Dining out can feel like a luxury these days, especially with prices climbing higher and higher.

But this week, several restaurant chains are serving up special promotions designed to make eating out feel exciting again.

If you’re craving something warm and hearty, a sweet breakfast treat, or even a little gourmet indulgence, there’s a deal worth checking out.

These limited-time offers make it easy to treat yourself without straining your budget.

1. El Pollo Loco: Double the Quesadilla, Double the Fun​

Mark your calendars for September 25th because it’s National Quesadilla Day! El Pollo Loco is celebrating by offering Loco Rewards Members a Buy One, Get One Free deal on their famous quesadillas.

That’s right: order one, get another for free. It’s a one-day-only event, so don’t miss your chance to enjoy their fresh, flame-grilled chicken wrapped in a warm, cheesy tortilla.

As one loyal fan put it, “El Pollo Loco feels like one of the few places that offer cheap, healthy, real food.”
