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!

Primero que todo quiero decir que este pollo tropical es diferente a todos los que e ido porque desde el principio te atienden muy bien el joven de la caja que nos atendió de nombre yonser fue muy amable muy atento nos dió opciones para elegir y nos explicó muy bien el menú y supimos de nuevos platos que no sabía que existían la comida llegó a tiempo y el la temperatura adecuada la manager de nombre Sherly se acercó a las mesas para ver si todo está a bien cosa que frecuentemente no pasa en pollo tropical vendría mil veces más por su servicio y atención, y lo más importante el sitio estaba muy limpio.

Very disappointed! Place an online order and had to wait over 20 minutes when I got there. I went through the drive-through and a told me to come back. I came back the second time and then he told me to pull forward as they didn’t want their timer to keep waiting at the window. All in all it took me about 35 minutes to get an online order that said it would be ready in 10 minutes.

Cada vez que voy a Florida no puede faltar una parada en Pollo Tropical. Me encanta porque donde vivo no hay y siempre lo disfruto como un pequeño gusto especial. El pollo es sabroso, las salsas deliciosas( en especial la de cilantro que me recomendó la señora muy amable que allí trabaja )me trae ese sabor caribeño que tanto extraño.
