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!

My staple dish white rice with beans and a large side of plantains half chicken with garlic cilantro sauce. I peel off the skin because lately I got an allergy. They must have added another ingredient to the seasoning.

I am so bummed to say this, because honestly I love this chain. However, I came to this location at 10pm, ordered some food, and then when I asked for sauce, I was told they had none. Let's be real, we go to pollo for the spicy pollo sauce. Okay, maybe they were out, it happen, however, they said they had no sauces available and offered me the saddest little hot sauce packets. I'm really bummed out because I love this chain so much, it's one of the only things I look forward to when I come to visit Florida.
For what it's worth, I was here on the night of November 10th around 10pm and it was a young lady with braces who served me. She was nice, but the fact that there was supposedly "no sauces" available really bummed me out. I guess I'll have to find somewhere else for my late night snacking 😔
Maybe it's time for a

My friends and I ordered two chicken wraps and they were given cold. We had to send back the food and the employee gave us an attitude.

It seems like half the time I buy through the drive thru I do not get all the items I pay for. There is always one or more items that I pay for that are missing. Today the missed two items from my order, the cilantro salad that’s over $10 and the yuca bites.
It’s not like I am going to drive back to the restaurant just to collect the missing food. But this location needs to do better, we all make mistakes, but better care needs to be taken to make sure the order is complete before giving it to the customer.
I do not want to holdup the line to unpack the bags just to ensure I got what I paid for. It would be nice if people ensure the food paid for is verified before packing them into the bags.
Also Pollo tropical is nothing without the sauces, the curry mustard sauces runs out all the time. Maybe increase the inventory on the sauces that run out.
I do have to say, the food I received was amazing, arguably the best I have eaten @ Pollo in over 20 years.
Thank you
