I was disappointed.
Food tasted old.
Forgot to give me a drink with my combo.
They forgot my sauces.
$8 for a chicken sandwich that tasted like it was from the microwave was disappointing.

Is was great to find a Pollo Tropical since they no longer exist outside of Florida. This store served the usual great PT menu, though expanded from past stores that I visited. My only complaint is that the store could definitely use an update.

I made my order today around 11:30, they forgot to give me the cheese bites. After I come back they have the 3 orders of bites I made in one smaller container. The lady brought the container with bad attitude and drop food from the container to the floor… no apologies, no more food no nothing. Definitely not going back… all I can think is people trying to eat my food
