Inspired by its Miami roots and a recipe for fresh 24-hour citrus marinated chicken, Pollo Tropical began offering guests across Florida a creative take on traditional Cuban dishes, as well as foods from other parts of Latin America, over 35 years ago.
Since then, Pollo Tropical has been dedicated to preparing fresh, great tasting foods in their kitchens every day – like their signature Grilled Chicken and Mojo Roast Pork, served with the fan-favorite black beans and rice, in platters and TropiChop bowls.
At Pollo Tropical, authentic preparation, fresh ingredients, and a creative twist on traditional flavors is the perfect recipe for delicious craveable food. Come taste the passion!
Customers generally praised the food for its flavor and freshness, particularly the grilled chicken and Tropichop bowls, though there were complaints about overcooked or dry chicken and mushy rice.

Mala atención. Pides comida y te sirven poco. Ya han sido varias veces que pido carne y solo me dan 2 pedazos pequeños. No recomiendo este sitio y el personal grosero!

If you are so cheap keeping everything behind the counter and bathroom soap so cheap it doesn’t even clean your hands I can only imagine what food you serve instead of throwing it away

The chicken was very tasty and the the serving were plentiful the ONLY thing I don't like is this question that they asks as if it sounds better... and Chipotle does the same thing: What is the other "PROTIEN" you would like.... just ask me would you like the additional Chicken or Pork Chops! Come on just because Chipotle is trying to sound intelligent with the same dumb question don't do a Monkey see Monkey do!

Food is good for "fast food" but this is the 3rd time that the drive-thru has left out my sauce for the Tropi Chop bowl. This evening, I asked for extra and again it was left out. Yes, I should have checked but was in a hurry. Get home...there is NO sauce at all. It's on the receipt and there's a section in all CAPS - "SAUCE SUMMARY" - 3 Pineapple Rum. How can you miss this?! I call and get an automated response to download the app. Small problems, I know, but frustrating.
