The family meals, priced
| Item | Pickup median | Range read | Delivery median | Serves | Per head |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Family Meal - Chicken | $53.00 | $45.00 to $59.00 | $69.00 | four to six | $13.25 |
| Family Meal - Sofritas | $53.00 | $45.00 to $59.00 | $69.00 | four to six | $13.25 |

| Family Meal - Carnitas | $58.00 | $50.00 to $64.00 | $75.00 | four to six | $14.50 |
| Family Meal - Beef Barbacoa | $64.00 | $56.00 to $70.00 | $83.00 | four to six | $16.00 |
| Family Meal - Steak | $64.00 | $56.00 to $70.00 | $83.00 | four to six | $16.00 |
The kits were on all 368 menus read, $53.00 for chicken or Sofritas to $64.00 for steak or barbacoa at the medians, $13.25 to $16.00 a head at four people and $8.83 to $10.67 at six. Four chicken burritos at the median are $39.20, so the chicken kit costs $13.80 more than four entrees and $5.80 less than six; the kit’s ten tortillas, large chips, large guacamole and three large sides are the difference. The family meal against four entrees page sets the two side by side.

The brand’s footnote on every catering price: “Pricing & availability vary by location.” The catering cost guide and the catering per head tool run the per-head arithmetic against the kits.
Several entrees in one basket
The app takes any number of entrees as one order at the counter price each, $9.80 for a chicken burrito at the median, with the add-ons per entree ($2.95 for guacamole, $1.70 for queso blanco and $4.00 to $6.00 for a second portion of protein). One basket is one qualifying purchase for rewards: “Purchases of multiple menu items in a single transaction may count as no more than one qualifying purchase.” On the named BOGO days the pair is the cheapest route: “The BUY-ONE-GET-ONE (BOGO) promotion is limited to five free entrées per check and is subject to availability.”
Delivery for a group
The brand’s delivery menu prices every item higher (a chicken family meal $69.00 against $53.00 at the medians) and its terms set a minimum and a maximum: “Minimum order $10 USD / $12 CAD excluding tax and fees; maximum item numbers apply as well.” The ordering menu marks the family meals “Limit one per bag”.
