Pollo Tropical is expanding its presence in Texas with the opening of its fifth Houston location at 25635 US Highway 59N, according to a company press release. Since making its Texas debut in Addison last March, the fast casual concept has launched more than 15 restaurants statewide, deepening its roots in the home state of its Addison-based parent company, Fiesta Restaurant Group Inc., and its San Antonio-based sister brand, Taco Cabana. The new restaurant will open May 8, next to Taco Cabana's newest location.

A grand opening celebration is from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., May 8, and will include calypso music, prizes, and a robo-surfer challenge, where contestants compete for first- and second-place prizes of $500 and $300 to go to their favorite charities. One guest will win free chicken for a year, and the first 100 guests will receive a coupon for a free Create Your Own Family Meal, redeemable on a future visit.

"We are always looking for opportunities meet our neighbors, and our grand opening celebrations are a great way to connect with them," said Pollo Tropical Chief Operating Officer Danny Meisenheimer. "Our guests can get a real taste of the tropics everyday at Pollo Tropical, and we hope to see many new friends at the grand opening celebration on May 8."
