Score Free Guac On National Avocado Day 2021 In San Diego County

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — National Avocado Day falls annually on July 31 — this year on a Saturday. And to mark the date celebrating the lumpy, bumpy "alligator pear," two area chains are offering deals throughout San Diego County.

Rubio's is giving away free chips and guacamole with any purchase Saturday, while El Pollo Loco is running a promotional contest, the "Guac Pass," to reward diners with free chips and guacamole throughout August.

For El Pollo Loco's offer, a partnership with Avocados From Mexico, all Loco Rewards members, who make a purchase between July 26-31, will be entered to win a Guac Pass, good for one small order of chips and guac any day in August. Customers also can win by commenting on El Pollo Loco’s National Avocado Day Instagram post.

More than 5,000 winners will be randomly selected and notified via email Aug. 1. See contest details here.

To take advantage of the Rubio's freebie, diners use this coupon here to receive a free order of chips and guacamole with any purchase all day July 31. When ordering online at Rubios.com or through the app, use coupon code MKTG1142.
