Single side portions such as sweet plantains (290 kcal) or Cuban cortadito coffee (90 kcal) have low total calories. For an entree, a small TropiChop with a romaine lettuce base and citrus grilled chicken provides high protein with low carbohydrates.

Allergen & Cross-Contamination Notice

While Pollo Tropical provides allergen statements for ingredients used in menu recipes, normal kitchen operations involve shared cooking and preparation areas. Cross-contact between ingredients (such as wheat, soy, milk, eggs, or shellfish) can occur. Guests with severe allergies are advised to exercise caution.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nutrition

Pollo Tropical's signature citrus-marinated grilled chicken is prepared without gluten ingredients. However, items like sandwiches, wraps, crispy chicken, and rolls contain wheat gluten. Cross-contact can occur in shared kitchen spaces.
