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 love eating at Pollo Tropical and especially at this location. My favorite cook is Alain because he cooks the chicken breasts that I order weekly to perfection. The best team leader is Jessica because she takes the time to take care of her customers by showing empathy and compassion. Kendry, a team member who works the line is very efficient and takes pride in making sure that each customer’s order is prepared to perfection. The entire team is wonderful and truly make me feel welcome and part of a family. The “Pollo Tropical” family.

    Great option for take out. Tasty moist flavorful chicken. It does seem like they prioritize drive through over pickup online orders which took a little longer

    Rapide, pas cher et délicieux… Nous avons pris le family meal à 21 dollars pour 4 personnes. Ça vaut le coup.

    Great food at great prices. Love the Yucca Bites filled with cheese and the Ropa Vieja Quesadilla. Customer service was great, and they honor Veterans. I totally recommend this place.
