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!

I have visited this location at least 3 times a week until Oct 19 was my last order and I will never return I ordered as usual always take out I pick up my order and leave but the orders are always missing the side order you place something I learned to check it before leaving the restaurant and that I coped with till the 19th I placed an order approximately 10:20 pm a churrasco steak rice and beans and a side order of fries all was there but when I got home only a 3 minute drive the food was obviously old and cold the fries were as hard as a rock and honestly I wouldn’t have feed that steak to a dog 😡 I threw it away lost my 16.00 dollars remained hungry as I had finished work at the time I ordered and the shameful thing is I always tip the worker that gives me my order and that night the look on their faces said it all as they knew the food is cold and old no doubt. Beware with this location of the service and make sure to check your order before you leave even for the freshness and warmth of the food.
