About

Chicken RestaurantCuban Restaurant
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've always had great customer service here, but tonight was a letdown. The drive-thru lady seemed unsure of herself. As a regular customer, I was surprised when the girl with long black hair was unhelpful, claiming they were out of food. I managed to get the last crispy chicken over rice and asked for sauce, which she gave me reluctantly. In my experience, the young guy who usually works here is way more helpful.

    I did an online order directly through this Pollo Tropical store and they did not give me one of the kids meals I ordered, no plantains, no yucca, and absolutely ZERO sauce for any of my food. This was about $15 of food I did not receive. (Order #927524). On top of that, there is no actual # to call. The number listed on the website and the order receipt is an automated number where you get directed to download their app and register to their loyalty program. But no actual person to talk to about the missing food. Absolutely horrible service and dry food with no sauce. UPDATE: I already reached out Pollo Tropical's customer service before this generic response below. Just so everyone is warned, YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR MONEY BACK if there is an issue with your order. Instead, Pollo Tropical will credit the money to you in their rewards program so you have to go to the store again and purchase food. Which, seeing as I do not typically live near one of their stores, is double insult to injury.

    sometimes you go into a pollo tropical restaurant and you get very good customer service and another time go on a different day and you get very bad service

    Portions are inconsistent, order a large deluxe, get one cup of chicken and someone else orders a small regular chop chop and gets two cups. Also, always out of something. Today Piita but they still charge full price and don't offer substitute.

    Ordered online through your website directly. Both of my drinks were forgotten and when I called, I was told I could only receive a refund by joining your loyalty program which is ridiculous. Why would I want to be loyal to a franchise that can’t get basic food delivery correct? Horrible service!!
