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!

This is hands down my favorite Pollo Tropical location! The food is always fresh and flavorful, especially the bowls they’re so good and always made perfectly. I seriously wish they would make the coconut shrimp a permanent staple on the menu because it’s that good. Also, Brendan is top-tier! He’s always super helpful and makes every visit a great experience. I’ll definitely keep coming back!

This pollo tropical will always be my favorite. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted great, and the service was even better. Arianna (one of the employees) really stood out because she was incredibly quick, efficient, and professional while still being friendly. She kept everything moving smoothly and made the whole experience stress-free. Employees like her make a big difference, and I’ll definitely be returning AGAIN.
