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!

It’s disappointing you pay for good food and quality. Just to be disappointed.
I ordered a chicken quesadilla wrap and it was soggy and moist and cold.
If anything a chicken quesadilla should be hot. Can you explain why a chicken quesadilla comes out soggy the wrap is pretty much falling apart and cheese is not melted. I was disgusted this is not okay. I would think that it’s the team members job to ensure the food that they are serving is done and presented with care.
