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!

RAW CHICKEN!! I came here late night on Dec 22, 2025 and ordered a grilled chicken tropichop. I never received a receipt. I got home and started to eat when I realized the chicken tasted unusual. I started inspecting it and realized it was RAWWWW!!! What makes this even worse, I called customer support, not wanting anything free or any compensation but my money back for their store serving me raw meat that can cause serious health issues. The customer rep advice for me to reach out to corporate via email which I did. Corporate distasteful response was that they are sorry I received uncooked chicken, but they are unable to help me without a receipt. I included a bank transaction including the store number, purchase date, and amount, but still could not receive any help!!
