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!
Many customers praised the friendly and attentive service, particularly highlighting staff members like Consuello and Paola for their exceptional care.

I wanted to feed my whole family but stay within my budget. The manager came out n made sure I got everything that I needed. She was wonderful, courteous, extremely knowledgeable n I was able to feed my whole family with no one left hungry. Kudos to her for helping me decide what I needed to keep everyone happy. Thank you.

Debería ser obligatorio el uso de tapabocas, los empleados hablan sobre la comida, esto es asqueroso. Tampoco usan gorros, por lo que cualquier plato puede salir con cabello. Dónde están los gerentes?

I ordered a Tropichop All the Way with brown rice. The rice was so hard I couldn't chew it. Ordered a 3 piece tostones with pork & only received 1. This is my first bad experience in the many years I've eaten Pollo Tropical. I was too tired

We utilized the drive-thru. The guy who took our order was very thorough. He didn't rush and ensured he got the order correctly. He told us to stay at the intercom and he would tell us when to pull up to to the window. We didn't wait long. After getting to the window, he took the payment. Then he gave us our food, which was hot and fresh. I couldn't ask for better service.

I ordered churrasco with yellow rice and everything on it. I received churrasco with white rice and beans. My husband received his order correct. We ordered tostones with ropa vieja. We received 4 tostones with only 1 tostone and a tiny portion of ropa vieja. The others were without meat. I got home, 40 minute drive, trusting my order which I always check. This time I obviously didn't.
I wish I would of taken pictures. Not a next time cause I will not be returning.
