Welcome to Pollo Tropical® where passion meets freshness and the best grilled chicken you will ever taste.

Established in 1988...


Inspired by its Miami roots and a recipe for fresh 24-hour citrus-marinated chicken, Pollo Tropical® began offering guests across Florida a creative take on traditional Cuban dishes, as well as foods from other parts of Latin America, over 35 years ago.

Since then, Pollo Tropical® has been dedicated to preparing fresh, great-tasting foods in its kitchens every day – like its signature Fire-Grilled Chicken and Mojo Roast Pork, served with the fan-favorite black beans and rice, in platters and TropiChop® bowls.

At Pollo Tropical®, authentic preparation, fresh ingredients, and a creative twist on traditional flavors are the perfect recipe for delicious, craveable food. Come taste the passion!

Pollo Tropical® is committed to humane treatment of chickens.

Dirk Montgomery was appointed President and CEO in April 2023, as announced in the official Business Wire press release.
