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!

Parece que se les olvidaron los pimientos y las cebollas como lo anuncian en la app, y la cantidad practicamente la mitad de lo que publican y ni hablar de los tostones que pobre del que se atreva a comerselos porque despues seguro le espera una visita al dentista... 🤔It seems they forgot the peppers and onions as advertised in the app, and the quantity is practically half of what they advertise, not to mention the plantain chips—woe betide anyone who dares to eat them because they'll surely be in for a trip to the dentist afterwards.

I was surprised to encounter only spanish speaking employees...I'm born and raised in Miami so the culture has changed quite a bit. Anyways I ordered my food and it was good. Although $24 for all that I got was kinda high. I wanted Chipotle, which would have been cheaper, but I did do a side of plantains
