Café Med realizes its own limitations and believes in fair competition. Therefore, we incorporate five branded concepts within our retail operations with local and national vendors.



 

Café Med features El Pollo Loco, pronounced “L Po-yo Lo-co” and Spanish for “The Crazy Chicken,” is the nation’s leading quick-service restaurant chain specializing in marinated, flame-broiled chicken. Since its beginning over 25 years ago, the secret to El Pollo Loco’s success has been its signature flame-broiled chicken-- chicken that is hand-marinated in special herbs, spices, and fruit juices and then flame-broiled to perfection and hand-cut. It is served with warm tortillas, freshly prepared salsas and your choice of side accompaniments including pinto beans and Spanish rice. El Pollo Loco was first introduced at the Medical Center in 1991 and has captured an important segment of our customer base providing service to 250,000 customers each year.

 

Starbuck’s Coffee, Patti Oliver, Department director insists on serving a great cup of coffee. Café Med is proud to bring Starbucks to Café Med as well as participating in the Fair Trade program available through Starbucks. Starbucks Fair Trade coffee is a blend of mild and delicate Latin American Coffees. Fair Trade certification increases farmers' incomes through forming cooperatives and linking them directly to coffee importers. Farmers are guaranteed a premium over the prevailing price being paid for coffee on the international market. Café Med brews 22,000 gallons of coffee per year.

Individual Pizzas are sold in convenient carryout boxes with three choices of toppings: cheese, pepperoni, and a vegetarian option.

Numero Uno uses only top quality products, fresh when possible. Our dough is made according to a secret recipe developed for us by the founder of Numero Uno. It has been copied but never duplicated. Our meat sauce, marinara sauce, cheese, pepperoni, Italian sausage and meatballs are all made to our specifications and in accordance with the recipes developed by us.
