Chipotle Brings Back Chicken al Pastor Across Five Markets—Here's What You Need to Know
Chipotle Mexican Grill announced the return of a beloved menu item to restaurants in the U.S., Canada, the UK, France, and Germany. Starting February 10, 2026, the fast-casual chain is reintroducing Chicken al Pastor as part of its 2026 menu innovation roadmap, featuring three to four limited-time protein options alongside new sides and dips.
Understanding Chicken al Pastor: Flavor Profile and Ingredients
So what is Chicken al Pastor? This signature dish combines freshly grilled chicken with a sophisticated marinade crafted from seared morita peppers and ground achiote—traditional Mexican spices that deliver bold, complex flavors. The preparation is balanced with a hint of pineapple sweetness to cut through the heat, then finished with fresh lime juice and hand-chopped cilantro for brightness and freshness. The result is a protein option that stands out for its depth of flavor and culinary authenticity.
Promotion Timeline: How to Get $0 Delivery
Chipotle is sweetening the comeback with a special offer. From Saturday, February 14, through Saturday, February 28, customers ordering Chicken al Pastor through the Chipotle app or website will enjoy completely free delivery—no minimum purchase required. This two-week promotional window gives diners ample opportunity to experience the menu addition without additional fees.
Market Response and Financial Impact
The announcement comes as Chipotle continues to drive innovation across its international operations. In pre-market trading on Tuesday, CMG shares were quoted at $39.59, representing a 0.34 percent decline on the New York Stock Exchange, reflecting broader market movements rather than reaction specific to this menu announcement.
