How to Order Pollo Tropical Catering

Everything you need to know to place, customize, and receive your catering order.

Step 1: Determine Guest Count & Package Choice

Most catering packages require a 10-guest minimum. For build-your-own stations like the TropiChop Bar, budget approximately 1 bowl base per guest along with extra sauces.

Step 2: Check Lead Time Requirements

  • Standard Orders (10-30 guests): Place order at least 24 hours in advance.
  • Large Events (50+ guests): Place order 48 to 72 hours in advance to guarantee kitchen prep slots.

Step 3: Choose Pickup or Local Delivery

In-store pickup is free at participating stores. Local delivery is available for orders meeting store minimums (typically $100+), subject to a nominal delivery fee.
