Chipotle's Chicken al Pastor is back

For a limited time only, the famous and overly-requested chicken dish from Chipotle Mexican Grill will be available. 

To celebrate the big launch back to the UK, Chipotle is offering a £0 delivery fee* on Uber Eats orders of at least £15 from 14th March through 28th March.

Prepared fresh daily in small batches, Chicken al Pastor is made with fresh chicken hot off the grill, a rich marinade of seared morita peppers and ground achiote, balanced with a splash of pineapple for the right amount of heat. It is then finished with fresh lime and hand-chopped coriander. 

Chicken al Popular

Following its debut back in March last year and back by popular demand, Chicken al Pastor delighted fans across the world with a new flavour that quickly became a fan favourite. 

Chicken al Pastor’s tenderness and bold flavour captured the taste buds of guests, who have flooded Chipotle’s social media petitioning for the return of the protein since it left menus last August. There have been three times more requests to “bring back Chicken al Pastor” on social media than any other limited time offering in the brand’s history.

Speaking on it's sucess: "About one in five transactions included Chicken al Pastor when it was featured on our menu last year," said Chris Brandt, chief brand officer at Chipotle. "Given the performance and the fans wanting its return so enthusiastically, we are thrilled to make this the fastest item to ever come back to Chipotle.”
