Pollo Tropical closes 30 locations; 2 in N. Fulton

Caribbean cuisine will be a bit harder to find in north Fulton County.

Pollo Tropical — a Florida-based restaurant chain with a menu highlighted by spicy chicken, calypso beef and tostones — closed 30 of its restaurants on Monday, including three in the metro Atlanta area.

Glen Orr, a spokesperson for Pollo Tropical, did not say how many jobs would be affected by the closing of these three locations, but a release from Fiesta Restaurant Group said, "Where possible, employees impacted by restaurant closures will be offered positions at nearby restaurants."
