Many restaurants have secret menus with many food items that don’t appear on the regular menu. This may shock you, but yes, you have been missing out on some of these incredible food items from your favorite restaurants. Here are some of the best under-the-radar food items you must try before you die!

Fish tacos are an interesting item on El Pollo Loco’s menu because they were only available at select locations when the restaurant initially started making them. Some El Pollo Loco restaurants have them on the menu, while others do not, making them somewhat exclusive.
Even if they don’t appear on the menu, you can order them, and they will make them for you since most stores carry all the ingredients to make them. They are a healthy alternative to the chicken tacos that are on the menu.

El Pollo Loco is also known for its delicious chicken, but everyone knows greasy skin is unhealthy. 
If you want to opt for a healthier meal by requesting your chicken skinless, they will make it for you! This will give you a high-protein, low-fat meal that is still delicious. 

The Unicorn frappuccino became famous because of its bright pink and blue colors. The cotton candy-colored drink is made with ice, pink powder, sour blue powder, frappuccino syrup, mango syrup, and blue drizzle.
This might be your secret menu item if you have a sweet tooth. It also works if you are just looking for something Instagram-worthy to post. 

The Crystal Ball frappuccino came out after the Unicorn drink gained popularity in 2017. The company found that the colorful frappuccinos were well received, and they basically gained free advertising when people began posting pictures of the fun drinks.
The Crystal Ball frappuccino is a swirly drink that can come in your choice of color—purple, blue, or green. It’s infused with peach tea, peach whipped cream, and candy gem topping.

Touted as the cutest frappuccino of all, the Baby Yoda Frappuccino is another popular item on secret menus. The green color comes from the matcha green tea drink and a caramel drizzle is added around the cup. 
It’s topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and caramel crunchies. The overall color is supposed to represent Yoda’s cloak.

You can order your own butterbeer at Starbucks, which is fairly easy. Simply order a grande iced latte and add 2 pumps of caramel syrup and 2 pumps of toffee nut syrup. 
This will give you a sweet, tasty drink that is guaranteed to make you feel like a witch or wizard at Hogwarts. 

Pickles are a tasty alternative to French fries if you want to switch things up with your sides. This menu item is not well-known, but you can make it at almost any Sonic location.
It is prepared by coating pickles in batter and deep frying until they become tasty, crispy little bites. 

The Pickle Juice Slush is also a trendy food item at Sonic. It was taken away at some point, but they brought it back in 2022.
The Pickle Juice Slush is meant to satisfy pickle cravings with a salty dill flavor mixed with the sweet flavor of a slush. Some who have had it say it tastes like drinking the juice from a pickle juice with a slight hint of sweetness.

Another popular dish in the Southern United States is Frito pie. It is made by covering Fritos in chili sauce and nacho cheese. 
Not every Sonic location will have the ingredients to make the Frito Pie, but it is definitely worth asking. Especially if you’re a fan of nachos and chili. The Frito pie is basically a jazzed-up version of a classic nacho dish. 

In-n-Out doesn’t have a secret menu, but it has some little-known renditions of fan-favorite food items you might not know you can ask for. For instance, you can order an “animal-style” burger, which means adding secret sauce and grilled onions.
It is probably the most popular menu item at In-n-Out. However, not everyone knows you can also order your fries in animal style. If you do, grilled onions, melted cheese, and creamy secret sauce will be piled onto your delicious fries.
