About

Chicken RestaurantCuban Restaurant
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!

    Great location with good food and fast service. Even the manager came out to check on us to see if the food and the service was good very professional. Definitely recommend this location if you’re in the area.

    I made an online order via their app Pollo Tropical App tonight. Order No.: 40610603601887240 at this location, store no.: 10054. The person picking this order up for me went through the drive thru, and they said my order did not exist. I spoke with the manager inside of the store via speaker phone to resolve this issue, and had him show the manager my receipt for this order, proof of payment, order number, and ask the manager to make my order. The manager refused to make my order or issue me a refund. Thanks to using up the last of my money in my bank account for this order that was not fulfilled and not getting a refund, and I now don’t have any money to eat tonight which was supposed to be the first time that I have eaten anything today. Happy New Years and NEVER order from this restaurant via the Pollo Tropical App. You might not get your food and a refund while the female manager refuses to help. I’m filing a complaint with corporate because this is HIGHLY unacceptable.

    Overall it’s one of the worst ones i’ve been to, my food was given to me cold and when i go back they seem annoyed? They gave me back the same exact food i turned in just microwaved. I don’t mind waiting for fresh food, it’s what I pay for and ask for. Seems like they just want to take the easy way out. The food did not taste the same since it was SCORCHING now giving me burns inside my mouth. The cashier was nice however I will not be returning to this location after this horrible experience. I do not recommend coming here, there’s plenty of other options nearby!
