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!

I'm a marketer and had a last minute lunch, Diana the manager came through and got me a Tropi Chop Party Bundle in 10 minutes! And she did it all with a smile. Thank you, you saved me!!

Terrible customer service.
The food is usually good, but the customer service is terrible. I paid for my order and waited for 20 minutes, but it was never served. When I went to complain, the employees had very bad attitudes and were rude. In the end, they served my order as if they didn’t care and practically threw it at me.
This is extremely disrespectful, Pollo Tropical, and very unprofessional. What surprised me the most was that I had to complain to the manager, and the manager also had a very poor attitude. The staff clearly needs much better training.

My experience in Pollo tropical was great because of Ashfida, she was visually the only person I saw taking orders and serving food. You company need more people like her. Only reason I would return to this location. Thank you Ashfida!!!

Pollo Tropical never disappoints, but this location truly stands out because of the amazing management. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly, but what really made the experience exceptional was the manager, Maldonado. He was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about customer satisfaction. You can tell he runs a great team and takes pride in his work. Thanks to her, the atmosphere was welcoming and everything ran smoothly. I’ll definitely be coming back!
