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!

Wanted a chicken sandwich with cheese. Said no problem. Got a 1/4 of a chicken breast with a side of shredded cheese.. Wanted a chicken Ceasars salad. Got watered down dressing and a hand full of chicken. Ordered a choppy top and they forgot the sauce after asking atleast 3 time. Not a single item Ordered was correct or even worth the price. Every time I come here I remember why I don't. Sad because it used to be a quality establishment.

They were killing the drive through but at the expense of the inside diners. Four delivery drivers stood there for 20 minutes while we walked in, ordered and were then served. They just forgot about them. After I picked up, they all charged the counter then got served.
Food was great (quarter chicken dark)! Not cilantro dressing though ,😭

I’ve always gone there around 6-7, seems like there’s always a rush but the tall manager who always wears a black jacket is always yelling at the employees & doesn’t help. As a manager please do your job as one.

Yesterday I went in around 6pm and it was busy. Cant complain about the wait time, food was great tho. The only complain that i have is that there was a man I think he was the manager just standing there yelling at the workers.
