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 location The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked and you can really taste the difference in quality. It’s refreshing to see a place where great food and great service come together so naturally. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this location to friends and family.

Ordered, Churrasco, they had no chimichurri sauce when they found it, it was frozen 😐 no excuses a churrasco with no chimichurri is no longer a churrasco, tables were dirty and the young lady serving tried to resolve by saying sorry. Disappointed I usually have had a good experience at pollo tropical. Not this time!! Get busy people you are loosing business.

Sat in the drive through for 25+ mins. All for them to tell me they don’t have enough chicken for a meal. Girl in drive through is so rude. I felt so rushed I couldn’t even finish ordering what I needed. I'll take my business elsewhere. And she can’t multitask. Can only take 1 car at a time. This location needs new management or something. How do you run out of chicken? THEN not even say anything about it till I start to order. Then say oh we can’t make that cause we don’t have enough chicken. That should be the 1st thing she is telling people. Not to mention the food I did get was awful. Waste of $35.

I have never in my life been to any public venue more disrespectful than this place and it is consistent. They never miss a beat to make sure you know that they are very much ignoring and could not care less to give you the simple respect of greeting you for coming in. As a doordasher do not expect to be treated with any kind of customer service or respect or courtesy. These women are so disrespectful every single time that I come here that as of today I am boycotting them. When I come to this I am literally ignored until I speak up on top of that. These women will bag the food order up right in front of me and then just walk off. The females behind the kitchen act like they don't know anything and when I confronted the situation the girl from behind the kitchen blamed some random coworker that wasnt even in the room when all of this went down. I definitely do not deserve this kind of treatment but yall deserve a call to the manager or corporate which I will be doing. Looks like they dont open til 830 tomorrow morning.
