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!

    I work in the area and have been coming to this location for over a decade. The food is always great as is the service. I would especially like to commend Manager Suyen. She is always professional and seeks to appease even the most challenging customers. I've seen her deal with a belligerent customer yet maintain her composure and do everything reasonable to rectify the customer's issue. This is a very well run store.

    Went to try vieja ropa on tostones dish that's advertised on TV. Looked great on TV but meat was virtually tasteless, bland and very lacking in spices. I will not order it again as nd I won't recommend it to anyone.

    Pollo Tropical is suffering from a lack of identity crisis, from a personable Yellow Chicken Mascot and interior that echoed a Caribbean welcoming theme to Bland, Dull, and unwelcoming transformation. Growing up eating this South Florida Staple it’s saddening to dine in at a branch after many years and experience what I did today. Small portions, $20 USD Per person, No Sauce /condiments Island. Hope pollo survives
