    Cleaning! Outside areas are extremely dirty.Why are taking orders if you do not have ready the products and make clients loose time waiting.Parking lot is a mess,that's not a good welcome.Cook fresh and hot.Chef doing good good.Cashier very pro. Salon with tables not ready for use.

    We were just looking for quick deal, and the app gives you a free meal when you refer someone, so one of us referred the other. Additionally, we got 50 points just by signing up, which turned into two more free meals after we bought a platter of chicken haha. Speaking of the platter of chicken, I got the 1/2 mixed with yellow rice & beans and corn for $11.44. It felt like such a steal! I also tried a couple of their sauces and highly recommend mixing the cilantro garlic in with the rice. If you're looking for a nice pitstop on your way to the Everglades, this place will do the trick! P.S. there are massive lizards dominating the parking lot.

    I've always liked Pollo Tropical. The food is generally fresh, healthy, and with a good little kick to the taste. The place is clean, but on the downside lacking in good service and personal pleasantness. I know, it's probably a dreary sort of nowhere job, but do they really have to act like it? I went for their Grilled Chicken Cuban which is just like their very good Cuban but substituting chicken for roast pork. The sliced ham, potato sticks, creamy mustard, and Cuban roll, however, are all there and each with a good pronounced taste.

    This is what it's supposed to look like

    Horrible service, after my order was taken I was told they didn't have the pineapple salsa. I asked for my money back another cashier went back and brought the container from the back. I'll never go back again!

    This location is the WORST!!!!!! The wait is 25-45 minutes, just to order, in the drive through!!!!!!!!!! This is just ridiculous!!!!! I've been 28 minutes on line and still have not ordered!!!!!!! Unacceptable!!!!! What are these people doing???!!!! Because they're not working that's for sure!!!!!!!! So mad! I need to complain to corporate and get all these people fired! HIRE BETTER EMPLOYEES!!!!!!!!!! And I had to put 1 star n because it won't let me post... I would give it negative stars!!!!!... by the way it's 8 minutes later which is a total of 37 minutes and i'm at the window to be told to hold on! Wtf!!!!! If I wasn't sick and didn't need soup I would've been out of here 30 minutes ago! Should've went to Walgreens and got me a can of soup!!!!!!!!

    Take a close look at the Manager and staff sitting in the booth on their phones!

    TERRIBLE! If you and your family are driving up from the keys DO NOT waste your time and stop here! They allow you to order whatever you like only to tell you they don't have it! Owners really need to take a look at who they have managing this place. Staff is lazy and unfriendly. Uber driver showed up to pick up food and let us know that he hates picking up food from here. The staff was turning away customers only to be seen on their phones. Take a close look at the picture of the staff sitting at a booth on their phones, talking and laughing. Once again terrible place!

    This Pollo Tropical location on 1st Avenue in Florida City is a great place to stop for chicken and sides that are delicious and flavorful. They are worth the wait to get the food and sauces. I have had a really good experience coming here and the staff here works hard to get everything to you.

    Wow. This place was phenomenal. Our Airbnb host recommended this Cuban/Latin American restaurant in…read moreHomestead, FL and it was downright amazing! We got a sampler platter that included some croquetas, plantain chips, tamal, fried pork chunks, and fried shrimp. Zero complaints about anything! So so good. My main was the Sopa de Res, which was a hearty soup. The serving size was gigantic. I actually took most of it back with me and it made two more meals. There were lots of root vegetables, slow cooked beef still on the bone, a side of rice and corn. My dad got a huge Cuban sandwich that he also ate on for days and my mom had empanadas, which I finished off for a third meal. We also went back for pie. That was ok - it was extremely rich and kind of pricy at $13 a slice. I also tried their Cortadito and took it to go. Great coffee as well. Highly, highly recommend eating here. The decor is fun and the wait staff super nice and patient with all our questions. They also have a separate ice cream shop across the parking lot.

My husband ordered a Cuban sandwich with French fries cooked to perfection in clean oil, and I had grilled chicken (pechuga à la Blanche) with beans, rice, and sweet plantain, along with cilantro sauce. The portion sizes are very generous and we each had leftovers for another whole meal. We will definitely be back! I also appreciated that the suggested tip amount started at 15%. We left more, but too many restaurants have the suggested tip amounts much too high. Do look at the menu item pricing, as some dishes were $75+. It may have been due to portion size as well as ingredients.

After two days of driving through snow storms and heavy rain and spending a night sleeping in the truck at a Cracker Barrel just outside Chattanooga, TN, we finally made it to South Florida. We had just arrived to the area and it was a bit late. We were driving through Homestead, FL. We were hungry looking for something to eat. We saw an open food stand serving Venezuelan food. My wife being Venezuelan, and my favorite food being a Cachapa, we hooked a u-turn and headed back to the food stand. I ordered the Venezuelan hamburger (Burger La Tuyera) and my wife ordered the Barrilla (mixed BBQ). This was the first time I have had a Venezuelan hamburger. It was a huge hamburger (see the pics). It had sausage, an egg, cheese (queso de mano), corn... it was awesome. My wife loved her order. She had been saying she could not wait to get down to Miami to get some delicious arepas. The selection of meats in mixed BBQ tasted great and were cooked perfectly. The arepitas tasted awesome. The food here at this food stand was definitely worth doing a u-turn for. The couple running the food stand were very friendly and welcoming. We will be returning another day to try out their cachapas!!

My fiancé ordered the Chicken cordon Bleu which is apparently a staple here and it did not disappoint at all! Overall we had a great experience and the food was fantastic, you can't go wrong with Cuban food in south florida. The remodel of the restaurant was fantastic and you can't tell they put in a lot of effort making this establishment look really nice with a great ambiance. The items we ordered were a little bit more pricey than usual but we assumed that when we got iPads for menus! Gotta pay off the remodel somehow! This place was 10/10 with excellent service & will return to try other items!
