About

Chicken RestaurantCuban Restaurant
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!

    Went with family, store was clean, we did go around closing, parents got chicken quarters and my brother and I got bowls, only complaint was the chicken quarters were skimpy, barely any meat on the bones.

    My husband cousin has talked about this place non stop but we’ve always been hesitant for some odd reason. His cousin suggested the half chicken with black beans and white rice.. 🔥 Good stuff and really refreshing! We highly recommend!

    Ordered online and was missing multiple items when I got home, not to mention the very dry chicken I received. Called to get a refund for the missing items and could only get a hold of a 3rd party company that just gave me the run around until I quit trying. Never eating here again, and neither should you!
