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!

Went to this Pollo Tropical on my lunch break for a quick bite. While I was waiting for my food, the manager (I think her name was Ana) asked if I was being attended to. I told her yes and that I was just waiting on my order.
What really stood out to me was how attentive and genuine she was. You could tell she actually cared about the customers and wanted to make sure everyone was taken care of. My food came out fresh, hot, and faster than I expected. The restaurant was clean, and the staff seemed organized even during a busy lunch rush.

The ones that are franchises aren't what they used to be. The food isnt as good, prices too high for the meager portions, service spotty as you often don't get what you asked for here they give you what they feel like selling you. And many employees don't know Spanish so they sometimes wrongly interpret menu items which many are in Spanish. Pollo Tropical went down, stay away.
