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!

The food was good but I wasn't able to use my rewards acct & the drive thru girl didn't mention it either bc we said we were doing 2 orders. Wanted to earn my free Tropichop. Then she told me to scan the receipt for the points but that didn't work either. Need a better rewards system...

Got home. Wrong Order.
I have cold chicken instead of Ropa Vieja.
Sunday. I would love to be eating leftover Ropa Vieja, but alas, I Didn’t Get What I Ordered.
Tried to complain using phone but they just want to get me signed up for "rewards"

We're fans of Pollo Tropical in general, and this location has definitely improved in appearance since its remodel, but a MAJORITY of the time, we have found something to be missing from the order. If we dine in, it's easy to get that sorted out, but if you get takeout, you really need to check your order before you leave. They used to have a sauce bar that was a highlight of the experience, but now you ask for these little cups of sauce when you order. My latest order shows all the sauces we requested, but not a single one of them was put in the bag for pickup. What's worse, I didn't notice before leaving that my Tropichops Trio was actually only a duo, because they also left out the mojo pork. The food is great, and (when it is included) in decent portions, but the high mistake frequency (never in my favor of course) on packing the bags is the primary reason we don't drop by more often at this location.

Decepcionado en esta ocasión ya que he comido muchas veces en los restaurantes de Pollo Tropical y el sabor es delicioso excepto en esta ocasión, primero los vegetales con los que combinaron nuestro sandwich de pollo y nuestro ropa vieja con arroz y frijoles negros tenían sabor peculiar como de cloro o no se que; espero poder dearles el beneficio de la duda y revisen el sabor de lo que ofrecen a sus comensales ya que Pollo Tropical es una cadena de comida hasta donde se de calidad.

La comida estaba vieja ni el pan ni la yuca estaba Fresca. Mi mamá pidió unos tostones con ropa vieja, pues la ropa vieja fueron dos bocados. El plato que yo pedí el cual vengo comiendo hace 20 años allí me dijeron que no podía pedirlo así, no siquiera pagando extra. No tenían arroz blanco, pero a los minutos de habernos entregado la comida apareció el arroz blanco! Ni siquiera me dieron la opción de pagar. No les recomiendo esta locación, no vengan aquí.
