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!

today, January 4, 2026 I ordered a quarter chicken with rice, beans, and plantains for my two-year-old daughter, and it turns out the chicken is completely undercooked. Terrible food. And I have a picture of what the chicken looked like it was cooked.

Always a tasty meal that is a good value. Even if you order ahead it will probably take a bit because the employees are very busy multi tasking which is fine. They should implement a shelf for to go orders though just to make it easier on them otherwise all employees here are nice and quick
I recommend the Tropichop with grilled chicken or
Pollo & pork duo
1/2 chicken platter
Sweet plantains
Fried yucca bites
Don’t forget to get cilantro garlic sauce it’s the best part of the meal!

A decir verdad no tengo quejas en cuanto al sabor de la comida pero si que realmente muy mal servicio, hice un pedido y cuando lo recogi que llegue a casa me faltaban cosas como una racion de platanos maduros, la salsa BBQ, la recion individual de cheese yuca bites, entre otros, lo cual me parece muy mal pq es algo por lo que se pagó.

This location 8/10 doesn’t cook the chicken all the way through. I order through the drive thru and when I get home the chicken is bloody and have to cook the chicken at home. Please make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly.
