Porto's Grilled Chicken Cilantro Caesar Salad
Prices and details last checked: Oct 29, 2026
Porto's Grilled Chicken Cilantro Caesar is a Caesar salad with a Latin twist, and it's nothing like the standard version.
Here's the price, what goes in the bowl, and when the plain version makes more sense.
What is the Porto's Grilled Chicken Cilantro Caesar Salad?
Porto's starts with iceberg lettuce and Tuscan kale, then adds a grilled, marinated chicken breast.
On top go cotija cheese, roasted pepitas, crushed Mariquitas (plantain chips) and croutons made from Porto's own French baguette.
It's dressed with a tangy cilantro Caesar dressing. According to Porto's menu, the chicken is sourced from multigenerational family farms.

Grilled Chicken Cilantro Caesar Salad calories and nutrition
Porto's doesn't publish calories or nutrition facts for its menu, including the Grilled Chicken Cilantro Caesar Salad.
A salad sounds like the light choice, but the dressing, cotija, pepitas and plantain chips all add calories. If you're counting, ask whether the dressing can come on the side.
Ingredients and allergens
Porto's describes the Grilled Chicken Cilantro Caesar Salad as made with:
- Iceberg lettuce
- Tuscan kale
- Grilled marinated chicken breast
- Cotija cheese
- Roasted pepitas
- Crushed Mariquitas (plantain chips)
- French baguette croutons
- Cilantro Caesar dressing
Porto's doesn't publish an allergen chart. From its own description, the Grilled Chicken Cilantro Caesar Salad contains:
- Wheat, from the baguette croutons.
- Milk, from the cotija cheese.
Caesar dressings are often made with egg and anchovy. Porto's doesn't list what's in its cilantro version, so ask if either matters to you.
We can't confirm anything beyond that. Porto's kitchens handle nuts, dairy, wheat and meat, so tell the counter about any allergy before you order.
How to order the Grilled Chicken Cilantro Caesar Salad

How it's different from a classic Caesar
A classic Caesar is romaine, parmesan and croutons. Porto's swaps in iceberg and Tuscan kale, uses cotija, and adds pepitas and crushed plantain chips for crunch.
The dressing gets cilantro, which gives it a greener, brighter taste than the usual garlic and lemon.
With or without chicken
The same salad without chicken is the Cilantro Caesar Salad, at $8.79.
Adding the grilled chicken breast brings it to $11.29, so the chicken costs $2.50 extra.
