every calorie and nutrient figure is Chipotle’s own record from its nutrition calculator, and every allergen mark is its own chart row or tag. The side by side table above prints every published figure both items carry; a blank cell means the record does not publish it. An entree’s record is its protein alone, which is why the formats compare as builds.
