Pollo Tropical opens 100th company-owned location

August 12, 2013

Pollo Tropical, a Miami-based fast casual restaurant chain, has opened its 100th company-owned location in Atlanta, and is set on a path of expansion in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas, said Tim Taft, CEO of Fiesta Restaurant Group Inc., the parent company of Pollo Tropical.

"As we open our 100th company-owned location, the further expansion of the Pollo Tropical brand is just as much about making its unique concept more accessible in new markets as it is about making it more convenient in existing markets," he said.

Pollo Tropical opened its first restaurant in Miami, appealing to the varied cultures of the South Florida community. The brand has evolved and broadened its offerings from its signature marinated flame-grilled chicken to include grilled shrimp and ribs, roast pork, fresh side dishes, and handheld wraps and sandwiches.

"The success of Pollo Tropical is attributable to its unique menu variety, passionate operating culture and an unparalleled price value that is regarded as the benchmark among today's fast-casual restaurant concepts," Pollo Tropical COO Danny Meisenheimer said in the announcement.
