El Pollo Loco is testing a “swicy” new item called Mango Habanero Chicken at eight locations in Los Angeles and Orange counties. The Costa Mesa-based chain describes it as fire-grilled chicken coated with our new sweet and spicy sauce. It is being served in individual and family meals.

“Swicy” is a trendy way to describe sweet and hot flavors. Mango Habanero Chicken is available for a limited time, but sales will help determine whether it becomes a permanent menu item, according to a news release. The test is going on at a restaurant in Lynwood at 11118 Long Beach Blvd.

In Orange County, there are three restaurants in Santa Ana: 101 South Harbor Blvd., 2501 South Bristol St. and 1702 E.

17th St. There are two in Anaheim: 1201 S. Beach Blvd.

and 969 S. Euclid Ave. The other two are at 5251 Beach Blvd.

, Buena Park, and 22381 Antonio Parkway, Rancho Santa Margarita. Information: elpolloloco.com Related Articles.
