The company plans to stay ahead of the competition by focusing on customer experience. The Loco Group, a Mexican restaurant and bar group in Singapore, has confirmed their plans to launch a fast casual concept that aims to be different from “the usual” Mexican restaurants in the island-nation. Dubbed as Chico Loco, co-founder and director Ajay Parag says that they see an “immense opportunity” as Singaporeans are beginning to look for a high-quality dining experience that also offers low prices. He also mentioned that as most Mexican concepts serve tacos, burritos and nachos, Chico Loco’s signature offering will be a hormone-free Mexican spit-roast chicken. “It will have the same great quality and attention to detail as our restaurants – that will always remain as our core element – but it’s a concept that can be scaled with a lot more ease compared to a full-service restaurant,” Parag exclusively told QSR Media. The Loco Group currently operates Lucha Loco and Super Loco, having a total of three outlets in Singapore with an upcoming fourth site in the island-nation. They also made their way in Indonesia through another Super Loco branch.

The brand will continue to expand in the country for the next five years.
