Pollo Asado Tacos (3)Limited time

What Chipotle says it is

Chipotle’s printed nutrition sheet describes a order of three tacos as: “Your choice of three crispy corn or soft flour tortillas with meat, salsa, cheese or sour cream and romaine lettuce.”

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”.

On 25 September 2026 the Pollo Asado Tacos (3) was listed at all 368 restaurants read, in 48 states and DC. 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

The ordering menu lists the Pollo Asado Tacos (3) at 180 calories. That figure is the 4 oz of Pollo Asado alone: the tortilla, the rice, the beans, the salsas and the toppings are chosen on the line and are not in it. This site prints that figure as the listing and never as the meal.

Six parts make the classic build, 680 calories in all: Pollo Asado (180 calories), Soft Flour Tortilla (taco) (three, a taco order, 3 oz) (250 calories), Fresh Tomato Salsa (25 calories), Monterey Jack Cheese (110 calories), Sour Cream (110 calories) and Romaine Lettuce (5 calories). The other reference builds: light at 410 calories and loaded at 1,325 calories. Chipotle’s printed sheet gives a built order of three tacos as 390 to 1,140 calories; the classic build sits inside that range.

Protein runs 44 g across the classic build, 6.5 g per 100 calories, and sodium 1,600 mg, 70 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

Between $9.05 and $12.70 for pickup depending on the restaurant; $10.40 is the median across 368 menus, 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 Tacos (3) at $9.80 and the Steak Tacos (3) at $11.80 among the seven taco orders 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 order of three tacos: 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 $1.50 at the median ($1.50 to $1.50, 367 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

The listed protein alone is 9 percent of a 2,000 calorie day by calories and 15 percent of the 2,300 mg 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 70 percent of the sodium daily value. Carbohydrate runs 51 g with 4 g of fiber (14 percent of the 28 g daily value); fat 32 g, of which 15.5 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 wheat and gluten, sulphites and dairy, by the rows for its parts; it is not vegetarian (Pollo Asado rules it out).

On the tortilla the brand is plain: “If you avoid gluten, don’t eat our flour tortillas. If you are highly sensitive to gluten and would like us to change our gloves, just let us know at the start of your order.” Crispy corn tortillas are the gluten free choice on a taco order, with this caution: “You should be aware items containing corn, including corn tortillas (chips and crispy corn tortillas) and corn salsa, may have trace amounts of gluten from potentially co-mingling with gluten-containing grains in the field.” 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 Salad at $10.40 and Pollo Asado Quesadilla at $10.95.
