Most Pollo Tropical restaurants open at 10 or 10:30 AM and close at midnight every day. Sixteen Miami-Dade stores stay open until 1 AM, and none list 24-hour service. There is no breakfast menu, and we found no published holiday hours, so call your store before Thanksgiving or Christmas.

How we checked Pollo Tropical's hours
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 Hours: When It Opens and Closes FAQ
What time does Pollo Tropical open and close?
It depends on the restaurant. The brand FAQ says most restaurants are open 10:30 AM to 12:00 AM. On the 122 Florida store pages checked on October 31, 2026, 98 listed 10 or 10:30 AM to midnight every day, 16 (all in the Miami area) listed 10 AM to 1 AM, and 8 had other schedules, such as a 10 PM close at one store and an 11 PM close at another. No store page listed 24-hour service. Each store page shows its own hours. (Source: locations.pollotropical.com)
Is Pollo Tropical open on Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays?
Pollo Tropical does not publish holiday hours, and its store pages show only a regular weekly schedule. None of the 2025 Thanksgiving and Christmas open and closed lists checked (TODAY, Fox 13 Tampa, Local10 and NBC Miami) mention the chain, so its holiday status could not be confirmed. The brand FAQ says times may vary by restaurant, so call the store or check the store locator or app before going. (Source: pollotropical.com)
