Poco Loco ATL

This week’s Weekly Meat Burrito started with our long time pal Chef Arnaldo Castillo, the chef and owner behind Tio Lucho’s. Besides being a James Beard Foundation official fancy-pants finalist, we also think Chef Arnaldo is one of the baddest around. (We love his unique and fun perspective, “who else has ceviche and collard greens in the same restaurant?!”)

At Tio Lucho’s, Chef Arnaldo serves Lomo Saltado, a classic Peruvian stir-fry made with beef, onions and tomatoes, traditionally served with rice and french fries. For this breakfast burrito collaboration, he took the idea in a new direction and did a rich, “sausagey” pork version called Puerco Saltado. (Pork equals breakfast is the idea!)

Saltado and fried potatoes belong together, so he traded the usual french fries for crispy tater tots, then we added cilantro lime rice, 5N Pastures eggs and quesadilla cheese. And of course it is wrapped in our house made Poco Loco flour tortilla and finished with this week’s salsa.

The Adrian is available this week only at Poco Loco Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday from 7:30 AM - 1:00 PM. (Yes, we know today is Wednesday. Feel free to punish the Cheffys!)

THE TIO LUCHO WEEKLY MEAT BURRITO: “The Adrian” $10 Tio Luchos Puerco Saltado, cilantro lime rice, tater tots, 5N Farm Eggs and quesadilla cheese. All in our house made flour tortilla served with our weekly salsa.

Tater tots: terrifically tasty, tantalizingly tender, tremendously toasted, temptingly textured, thoughtfully tossed, terribly thrilling, triumphantly towering, truly transcendent, totally treasured, timeless treats, tickling tastebuds, triggering tummy-twirling, toe-tapping, table-thumping, tray-tilting, takeout-tempting, top-tier triumphs.

AKA the binder for this week’s Meaty Breakfast Burrito. 😉 Stay tuned, we have a really fun one for you this week!

Swipe to the end for the win! We have lots of exciting things happening in the Poco world this week, but before we get into it, here’s the dad joke of the week: “What’s a tomato favorite dance? The Salsa!” 🍅💃
