POCO LOCO ❤️’S ELENA RUZ! IYKYK… The Elena Ruz is a Cuban sandwich named after a woman who knew exactly what she liked. And we have it as this week’s lunch special for just one more day.

Elena Ruz Valdés-Fauli was a young Havana socialite in the late 1920s and early 1930s. She came from the kind of world where people dressed with panache, went out often and gathered in the city’s cafés after long nights with friends. One of those places was El Carmelo, a well-known café in Havana.

Elena had a favorite order. She asked for turkey, cream cheese and strawberry jam on soft medianochebread, warmed until the bread turned golden. It was sweet, savory, delicate and very unique. She ordered it often enough that El Carmelo eventually added it to the menu and named it after her.

Our version carries that same spirit with smoked lemon pepper turkey, whipped cream cheese, guava strawberry jam and medianoche bread.

It is a small piece of Cuban food history, named for a woman with good taste and a sandwich order worth remembering!

WE ARE CELEBRATING ONE EXTRA SPECIAL HUMAN TODAY!!! We love and appreciate you Alex, thank you for making Poco Loco shine so bright! “I’m a pretty firm believer that all people that you encounter and cross paths with play a huge part in creating the chapters that make up each of our own life books. Alex came into my life first as a guest of Poco Loco, and then an employee, a manager, then a friend and now a business partner. Alex is one of the kindest and most thoughtful and amazing folks that I know, and I look forward to seeing what he continues to add to my and Poco’s book of life! It’s his birthday tomorrow, but we celebrate now, today at Poco!! So get on over there, fill that belly, and wish this freakin’ unicorn of a human the happiest of hatchdays!” - Chef Nick about Chef Alex

If Staplehouse and Poco Loco had a baby, what would it look like? A burrito with the snazziest sausage you have ever tasted of course! Chef Ryan, Chef Nick and Chef Alex have come together to make one of the tastiest breakfast burritos in the galaxy. I ate one myself this morning and it is life changing. To be honest I wish I had another to eat. But enough about me, here is what you can expect for ONE WEEK only at Poco Loco courtesy of our dear friends at Staplehouse.

“THE CHUPACABRA” BREAKFAST BURRITO

Staplehouse Chicken Sausage, Rajas y Tomatoes con Crema, homefries, 5N Farm eggs and quesadilla cheese. All in our house made flour tortilla served with our weekly salsa.

The origin story of this Staplehouse Sausage:
“It eats like an Italian sausage, very fatty and juicy from grinding the skins, dark meat only. It has Calabrian, parm, garlic, thyme, fennel seed, and a tiny bit of coriander. I’ve been pairing it with asparagus on a pizza with a triple cream cow cheese. It’s fire with eggs, I make myself a scramble every now and then.”
- Chef Ryan, Staplehouse

Our musings:
“Since its founding, Staplehouse has existed as a place of love and a place to nourish people, either through their food or their many acts of service, and that rings even louder today than it did in 2015. This sausage is the creation of Chef Ryan Westlake and is a shining example of his mindful and flavor-packed approach to feeding folks, the same approach that Staplehouse was founded upon.”
-Chef Nick

Stay tuned! 

“This is a rich, fatty dark-meat Italian sausage that eats juicy and indulgent from grinding the skins right in, loaded with Calabrian chili heat, parm umami, garlic, thyme, fennel seed, and a whisper of coriander.” - Chef Ryan, Staplehouse

More to come soon on our Staplehouse Sausage showdown…  🤫

Come hang with us and get your hands on some amazing Big Green Egg swag while supplies last!!! Plus, you get to taste something absolutely incredible that we have been perfecting just for this day.

Swipe away for a preview of what we will be cooking and peep below for what Chef Nick and Chef Alex have to say:

“Our Poco Loco Beef Barbacoa is made with beef shoulder that is heavily seasoned in our house rub the day before cooking. After 24 hours we load the Big Green Egg up with lump charcoal and oak to give our shoulders a nice char and smoke bath. We then take the shoulder, marinate it in our barbacoa sauce, wrap it in banana leaves, and steam it for several hours until it falls apart. For National Cookout Day on May 9th you will be able to enjoy this Beef Barbacoa from the Big Green Egg as our weekly family meal or as a take away provision to enjoy in the comfort of your home!”

Mark your calendars, tell your friends, and prepare for the most delicious celebration of National Cookout Day!

Hello gang! We have a route for you any of you traveling from the east tomorrow. Our lovely city is doing some very important road work and to help you find your way to some breakfast burritos, keep reading to follow the yellow brick road to Poco of Oz!

Poco Loco alternate route due to temporary road closure:

If you are coming from Decatur or Oakhurst take East Lake Dr north and turn right onto Park Place NE. It will bring you right to the back side entrance. Park anywhere (legally!) and we will be waiting with burritos and provisions!

Pro tip: you can also type in our address on Google and Apple Maps and they should reroute you accordingly! Blame the tech lords if they give you any route troubles.
