About

Chicken RestaurantCuban Restaurant
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!

    Customer service is horrible and the young man taking the order sounded like he was tweaking. I don’t understand the hostility to customers. Where that no Customer means you have no job. This establishment has no revenue. Clearly not because Management would do a better job at explaining how this cycle works completely unimpressed. Before their corporate takeover, Pollo was not like this at all.

    WOULD GIVE 0 IF I COULD. HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT!!!! So I order the same exact thing for me and my bf every time we eat here. So you would expect every single time it’s the same total. Today I was surprised to find out my order is now almost $10 dollars more than what it usually is. I asked for a receipt upon receiving my food because I was in such shock. After overlooking I realized the manager taking our order, tried to charge me not once but TWICE for an individual order of corn when all I asked for was extra corn on ONE tropichop . I came inside in confusion attempting to correct the situation and showing him that he charged me twice for corn I never received. He claims because I asked for extra corn that he is required to charge me. But he charged me TWICE so when I ask him why he charged me twice when I only asked for extra corn on ONE tropichop, he replied very rudely and his exact words were “no you didn’t you said you wanted extra corn on both” with a horrible attitude. Literally like a 5 year old arguing they are right. This situation honestly wasn’t even that serious I would’ve never made it as big of a problem or be writing this review, but the blatant disrespect from the immature manager and unwillingness to make a situation that he messed up on right or even just admit admitting he messed up, it all made me want nothing to do with this place. I will NEVER make the mistake of coming to this location again. And if you’re supposed to charge for extra toppings on a tropichop(which I never have been charged in the past), why can’t it be rung up as extra? Why was I charged for an individual serving? I feel four dollars is a bit much for an extra scoop of some corn geez . All that to say I went to chipotle instead and got 2 bowls AND a side AND extra steak for cheaper than what these people tried to charge me. Anyways here’s my receipt of my refund. The receipt says a woman’s name for the employee, but I’m pretty sure it was the same manager talking to me inside that took our order. She is not at fault, the manager is.

    On December 18th at approximately 11:15 after leaving class, I decided to try the Pollo Tropical at this particular location. After giving my order I was advised that they no longer had chicken. Not that they no longer had bone in chicken but just that they no longer had chicken. I then proceeded to ask would there be a discount for not having any chicken at all. The cashier hesitated, and shortly after someone who I’m assuming is supposed to be the manager then got on the intercom. No I was not expecting a discount for there not being any chicken but they way the both of this cashiers handled the situation was very distasteful and definitely not the faces I would want greeting my customers. I strongly suggested retraining or corrective consultation on their customer service experience. Remember it’s not what you say, it’s how you say things. Pollo off of Atlantic, do better!! Very embarrassing
