Fiesta Restaurant Group Inc. has sold its remaining shares of Taco Cabana to YTC Enterprises LLC, an affiliate of Yadav Enterprises Inc., for $85 million, according to a company press release.

Fiesta, which owns Pollo Tropical, used the funds to pay off about $74.6 million in debt as well as to pay certain divestiture transaction fees and a $4.2 prepayment loan. Fiesta will also use a portion of the money to help accelerate Pollo Tropical's growth.

Yadav Enterprises, which is the largest Jack in the Box and TGI Friday's franchisee, also owns several Denny's locations.
