Loaded Plantain Chip Nachos

Pollo Tropical's New Topped Tostones Feature Crunchy Plantain Chips

If you're looking for something a little more exciting than your average plate of nachos, them you might want to try Pollo Tropical's new Topped Tostones.

Tostones are essentially twice-fried plantains, which have a crunchy texture and a subtle sweetness. Pollo Tropical's new Topped Tostones take these plantain chips and top them with your choice of chicken and queso, Mojo Roast Pork, vegan Beyond Meat, or Grilled Shrimp smothered in the chain's Shrimp Creole sauce. The vegan version is especially intriguing, and comes with Vegan Beyond Meat Picadillo, sautéed peppers, and onions. For those who enjoy the shrimp option, Shrimp Creole is also available on a TropiChop or in a loaded platter with your choice of sides.

The new Topped Tostones are available now for a limited time.
