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!

Finally a Pollo Tropical with excellent Salsa music at a gentle volume! Clean restaurant with perfectly prepared grilled chicken and sweet, tender platanos. Friendly and helpful staff.

Best Pollo Tropical location with attentive owner managing and patient, pleasant, customer service oriented staff. It is fast food, so nothing special with ambiance but it’s always clean and friendly staff. Drive through service is also great. Tonight we were asked in drive through if we’d prefer to wait for new hot fries rather than scoop the older ones ☺️(so unusual in drive thru especially where it’s easy to dump the old ones in the bag.) staff member brought them out to the car said hello to the kids and got the whole order and sauces correct. This is our go-to fast food joint in Boca. They have great family deals - We especially love the yellow rice & cilantro cream sauce!!

This is the best Pollo Tropical I have ever had. They cut the chicken for my half chicken, rice and beans, FRESH. Not like the one by my house. Asked for one of every sauce and some chimi churry and the gentleman didn't even hesitate. Thank you for a delicious dinner and for complimenting my suit!

What happened to their chicken soup?... I used to travel a few miles just to buy several bowls of their soup and also black beans. No other Pollo Tropical had such delicious one. The employees knew what I was coming for when they saw me arrive. They knew me as "The Soup Lady"... Today, they gave me a water that didn't smell like chicken soup, didn't taste like chicken soup (even though it had more pieces than usual). I added vegetable broth, I added hot sauce, but there was no way to improve it. What happened? Did they lose the recipe? Did they change cook?
