The full Pollo Tropical menu

Our Pollo Tropicalguide

Pollo Tropical is a Miami-based chain serving citrus-marinated grilled chicken with Caribbean-style sides like rice and beans, yuca and sweet plantains. Its 122 restaurants are all in Florida. The menu centers on chicken platters and TropiChop® bowls, and it now has a High Protein Menu that lists grams of protein right in the item names.

Platters, bowls and protein cups

Most meals come one of three ways. Platters pair a quarter chicken, half chicken, pork, steak or boneless chicken with rice and beans or other sides. TropiChop® bowls come Classic or All The Way, with chicken, pork, steak or vegetarian options. The High Protein Menu adds protein cups, from the Small Protein Cup (32g of protein) to the Extra Large Protein Cup (100g). Sides like Fried Yuca, Sweet Plantains and Cheesy Plantain Bites round things out.

Best-value meals

Prices here come from the DoorDash menu of the Miami store at 1277 Southwest 8th Street, checked October 31, 2026. The cheapest full meals cost $9.99: the 1/4 Chicken Platter - Rice & Beans and several Classic TropiChop® bowls, including Crispy Chicken, Pork, Boneless Chicken and Vegetarian. Going All The Way usually adds $0.70. For a smaller bite, the Small Protein Cup is $4.99. Delivery-app prices usually run higher than ordering in the restaurant.

Pollo Tropical Family Meals and whole chicken

At the Miami store, Family Meals run from $11.89 for Family Pork à la Carte to $36.89 for the Family Meal Duo. The Whole Chicken With 4 Rolls is $19.19 and the Original Family Meal is $26.29. The homepage showed an original family meal at $20.99 in October 2026, and a rewards page says members get one for $15 every Monday, so check the app for terms. Catering is ordered at catering.pollotropical.com or by calling 1-866-769-7696, extension 2.

Rewards and recurring offers

MyPollo® Rewards runs through the app and pollotropical.com/rewards for members 13 or older. You get 50 Pollo Points for joining, a free TropiChop® bowl after a first purchase of $15 or more, 1 point per $1 and a $5 reward for every 75 points.

Hours

Typical hours
Most restaurants open at 10 or 10:30 AM and close at midnight daily; some Miami-area restaurants close at 1 AM (varies by location)
How we checked

Based on the Store Hours on all 122 Florida store pages in the official locator on October 31, 2026. 98 list the same hours every day: 69 at 10:30 AM to midnight and 29 at 10 AM to midnight. 16 list 10 AM to 1 AM daily; all 16 are in Miami-Dade County (Miami, Miami Beach, Miami Springs, Hialeah, Homestead and Florida City). The other 8 differ: Cooper City closes at 10 PM daily, Oviedo at 11 PM daily, Coral Springs closes at 11:45 PM on Saturdays, and five stores list a one-day variation, including a 7 AM Wednesday opening at two stores (Fort Myers and Orlando) and a 6 AM Thursday opening at one Miami store, which may be special schedules rather than regular hours. The brand FAQ (page last modified June 2026) says most restaurants are open 10:30 AM to 12:00 AM and that times may vary. No store page lists 24-hour service, store pages do not split dining room and drive-thru hours, and the menu has no breakfast section, so we list no breakfast hours.

Pollo Tropical menu FAQ

Does Pollo Tropical have a rewards program or app?

Yes. MyPollo® Rewards runs through the Pollo Tropical app (iOS and Android) and pollotropical.com/rewards. The rewards page lists 50 Pollo Points on joining, a free TropiChop® bowl after a first purchase of $15 or more, 1 point per $1 spent and a $5 reward for every 75 points, plus referral rewards. The terms add a free birthday item and say Points Rewards expire 365 days after they are received, while all Rewards expire 90 days after issuance unless otherwise specified. Rewards work at participating locations only.

Does Pollo Tropical offer catering?

Yes. Catering is ordered at catering.pollotropical.com or by calling 1-866-769-7696, extension 2, and every store page has an Order Catering button. The regular menu lists Party Bundles of meats, sides and sauces serving up to 10 guests. Package contents, prices and notice requirements are not published on the brand pages that were readable.

Does Pollo Tropical have family meals?

Yes. The ordering menu has a Family Meals section described as a meal fit for the whole family. The homepage showed an original family meal at $20.99 in October 2026, and a MyPollo Rewards landing page says members get an original family meal for $15 every Monday; neither gives terms. The February 2026 nutrition chart names two family meals, Chicken and Rolls (with a choice of family sides) and Family Duo Whole Chicken, plus family-size sides and add-on meats. The site does not list what the original family meal includes.

Does Pollo Tropical deliver or have a drive-thru?

All 122 store pages list Delivery and In-Store Pickup, while the brand FAQ says delivery is offered in select markets, so check the store locator for your restaurant. Delivery partners are not named on the site. The company described the brand as featuring drive-thru service in October 2023, but store pages do not say which restaurants have a drive-thru.

Who owns Pollo Tropical?

Authentic Restaurant Brands (ARB), formed in 2021 as a Garnett Station Partners portfolio company, owns Pollo Tropical. ARB completed its purchase of Pollo Tropical's parent company, Fiesta Restaurant Group, on October 30, 2023, paying $8.50 per share in cash, and Fiesta became a private company. ARB's website (published January 27, 2026) lists Pollo Tropical among its five brands. In September 2026, NRN and Restaurant Dive reported a $325 million investment package for ARB from London-based Trimontium; neither article says control of ARB changed.

How many Pollo Tropical restaurants are there, and where?

The official locator listed 122 restaurants on October 30-31, 2026, all in Florida (24 of them in the city of Miami). ARB gave the same count in January 2026, and NRN reported it in September 2026 with more than $327 million in 2025 sales per Technomic. FSR reported 125 units in April 2025, and 134 company-owned restaurants were reported when the acquisition was announced in August 2023. The brand does not franchise in the continental US apart from licensed sites such as college campuses and one hospital; it licenses restaurants in Puerto Rico, Freeport (Bahamas), Panama, Guyana and Ecuador.
