Volume all the way up ‘cause we are keeping it HARDCORE this week! You already know we’re rocking out with MISFITSSS for our weekly Meat Breakfast Burrito... And we must admit, they sonically inspired the heck out of us! So much so that our ears are currently ringing from listening to the jammiest of jams all day in the kitchen. 

But back to this chord ripper of a sandwich featured here tho... We took a Philly classic, gave it the Poco Loco treatment and cranked it all the way up to 11! (Who is old enough to know that reference??)

A NOTE FROM CHEF:

“Happy Monday, kith and kin!!

Fall is here, and we’re bringing out the big dawgs this week with Pine Street Market Bacon Burritos for our meat special and Bella Vita Farms Mushroom Tinga for our vegetable offering. Both are heavy hitters and have you covered any way you like!

Our spooky Green Chile Queso is bubbling away, and we’ve got Pork Belly Carnitas with fresh tortillas to take care of those nasty ghouls and goblins.

We’ve also got Fried Lamb and Oaxaca Cheese Tacos to satisfy your lunchtime cravings and a big ole’ Smoked Chicken Plate for supper.

Alex and I will both be at Freedom Park this Saturday, so come on out and show out!”

THE MEAT CLEAVER’S REVENGE!!!

As the legend goes, late at night during Halloween week, a slab of killer bacon escaped from Pine Street Market and made its way through the dark streets of Atlanta. Driven by an insatiable hunger, it slipped into Poco Loco’s kitchen, convinced it had found its next victim.

But as the bacon crept toward the kitchen, a monstrous burrito began to stir. Its enormous tortilla slowly unfurled across the counter before wrapping itself around the terrified bacon. The bacon fought desperately to escape, but the burrito tightened its grip until the last sizzling strip disappeared inside.

When the Poco Loco team arrived the next morning, the killer bacon had vanished without a trace. All that remained was an unusually large burrito with a suspiciously porky-y aroma.

Naturally… Poco Loco put the swine-stuffed burrito

THE KILLER BURGER RETURNS!!! As the legends goes: the patrons of Poco Loco had been begging for the return of their beloved Green Chile Cheeseburger. Little did they know, every desperate plea echoed deep into the underworld, where something sinister was stirring…

Far beneath the earth, a cheeseburger had grown restless. It had been away from the menu for far too long, and its patience was running out! As Halloween approached, the spirits of the Kirkwood underworld heard the hungry howling and decided to intervene. On the stroke of midnight, they opened the gates of hell and unleashed a towering inferno that engulfed the cheeseburger whole.

When the flames finally parted, the Green Chile Cheeseburger emerged with a devilish heat and a burning desire to reclaim its rightful place on the Poco Loco menu.

The Devil, however, was furious. Because, alas, he had been saving that cheeseburger for himself.

In other words…. THE GREEN CHILE CHEESEBURGER IS BACK THIS WEEK AT POCO LOCO FOR OUR LUNCH SPECIAL! AND IT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AS I TYPE THIS MESSAGE!!!!!

Come hungry if you know what’s good for you.

- Part 1 of Chef’s Note this week

Roundin’ out all this culinary propaganda are some old-school dirt cakes for the weekend and some of Chef Alex’s Memaw’s famous Meatloaf and Green Chile Mash for suppertime!”

And it’s time! The Green Chile Cheeseburger rides again this week for our lunch special, with pillowy buns coming from our dear friends at The Daily!

- Part 2 of Chef’s Note this week

(SOUND ON)

WE FALL SO HARD!

Can you feel that crispy crunch in the air?? Well, that means we have a new season of Chef Nick Melvin’s inflatables. (Among other things!)

Come for a burrito, stay for the autumn ambiance and leave only once you have passed through our giant two-story-tall blow-up pumpkin.

And if any of you know where Chef is storing these inflatables, please let us know. We have never seen him setting them up or taking them down. They just come and go depending on his festive whimsy.

Things you can potentially experience at Poco this week: Roasted Butternut Squash, Cheffy in a wig and wise words from our chalkboard.

A LIL’ LOCO IN KIRKWOOD!
(A Tale Told by Chef Nick Melvin)

“It was a cold, dark night,
A clear white moon.
The Poco Loco gang hit the streets,
Ready to consume.

Just hit the east side,
rolling through Kirkwood,
On a mission to spread Poco love,
through the neighborhood.”

(Keep swiping to read the rest of this glorious gab from Chef Nick Melvin!)


“Saw a car full of Corned Beef Suadero, ain’t no need to tweak,
Wrapped in fresh flour tortillas, making everybody weak.
All the homies showed up, and the vibes were sweet,
One bite in, they could barely stand on their feet.

Got a play on Chicken Cordon Bleu, and it’s coming through,
Pork milanesa, Honey Macha Ham and Swiss, too.
Caper Dijonnaise, Arugula Citrus Salad, all in the mix,
Stacked on a torta for that Poco Loco fix.

Carne Asada’s gettin’ right, smoking off the BGE,
And soup’s back too, come through and see!”

- The lyrical-miracle that Chef Nick Melvin texted us this morning.

So you have probably seen (or perhaps been tricked by) one of the AI made trailers for part six of Twilight… which prompted our dearest Chef Alexander Edge to name this week’s burritos in honor of these supernatural entities.

And if you grow weary of the digital simulation we live in these days… then come see us because our burrito shop is 100% IRL only!!!

And no, AI was not used to make the award-winning art shown above. I have an incredibly complex 3-layer Adobe file waiting to show as proof of my creative process if anyone would like to see!

Here you can see a breathtaking triumph of postmodern porcine expressionism. The art, titled French Pig, exists somewhere between the untamed genius of Jean-Michel Basquiat and the unapologetic absurdity of French surrealism. The crimson beret, rendered with almost violent confidence, serves as both a declaration of cultural identity and a critique of bourgeois excess, while the piercing blue spectacles suggest a creature who has seen too much, yet somehow understood everything. The artist’s deliberate rejection of anatomical accuracy and traditional artistic training reveal a creative spirit entirely liberated from the oppressive constraints of technical proficiency.
