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!

The soup was cold—don’t waste your time or money. The food was cold, overpriced, and very poor quality. Customer service was also disappointing. Pollo Tropical used to offer good food that was worth the price, but that’s no longer the case.

I live 2min away from this location and I go to another one that’s further, just because the employees don’t speak English,/understand it very poorly they never get my order right.and I as for the same exact thing every time I went there.Then they give you attitude for their employees messing up. Oh yeah they usually run out of steak around 6. Don’t recommend this location at all .

This is the 3rd time ordering from this location using Uber eat. People that work there are so incompetent, they are always missing an item of the order or sending the wrong item, they got it wrong all three times, something as simple as following instructions...avoid this location at all cost. You have been warned ⚠️

I just grab a churrasco thing with black beans and rice… but it was like a salad full of green peppers, corn, onions and tomatoes… churrasco was brilliant because it was no churrasco on it…
Sad that everything in Miami is becoming decadent…. Maybe the server was hungry and eat the churrasco that was supposed to be in my plate…
Like a scam…🤢🤢🤢
