Pollo Asado SaladLimited time

What Chipotle says it is

Chipotle’s printed nutrition sheet describes a salad as: “Chopped romaine lettuce, baby kale and baby spinach, with choice of beans, meat, salsa, cheese and chipotle-honey vinaigrette.”

The brand’s own page for it says: “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.” The ordering menu tags the listing “Fresh Taste of Lime & Cilantro”.

The Pollo Asado Salad was listed at all 368 restaurants read, in 48 states and DC on 25 September 2026. That makes it a limited time item: on the menus read, and the brand’s own page says it will not stay. One of those menus marked it unavailable on the read day. Asked whether it is permanent, the brand’s page for the protein answers: “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.”

Why the listing and the build differ

180 calories is the listing for the Pollo Asado Salad, and it is the protein alone: 4 oz of Pollo Asado, with nothing else counted. This site prints that figure as the listing and never as the meal.

The classic build on this page comes to 680 calories: Pollo Asado (180 calories), Romaine Lettuce (supergreens salad mix, the salad base, 3 oz) (15 calories), Black Beans (130 calories), Fresh Tomato Salsa (25 calories), Monterey Jack Cheese (110 calories) and Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette (220 calories). The other reference builds: light at 240 calories and loaded at 1,310 calories. Chipotle’s printed sheet gives a built salad as 420 to 910 calories; the classic build sits inside that range.

Protein runs 45 g across the classic build, 6.6 g per 100 calories, and sodium 2,165 mg, 94 percent of the 2,300 mg the FDA uses as the daily value. Press any part in the build above and the bars redraw from that part’s own record.

What the price buys

$9.05 to $12.70 for pickup across 368 restaurants, with a median of $10.40, read on 25 September 2026. The same menus carry Chipotle’s own delivery price: $13.50 at the median, 29.8 percent above pickup, before the service fees the checkout adds. It sits between the Chicken Salad at $9.80 and the Steak Salad at $11.80 among the seven salads on the board. The Pollo Asado premium over chicken is $0.60 at the median on this format.

The cheapest state median on the read date was Kansas at $9.78, the dearest New York at $11.75. A state median stands on eight restaurants at most, so one dear or cheap restaurant moves it; the national range is the safer figure. Pick a state at the top of the page and every price on this site prints that state’s median.

The priced add-ons on a salad: Guacamole $2.95 at the median ($2.85 to $3.20, 368 restaurants), Queso Blanco $1.70 at the median ($1.40 to $1.80, 368 restaurants) and Cilantro Lime Sauce $1.00 at the median ($1.00 to $1.00, 368 restaurants). A second portion of Pollo Asado (double protein) adds $4.60 at the median, $3.95 to $5.70 across 368 restaurants. So the classic build on this page stands at $10.40 and the loaded build at $13.35, the entree plus $2.95 of add-ons at the national medians.

The figures against a day

Against a 2,000 calorie day, the listed 4 oz of Pollo Asado is 9 percent of the calories and 15 percent of the sodium daily value. It carries 29 g of protein, 16.1 g per 100 calories, and 3 g of saturated fat (15 percent of the daily value).

The classic build is 34 percent of a 2,000 calorie day and 94 percent of the sodium daily value. Carbohydrate runs 51 g with 11 g of fiber (39 percent of the 28 g daily value); fat 32.5 g, of which 10.5 g saturated.

Allergens and diets on this order

Chipotle publishes no chart row and no tag for Pollo Asado, so this site marks the listing free of nothing. The classic build on this page contains dairy and sulphites, by the rows for its parts; it is not vegetarian (Pollo Asado rules it out).

Every row on the chart carries the same two cautions: “Individual foods may come into contact with one another during preparation, which is not reflected on this chart.” “Although we do not use eggs, mustard, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, shellfish, or fish as ingredients in our food, Chipotle cannot guarantee the complete absence of these allergens in its restaurants.”

Where else the protein turns up

The same protein feeds the Family Meal - Pollo Asado, $57.00 at the median for four to six people, $14.25 a head at four. For a child, the Pollo Asado Kid’s Build Your Own is $5.70 and Pollo Asado Kid’s Quesadilla is $5.20 at their medians. The same protein in the other formats: Pollo Asado Burrito at $10.40, Pollo Asado Bowl at $10.40, Pollo Asado Tacos (3) at $10.40 and Pollo Asado Quesadilla at $10.95.
