Lotsa home cookin’ goin on

chinolocos — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 20:03:06 +0000

We do things old school-style at Chino Locos. There’s really lotsa cooking going on. All of our sauces are homemade from scratch. From the chipotle sauce, the awesome ginger relish, to the tasty and hot, hot sauce. All homemade from scratch. We cook everyday. The slow-roast pork cooks for over 5hrs. The Pollo Loco roasts to tasty perfection everyday in our ovens. And if you order steak, fish or vegan, those are cooked on the spot for your order. So try one today and don’t hesitate to give the chow mein noodles a try. We are chino, by the way. See you soon.

Thanks for the feedback, Rich

Rich, a customer of ours, recently took the time out of his busy life to send us this awesome email:

Hi guys. Rich here. I picked up the Sweeeet and the Rib Special.

I’m half way into the Rib Special, and it’s awesome.

Keep up the good work, guys.

Cheers
It’s certainly customers like Rich that keep our mojo on the positive and give us that extra drive to continue striving to cookup delicious, nutritious, and fair-priced burritos. We appreciate your business, Rich and look forward to seeing you soon!

Fish Fantastic

chinolocos — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:41:01 +0000

Where else can you get a fish burrito in this city, that isn’t battered and deep-fried? At Chino Locos, the fish burrito is a top-seller simply for that reason, it’s NOT deep-fried. The filets of white-fish are seasoned and sauteed to order and made fresh so that the flavours are fresh and the fish remains moist and delicious. Served with all the toppings, including guacamole, cheese and sour cream for only $6.99 + taxes. Hook yourself up with one of the finest, today.

We Recommend the house signature

When new customers walk in and are slightly perplexed by the menu options, they always ask what we recommned. And our answer is to go with #1 from the menu – the asian slow roast pork burrito (properly named “Sweeeeet”). This lean and tender cut of pork is carefully marinated overnight and slow roasted for 3hours to give it that delicious texture and flavourful aroma. And how to eat it? Get it with a medium-spice, fully-loaded with Chow Mein noodles for only $6.99 + taxes. You’ll be glad you ordered it by name – Sweeeeeet.

Spicy Juicy Vegan

Customer Dave Burrows wrote to us recently, “thank you for the spicy juicy vegans today, it is so delicious, you guys are doing a great job, I will be spreading the word.“ Mr. Burrows, thank YOU for the feedback and taking the time to write us. We at Chino Locos look forward to seeing you soon.

Straight Outta Italy

Quench your thirst. Chino Locos is now serving San Pelligrino aranciata (orange) and limonata (lemon)! Imported from Italy, the San Pelligrino brand has been finding it’s way onto our dinner tables at fancy restaurants for years – and at $$ per bottle! Now, Chino Locos is bringing you that touch of class you’re used to enjoying, for only $1.50 each (individual size). Try one of these refreshing drinks the next time you’re in da house for a burrito.

Kung Fu Tex Mex

chinolocos — Tue, 05 May 2009 15:09:58 +0000

What is an Asian burrito? Well, we take the best of popular Asian cuisine such as variety in texture, ingredient mix, freshness, cooking technique and flavour and modernize the experience with an easy-to-eat, grab n go burrito while staying true to Tex Mex as well. Sounds strange, but the two mix really well.

The Tex Mex flavours and philosophy is represented with a delicious homemade chipotle sauce, fresh guacamole, shredded cheese, dollops of sour cream, freshly squeezed lime, and cilantro. And of course, a delicously toasted tortilla shell – now available in your choice of classic white tortilla OR whole-wheat tortilla. (I personally prefer the classic white tortilla for texture and toast-ability) The two food cultures marry well as familiar flavours from both cuisines hit your palatte in an old skool, modern twist. You know you’re eating something very familiar but at the same time very new. Either way, it tastes damn tasty good.

Rice or Noodles – you decide

chinolocos — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 00:20:22 +0000

Some would argue that a burrito just isn’t a burrito without rice. But if you had a choice between rice and noodles in your burrito – what would you say then? We call our rice, Rustic Rice, because it’s healthy alternative to your everyday burrito rice offering. Our rice is a triple-medley of rice grains cooked together to create a purplish-red foundation of nutrition and flavour. You may even find this rice at some fine dining establishments, but try to get them to stuff it in a burrito for you (Note: if you try this, let us know what happened!). And part of what makes us “new” Mexican burritos is that we offer the people something “new” like stir-fried noodles with sprouts and scallions in your burrito. Some die-hard burrito eaters say they taste better than rice, and are less messy to eat. While others are tried and true rice fanatics. Whatever you decide, you’ll always get a choice of rice or noodles in your burrito at Chino Locos.
