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.

Don't get me wrong. The food is good awesomely seasoned but God forbid they forget anything in your online order. Because if you have to call them, you have to go through an automated system. I ordered an original family mill and added in a Mac and cheese to it for $9. And did not get the Mac and cheese tried to call him back. But it goes to an automated system. Would you have to hassle with? And then you have to wait for them to text message. You they need a new system for orders. And they need to make sure they're checking their bags.

The first time I had Pollo tropical was on the island of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. It was one of my favorite “fast food” places to go. I like how it’s like real food done quickly rather than fast food.
The service is much quicker than it was on the island and the good thing is that it taste the same. My favorite thing to get is a large tropi-chop ball with white rice and pork and whatever veggies you want with black beans and it’s such a huge serving for such a great price. I always have enough leftover for another meal.
The servers behind the counter where super nice. My food was ready before I was done paying for my food, which was crazy. I was just overall very happy and I definitely will go back.
