Local Owners and Operators
As the first Chick-fil-A Operator on the island, Chávez is passionate about inspiring the next generation of business leaders while building a culture of friendliness at her restaurant.
"I am very grateful for having the opportunity to open the first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Puerto Rico and to contribute to the island's economy," Chávez said. "There are so many ways we can show our Team Members, customers and the community how much we care and I look forward to sharing a welcoming environment that reflects what I've experienced in my journey from Team Member to Operator."

Impacting the local community
To celebrate the opening of the first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Puerto Rico, Chick-fil-A, Inc. will donate $200,000 to Banco de Alimentos Puerto Rico, directly supporting those most at risk of food insecurity and reinforcing the efforts of disaster relief.
Chavez's restaurant will participate in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table™ program, which helps restaurant owners fight hunger in their local communities. The initiative redirects excess restaurant food to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and charities in need. Chick-fil-A Filters will do its part to reduce food waste in your kitchen with a "cook less, more often" approach, reducing or eliminating the amount of food left unserved. When there is excess food, Chick-fil-A Los Filtros will donate it to a local community partner. Since 2012, the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program has donated more than 12 million meals to those in need in the United States and Canada.
Investing in restaurant team members
Chick-fil-A Franchise Operators are committed to recruiting, developing and retaining the best talent and providing a positive work environment for people of all ages and backgrounds. They also offer their Team Members: flexible work hours; leadership growth opportunities; competitive salaries and benefits; practical training and mentoring and the possibility of applying for scholarships to support their continuing educational training. Like all Chick-fil-A restaurants, the restaurant will be closed on Sundays to give Team Members a day off to spend time with the family.
Quality Ingredients - Delicious Food
Chick-fil-A restaurants focus on serving customers delicious food made with high-quality ingredients. Chick-fil-A restaurants serve chicken raised from the egg, without antibiotics. Chick-fil-A's chicken lives up to the utmost commitment by not allowing antibiotics of any kind. Many of the menu items are prepared by hand daily and fruits and vegetables are delivered fresh several times a week. More information on Chick-fil-A food and drink:
The famous Chick-fil-A® Original Chicken Sandwich is made with chicken breast fillet seasoned to perfection, freshly breaded, pressure-cooked in 100% refined peanut oil and served on a buttered toasted bun with two pickles. It is also available in multigrain bread.
Chick-fil-A® Nuggets are available breaded or grilled and are perfect paired with one of seven delicious Chick-fil-A sauces.
Waffle™ Fries are made with real potatoes.
Chick-fil-A ® Lemonade is made with three simple ingredients: pure lemon juice, sugar and water.
At its Puerto Rico restaurants, Chick-fil-A will serve 100% locally grown and roasted coffee in Puerto Rico. At the restaurant, Chick-fil-A Team Members are trained barista-style to hand-brew four coffee offerings: Latte, Cortado, Americano, and Espresso. Get more information about our coffee here.
Bringing customers together
In the center of the Chick-fil-A Los Filtros dining room, customers can enjoy their meal at a communal table, known as Our Table, handcrafted by someone who has claimed their life. Just like our clients, each table has a story. This table was made and designed by Erick Colón Maldonado of EC Interiors, an artist from Naranjito who turned the challenges of Hurricane Maria and the pandemic into an opportunity to create his own company. Chick-fil-A's design team worked with Erick to develop Nuestra Mesa that represents the resiliency and beauty of Puerto Rico and its people.
Servi-Car Experience
Chick-fil-A Restaurant Team Members will personally greet customers in the drive-thru line and take each customer's order on a tablet. As the order taker walks the line, another Team Member from the restaurant will approach the customer's vehicle to collect, allowing carts to move faster than a traditional drive-thru with loudspeaker horns. To ensure restaurant Team Members who work the drive-thru line feel comfortable in any weather, Chick-fil-A has partnered with clothing brands that design military-spec cooling vests and moisture-wicking uniforms.
