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!

“I had an amazing experience at this Pollo Tropical, and I really want to highlight the incredible service from Fabiola. From the moment I walked in, she was genuinely friendly, attentive, and went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare these days to find someone who not only does their job well but truly cares about the customer’s experience. Fabiola made us feel welcomed, taken care of, and appreciated. Because of her, I’ll definitely be coming back to this location. She deserves all the recognition—excellent job, Fabiola!”

I had a great experience interacting with the staff everyone was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Special thanks to Fabulous Fabiola, who handled my food with care and brought such positive energy. Her charisma clearly lifted the whole team, and it’s easy to see why people enjoy working with her. Because of Fabiola, I’ll definitely be back.
The only small hiccup was that a few tables were messy, likely just left that way by previous guests. It made it a bit tricky to find a clean spot for me and my niece, but
everything else was spot-on.

All the Hispanics were missing, not that I am racist but the staff was unprofessional. Yelling over the food. Attitude sucks and the food wasn't the same as it used to be, it was awful and I guess they were rationing the portions. 2 customers was complaining as well. I usefully donon Fridays after work. I went today it was empty but there was still chaos because they got one of the customer order wrong He was not happy I ordered 2 trophytrops and they were awful the it consisted of brown rice which wasn't cooked properly not to mention it looked like they were putting white rice and realized it was the wrong rice so the scooped it out added the brown rice still showing some of the white rice in the container l, the vegetables was only a small amount of sweet corn some onions and red peppers. The meat was dry and stringy. The soup which was supposed to get chicken soup. Didn't taste like chicken soup. The last one was better. Needless to say I will not be going back there. This is the 3rd bad experience I've had since last month

Very hectic atmosphere they are always yelling at each other in order to communicate very chaotic when I got down to place my order because the line to go order was very very long. I just feel that they can do so much better than being clean in the inside as well as more efficient if they had better communication skillsall employees seemed a little bit on edge. They had a new girl in the window and it was taking so long I had to get down to actually place an order with an additional 20 minutes. It was a hot mess.
