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!

Opción siempre confiable y fresca para comida caribeña saludable. El pollo a la parrilla y la yuca son los favoritos de nuestro equipo. Gran servicio y ubicación conveniente en Doral.

It was really hot in here and the workers had bad attitudes. When I asked for sauce they gave me a dirty look and refused to give me any. They gave me half my order for here and the other half to go. The food was good but the service was horrendous. Do not come to this pollo tropical

Un lugar muy especial para degustar buena comida, con un ambiente familiar y un servicio excelente. Me gusta tanto que no me canso de ir, voy cinco veces por semana. Unas de las empleadas favorita es Liliana que me brinda atenciones de primera, aunque todos son muy buenos y profesionales. Los recomiendo 100%. 🕺💃🍷🥳🎆

The young woman at the counter was terrible. She tried to speak with a big bulge of food in her right cheek which in itself was terrible but she also talked very quickly and quietly.
I ordered the chicken cesar wrap, the cheesy plantains, and a strawberry lemonade.
The wrap was just ok. The lettuce crisp and dressing good- however the chicken was overcooked and dry. Also found a small bone in one of my bites.
The cheesy plantains was a new experience for me but all in all not bad but not great either.
The strawberry lemonade had really no flavor.
My friend ordered the chicken quesdilla and received the Ceasars instead.
Several people were in the drive through and it appeared most of them had to come back in to get something corrected on their order.
Lots of angry customers.
Wouldn't recommend.

One of your employees behaved inappropriately and disrespectfully toward my husband, right in front of me and our children.
She addressed him in a flirtatious manner, calling him “my love” in front of us.
The only reason I did not react at the moment was to avoid causing a scene in front of my children. However, this type of behavior is completely unacceptable and shows a lack of professionalism. 1/04/2026 around 5:30 pm
