The infamous fast food chain will be open to the public on April 9 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and April 10 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. as a lead-up to the show’s premiere at 10 p.m. Monday. Although there’s no official menu for the 243 Pearl Street pop-up, fans will be able to sample the fictitious restaurant’s delicious new curly fries, which are guaranteed to be “prepared with love and care and delivered with a friendly smile.” Fring’s return was first teased back in January with a fake commercial that featured Giancarlo Esposito — who plays the sinister drug lord — promoting Los Pollos with an eerily upbeat greeting.
