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!

No tengo suerte con el pollo de ahí, sino está crudo dentro está quemado,sin hablar del pésimo servicio al cliente. Uno llega a ese lugar y ellas te tratan como si les estuvieran molestando y si les dicen algo que no les halla gustado de la comida pues miran con mala cara ,,hasta las que visten el uniforme rojo y negro q deben ser manager
