    Was made to wait up front just for my order to be completely wrong! Even after saying oh well and attempting to eat it, it was soggy! Disgusting! Don’t go here.

    Just went thru the drive thru and I placed an order for a 1/4 chicken dark with black beans and rice. Instead I got a Dried out piece of white meat that was so dry it was literally a choking hazard. Lesson # 1 Always check your food before you drive away. Lesson # 2 Make sure that the cashier gives you a receipt. If you don’t follow steps #1 and # 2 you’ll end up pissed off like I am, as I write review. I called customer service to complain and for a future replacement meal.. Instead, I got a women who said I needed to have my receipt. Well the cashier did not give a receipt. And I almost drove off without my drink because he forgot to give it to me. And No utensils. And No sauce. He asked if I wanted any sauce when placing my order. And I said yes, garlic cilantro. What kind brain people are you hiring Pollo tropical needs to better train their employees so this kinda stuff doesn’t happen. And I won’t be wasting my time writing this one star review. To the Pollo Tropical customer service, you may want to rethink your policy before telling your customers that spend money in this establishment that you can’t help them. Maybe, you should call the store yourself for the receipt. It’s his screw up not mine.

    Estuvimos hoy en la tarde, el cajero fué muy atento y servicial, espera moderada. Pedimos pollo con papas y tostones, el pollo le faltaba cocción, muy aceitoso y un poco crudo en el interior. Limpio . Si pudiera calificar solo al cajero le daría 10.

    The chicken looks like it was caught off the street and cooked in the back. They have cup discrimination on drink refills. Avoid at all cost.

    It was the worst Pollo Tropical I’ve ever been to. I had ordered online in advance and it still took over 30 minutes to prepare. I ordered a salad and rice, but they gave me a bowl instead — even the container was different. The portion was half the size of what I’ve had at other locations. And unfortunately, no one in this store speaks English, so you can’t even properly explain what you want. Overall, a very bad experience.
