DO NOT GO! I have video of a male employee (handling the food) with no mask. The last two times I went they forgot to give me things. (15 dollars worth of food from the last receipt) We called 5 times and left messages. No answer. Went to the location and they refused to give me what they forgot. They were very rude and the manager refused to come to the window. read more

Missing half the items I ordered. Didn't compensate me for missing items. Didn't fulfill even 1/4 of the requested condiments. And rude staff read more

Great choice for a quick lunch or dinner. Meat and veges seem very fresh and staff is very friendly.

Y'all have to do better this was my favorite place last two times I got food here it hasn't been fresh it's dry and like wood ...the point of your chicken is that it's flavorful and juicy not taste like a toothpick. This place is going down hill. Hopefully management will see this and train their employees better I know in this day and age getting people to work is hard but value the employees that are working and they will work better for you. I will try again in a couple months cause I have hope I hope they get it together read more

This is the smallest quarter chicken meal I have ever seen in my life. I actually turned around and came back so I could go into the restaurant which is still closed on the inside. I will never bother to eat in this restaurant again. read more

Pollo Tropical - Latin American Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

I wasn't impressed at all the food wasn't all that!! The rice was dry my chicken tasted dry and on top of that my drink tasted like they needed to change the filter everything was horrible I'll never eat at the is place ever again read more

I love Pollo Tropical, but this franchise is consistently the worst of those I frequent. They're always out of things. To make matters worse, their staff are unhelpful with menu questions when trying to navigate a menu and tracking multiple missing ingredients. Sometimes, the missing ingredients magically appear on other ordered items. Also, their portions tend to be smaller than other locations. read more

Bottom of the barrel. Travel a lot in central fl for work and this one takes the cake. Watched 6 staff members walk around as I stood at the register for a period. Employees wearing hats crooked and talking about how it's to early to be dealing with customers ( it was 11:30). Per company the food is good and will continue to eat at other locations. But this one no massss needs house cleaning/ new staffing read more

Went through the drive thru and was missing several items that we ordered. The tropi chop only had 3 small pieces of meat. It was pouring down rain and the drive thru was packed so did not even bother to go in and complain. I used to like Pollo Tropical but they have gone down hill, won't eat there again read more

Very tasty Caribbean-style roast chicken. The wings are a delicious mild jerk flavor. The sides are also quite good and the prices very reasonable. Friendly service by most. read more

Not recommended at all. Constantly left waiting for 30 minutes to 1 hour outside for almost every order, staff sometimes just doesn't make the order after giving name so I've have to call to receive a refund before. They close doors earlier than closing time for some reason so trying to even pick up an order in drive thru is time consuming. Gave it a second try and same outcome. Staff doesn't seem to much care for customers and their orders. read more

Came at 10pm when it says they close at 11pm. I can see workers inside but they have the door closed and won't answer through the drive through. It's like they're hiding so they don't have to work. read more

Never mobile order from here. I have done it three different times and received my food 30 minutes later than the estimated pickup time. I understand that it gets busy, but the mobile ordering system here is not good at all. read more

It was okay. Lobby area was clean and service was good but our order was wrong and the portion sizes were kinda small. Food tasted good but they were skimpy with the chicken and lettuce. read more

Came in for a cuban sandwich & told me they are out of everything, & told me "you should of came early" how rude

We have stopped in here for dinner twice before. Three strikes. XXX (They are out)!We got there just before 6pm and were given dried & overcooked chicken AGAIN! Never going back. read more

My wife and I stopped in here for a quick lunch today. The building is brand new and beautiful. The lobby, restrooms, and salsa bar were squeaky clean. It's obvious that the crew is new and still finding their groove, but they did a pretty good job. I ordered a Tropichop with chicken, half rice, half lettuce, all the way. It was good, but they gave me all rice and they were skimpy on the chicken. My wife had a cesar wrap. It had no lettuce, but when i went to the counter they gladly gave me a nice bowl of romaine. It was enough for her wrap and my tropichop. The food was hot and delicious. Im giving them 3 stars for now and will give an updated review when they've had a chance to gain a little more experience. read more

The worst drive thru experience I've had in a long time. Still consistently slow and the parking lot is horrible at lunch time. There is no room for cars to pull in and out of spots while people are in the drive thru. It's unfortunate...it is pretty busy and I like the food but the parking lot and drive thru make this a bad experience. read more

I moved in the Daytona Beach area from the Sanford area. Boy was I spoiled there. The Daytona Beach franchise never has any sauces they always say they have to make more unless you ask to speak to a manager the magically they have sauces. My orders never come out right. You can't drive away until you check everything. The always leave out beans or something in an order and the portions are half of what they were where I came from. I'm tired of arguing with them. I'll go somewhere else. Avoid this Pollo Tropical location until they get new management. read more

Food is very good! Sooo disappointed the location on Dunlawton Ave closed! That store manger had that location running fantastic, great service and food! The ISB location has its challenges. read more

What a terrible experience I had while using the drive through at this establishment. Now, when I make the terrible decision to come here, I don't even pull away from the window after receiving my food anymore because I know they messed up my order and I'm going to have to argue with them about it. Last night was no different. I am literally shaking still. The young African American girl working the window did not even greet me, she just said the total, took my card, then said "here" and rudely forced it back into my hand before slamming the window shut in my face. Without another word, she handed me my drink and my order which was wrong. I sat there for 2 more minutes before she came back and said "what?" I told her my order was incorrect, and she listened to me rattle off the reasons as such. One reason was my bowl did not have cheese and her reply was, "You white people eat enough cheese". I was appalled. I didn't even give her the food back to correct it because I believed she would tamper with it after that blatant racist statement. I will never step foot in a pollo tropical again. read more

It would be nice if I had a survey because they messed up the sides. One was Tomatoes and the other was yucca...luckily I decided I didnt like the taste of the Yucca (has no flavor lately) and brought it in for what I expected was a second tomatoes, but when I got home the other one had yucca in it... they had put yucca in both instead of just one. And the yucca tastes nasty lately. It used to be absolutely delicious but not now read more

Amazing!! I went here with my family after a long day for a nice filling meal, we were not disappointed! We had the Family Meal which came with a whole chicken, 4 dinner rolls, & sweet plantains. We added yellow rice, pinto beans, and fried yuca. The chicken was juicy, tender, and flavorful as well as the plantains but the dinner rolls were nothing special. The rice was soft and pillowy with so much flavor and the beans were well seasoned and yummy. They had a sauce bar which we ended up loving the Garlic Ranch. The service was great as well as the cleanliness. Overall, I highly recommend this location! read more

THE WORST!! Avoid at all cost! Manager is extremely rude cares less about business. They have signs up for online orders but what is the point if you have to wait in drive thru? read more

So I fell in love with this place in St Pete Florida and since moved to Daytona Beach. Nothing but bad experiences here. First off the resturant is dirty and the rice wasnt cooked fully. That was a year ago. Today i decided to try again. should of checked my pick up order. It was so small i could count the corn, peppers and onions on my tropi chop. Then when i call to register my concern no one answers. I say stay away if you want a good or even descent meal . You guys should close this location and save your reputation. read more

I was very excited when I landed in Florida today to hit up my favorite fast serve place, Pollo Tropicale. Pulling up in the drive through at 6:30, I was amazed at how slow it was going. When it was my turn, I was told that they were out of bone in chicken, which was a major bummer. I was a bit testy about it, as its their signature product and they really shouldn't run out in the middle of dinner hour. I also suggested they put a sign or someone out front to let everyone know as it was really slowing down the line. I was told they don't have the staff to do that and that they run out because they currently close at 8:00. Which makes no sense. Anyway, when I got home I realized they did not give me the side dishes that went with my daughters meal, even though they were on the order.So I got back in the car and drove back 15 minutes. When I got there, there were hand written signs on the door saying they were temporarily closed, but the staff was still there. I banged on the door waving my receipt saying that I just wanted the food I had already paid for. The staff actually laughed at me and just kept cleaning. When I kept knocking one of them started to make the sign of throat slash at me. All I wanted was the mashed potatoes and plantains that I had paid for. I know that it has been hard to hire lately but the crew working tonight is highly unprofessional. I will continue to go to PT but not this location, even though Im in the area a lot. read more

7:30 pm on Wednesday night and noone is taking orders in the drive thru. Lights are on and at least two employees were inside but dinning room isn't open. After waiting 18 minutes in the drive thru I pulled around to see a woman standing at the register on her cell phone refusing to work. She could've had the decency to tell the customers they are closed either verbally or with a sign. read more

As a puerto rican man I go to this location for fast and easy Spanish food and have issues every time. They'll allow you to order items that aren't even in stock, charge you for them, and when you bring it to their attention they'll say "we don't have that, that's why we didn't give it to you". Plus terrible customer service with incredibly rude employees.. read more

First time visiting a Pollo Tropical, and was SO impressed! The food was excellent and very affordable! We stopped here for a quick meal while we traveled, and now we're hooked. Whenever we are near, we will be making a stop! My partner and I shared a half chicken meal. This included half of a roasted chicken, and two sides. We choose black beans and rice (which is more like two sides) and green beans. We had more than enough food for two people, and really enjoyed everything we had. To compliment the food, Pollo offers a sauce bar full of different sauce choices. We tried several, and we were impressed with them all. To top off our meal we sipped on their delicious sweet mango tea. The only reason for not giving a full 5 stars is because many of the tables were dirty when we visited. read more

The customer service absolutely horrible and once we spoke to the manager he only said "Okay. Okay." And never once apologized for the 20+ minute wait AFTER we got the confirmation that our online order was complete read more

I always sometimes have a healthy craving so when I do I find myself here. Wether it be late at night or for a quick lunch break I always head here for a great meal. read more

Tamika is the best! She was so helpful, I'm with my family and she was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions on what to try. We came from California, and this place started out in Miami. If you're from Cali this place has a Pollo Loco feel but this place has tropical sauces to go with the chicken to match their east coast vibe, tasty! read more

Every time it's affordable and large quantities. There's a server Kyra she's super helpful every time and has the best attitude

I ordered the family meal with sides of plantains and yuca. The chicken was very tender and juicy, the rice and beans were nice and hot with lots of flavor. The plantains were nice and sweet, the yuca was crispy and delicious with the garlic cilantro and guava bbq sauces. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because a couple of the pieces of chicken were pretty charred. read more

I haven't ate a bad meal here. Value for dollar you can't beat it. Same price as fast food with much more flavor and substance. The wrap portion is fairly small but my go to is a small tropi chop. They are fairly quick at lunch even when there is a long line and always have great customer service. Recommend! read more

Words cannot describe the level of addiction I have to their lite combo- chicken Caesar wrap with cup of Caribbean chicken soup. I probably could eat it for every meal! And at around 400 calories, I don't feel bad about that statement! The mojo sauce basically is life and the condiment bar is great. So glad Pollo Tropical FINALLY made it to the Daytona market! I hope they open more in the area! The food is delish, priced affordably and much healthier than most fast food places. read more

Aweful aweful aweful. Ran out of white meat chicken during lunch hour. Cashier had the audacity to give a very snarky comment and attitude about wanting to still wait for it and it would be a long time well it was... Over 40 minutes. Crazy considering this is a chicken joint and they should be well prepped for lunch hour. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch while visiting. Place looks new but the inside had issues. The utensils were dirty I had to pick through a few to find a clean one. Condiment bar was a bit dirty because folks don't know how to pu after themselves. The staff all had attitudes. It was our very first time eating at a Pollo Tropico and no one was interested in helping us understand what everything was. They guy taking our order seemed to get frustrated with us for ordering slow. He was making the "hurry up" hand gestures. Could just have been a bad day but seems on par for every place here in Daytona. Guess everyone in this town is upset about something and the tourists get the brunt of their frustrations. The food itself was better than I thought it would be. I had the Mojo Pork, Maduros (sweet plantains), and boiled yuca with garlic sauce. I will try Pollo Tropico again just not this one. read more

Food took over an hour, had to keep reminding the 1 person serving to stop clearing my order! This place was great like everything else in this area the staff sucks making it another location I won't be back to!, hope this location closes read more

They are always friendly and the food is good but i've slowed down on going there because their quality of food has slowly been going down, The chicken has had red/blood coming out of certain parts on numerous visits and i'm close to just not going there at all. The BLTs barely have bacon on them( one strip broken in half) and there isnt much green vegatable sides to choose from. Hopefully they'll get it together the food is good but the quality isn't worth going there spending money on. It sucks having to constantly check food to make sure i won't get food poisoning when the place should have that downpack. read more
