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 Pollo Tropical, but the location on Palm Bay Rd has been consistently disappointing. Almost every time I order from here, something is wrong or the food is dry and cold.
I decided to give it one final chance and went inside this time. My Tropichop bowl sat out for about 20 minutes before the rest of the ingredients were added. I could also hear employees arguing in the back, which made the experience even more uncomfortable and unprofessional. The manager did remake my bowl, which I appreciated, but unfortunately the meat was still dry.
I really enjoy Pollo Tropical, but this location seriously needs to improve its food quality, consistency, and overall professionalism.

Filthy bathrooms, no lock on the stall door, I stood in line waiting for somebody to take an order and nobody acknowledged us at the counter. They were too busy trying to figure out how to unlock a door with a line of four of us waiting just now that I left and will order from somewhere else

First I order my food. It’s says you can add a regular side for $1.50 more. I get my receipt and they charged me $4.99 for plantains. I ask the cashier and she starts a refund. Then asks me what side I want. I say plantains. She said you can’t get that side for $1.50 I said ok I still want that. Maybe just maybe she could have just said that when I questioned it. They had to refund my card and recharge it. Then I get home get my food out and the Chimichurri sauce for my steak is missing. Just very poor service. I gave two stars only because the manager was nice and I could see he was just as frustrated with this cashier. Won’t go back.

The white rice is wet and bland. The beans are runny. The Chicken isn't too bad. This is the 2nd time I've come in two years and it has not improved.
