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 got there Saturday around 4:15 430 for a takeout and as I received my order I opened my order and it replied this is not the correct order so I said out loud oh wow this is not my order so I was approached by individual. I believe her name is Amanda l I think it was her name black hair pulled up braided. She was very aggressive. I opened the order and I said very calmly oh wow, this is not my order right away. She approached ( and she replied well have you looked at your ticket because if you see your ticket, then you know your number! I just froze. I didn’t know what to reply. I’m 66 years old and I don’t see well in that day. I forgot my glasses. I felt so embarrassed the way she replied to me. The coworkers looked at me and customers looked at me. I just couldn’t believe she was answering me the way she did so unprofessional I live in the area so I often visit Pollo tropical but this one in eighth Street I will never go again…..

La atención muy buena, las muchachas muy amables y educadas. La comida: el pollo súper pequeño, las presas parecían de paloma. En las mesas habían varios homeless pidiendo dinero a los que estábamos consumiendo, esto da una muy mala experiencia, primer pollo tropical de la ciudad que me pasa algo así.
