This fast food chain launched a line of pressed Cuban sandwiches. Chicken is involved
You asked for it, you got it.
OK, so maybe you didn’t exactly outright ask for Pollo Tropical to start putting out pressed Cuban sandwiches, but they’re here.
The ubiquitous fast-food chain just made lockdown so much easier for us, Miami. Now when you get a hankering for Cubans, you can breathe your own car A/C at the drive-through.
There are five varieties, inspired by Pollo’s most popular menu items, including Original, Crispy Chicken, Grilled Chicken, El Clásico and a Pan con Lechón (Mojo Roast Pork). Prices start at $5.99.
The crispy chicken — mixed with the buttery bread, tart pickles, Swiss cheese, tender ham and appealingly mayo-mustard sauce — was our personal fave.
Hope Diaz, chief marketing officer of parent company Fiesta Restaurant Group, thinks this culinary addition is long overdue.
“We’re proud to be the ones to bring Cuban sandwiches, usually offered only at local restaurants and cafeterias, to a bigger stage,” she said in a release. “We’re celebrating this iconic sandwich in a huge way and know our fans will love this new line of sandwiches as much as we do.”
