All metro Atlanta Pollo Tropical locations have closed, the restaurant’s parent company announced.

Fiesta Restaurant Group, which owns the Florida-based fast-casual chain, said Dec. 21 that it would close all nine locations in the Atlanta area. They closed the same day as the announcement, according to a press release.

Pollo Tropical previously closed one Marietta location in 2016 and locations in Cumming, Johns Creek and Alpharetta in 2017.

The company no longer has any restaurants in Georgia.
