Ssooooo, we were waiting in the drive thru line. The car in front of us left. We drove to the speaker, waited for about 45 seconds and an employee who was standing outside waived at us and did the universal "closed" signal. It's 945pm! (See photo). Store says closes at 12! Is that normal to suddenly just close over 2 hours before your advertised closing time? I've gone to pollo's that run out of chicken early, which I understand, but they at least communicated. It honestly just looked like every employee who was inside (yes there were multiple inside as well a customers) just stopped wanting to work. Had to go to mcdonalds 😒

I have real reason to believe a worker may have tampered and or spit in my drink on June 8. I immediately called the store with no answer and then corporate who assured me they would look at cameras and give me assurance that it did not happen. They will not return my emails and I called today and they closed the case without any proper investigation which leads me to believe I may have been right. I am disgusted and frustrated.

I came in first thing, probably the third customer and I was served by Iago. Immediately made me feel comfortable. He greeted me with a smile and put together my order perfectly. If more Pollo Troplical had employees like Iago, I'm sure they would do more business and have a lot more positive reviews. Like I said the food was great, service was great, the whole experience was excellent and it always starts with a smile and great attitude and the gentleman Iago had all those things going for him. Outstanding!!!!
