Pollo Tropical adds pineapple-packed menu items

April 21, 2014

Pollo Tropical has brought back its Tangy Pineapple Chicken Wrap and Tangy Pineapple Chicken Salad, first introduced last year for a limited time. It is also offering a new Tropical Citrus Shrimp starter, according to a company press release.

The Tangy Pineapple Chicken Wrap features pineapple grilled with olive oil, cumin and a hint of black pepper; citrus-marinated, flame-grilled chicken breast; Monterey Jack cheese; and chipotle mayo, all wrapped in a thin flatbread and finished on the Pollo Tropical grill press.

The Pollo Tropical Tangy Pineapple Salad features grilled pineapple atop a bed of romaine lettuce, sweet corn, roasted red peppers and citrus-marinated, flame-grilled chicken breast, served with Mango Poppy Seed Vinaigrette dressing.

"Our healthy new limited-time menu items offer guests several light, delicious new ways to enjoy our Caribbean-inspired cuisine this spring," said Pollo Tropical Director of Marketing Sandra Pascual. "They're only here for a limited time, so people need to get them while they last."

Tropical Citrus Shrimp is a ceviche-like dish, perfect as an appetizer, side or snack, that features citrus-marinated cooked shrimp, thinly sliced red onions, diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro and a touch of fresh jalapeno, Pascual said.

All three items will be offered at most Pollo Tropical locations in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.
