MIAMI, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pollo
Tropical® is announcing new menu items for those who want a
delicious way to eat well this new year.
Back by popular demand, Pollo Tropical is once again offering
their Vegan Picadillo in a Tropichop® and Wrap. The Vegan Picadillo
is made with Beyond Beef®, a 100% plant-based ground meat made by
Beyond Meat®, peppers and onions in a tomato-based sauce. Guests
can now create their own Tropichop® by choosing a base like white
rice, brown rice, or lettuce, then topping it off with Vegan
Picadillo and your choice of toppings. For those craving a wrap,
the Vegan Picadillo Wrap has the same delicious Vegan Picadillo,
with your choice of white or brown rice, plus Pollo's famous black
beans and sweet plantains, all in a tortilla.
Pollo's new Balsamic Tomato Chicken combines the fan-favorite
balsamic tomatoes and the brand's signature citrus-marinated
grilled chicken breast and is only 180 calories. Pair it with your
choice of any regular side for a perfect way to eat right while
enjoying your favorites for just $4.99.
The new menu items join the brand's recently-introduced line of
Cuban Pressed Sandwiches – including the Original Cuban,
the Crispy Chicken Cuban, the Grilled Chicken
Cuban, El Clásico and a Pan con Lechón (Mojo Roast
Pork). All items are now available in restaurants and online for
curbside, in-store pick-up and delivery through the new MyPollo®
app.
