The reward needs a $5.00 purchase, which the cheapest kid’s meal ($4.60) or chips and queso ($4.90) clears; an adult entree at $9.80 clears it with room.
The other free guac
- On a veggie entree, always: “Includes our fresh guacamole and your choice of beans.” The veggie burrito or bowl is $9.80 at the median, the chicken price, with guacamole in the build.
- On a birthday: “Members can choose one birthday reward during their birthday month, pick from chips, guac, queso, or a drink.”
- From points: 500 points on the exchange ladder buys guac, which at $2.95 on a burrito is 0.59 cents a point; the rewards points guide prices the ladder.
What it does not cover
