Not good at all they got my entire order wrong. I wish I would've read the reviews before I came here.

Someone put beans in my bag wrong and fell in my bag. I came to get it replaced and wasn't asked one question but a replacement beans. Thank you to the manager with black hair. read more

This location is terrible!!!! I only go because it is close to my home. Tonight the chicken was burned. I couldn't even consume it. The woman taking the order was very nice it was too good to be true. I feel. Tried calling the store it goes to customer service. I visited last week and got horrible service the wrap also wasn't cooked throughly. Management seems to have changed recently, the service is hit or miss. The food quality; terrible. 9/5/24 burned chicken, 8/30/24 white meat instead of dark as requested. Horrible service. 8/22 wrap not cooked. read more

My husband and I decided to go to Pollo Tropical for lunch. We went through their drive-thru to order. I ordered their Avocado Cilantro TropiChop salad with grilled chicken, along with a side order of their plantains. My husband ordered their Boneless Chicken Breasts with 2 Sides Platter, with his sides being rice and beans, along with a slice of their Key Lime pie . We both got 2 sodas as well. Our order did not take long to be ready, which was nice. I asked for one of each of their unique sauces and each one of them was delicious. My husband and I both really liked their food and both had a great lunch experience at this restaurant. The service was great as well. I can't wait to come back to try their Coconut Shrimp Platter! Definitely recommend!! read more

One star for occasionally good rice. What the heck happened to this place? Horrible service can NEVER ever get our order right. Food quality and quantity both declined over last two years. Head to Culver's nearly next door don't bother to go here read more

Being in Florida as I seldom am, I haven't really locked in any places that I always must go to. I know this: being this close to Puerto Rico I'm always trying to get a taste of that Caribbean flavor. So on a walk to Target, I couldn't help but notice the Pollo Tropical structure that sat right next to the store. Judging by the looks, it was exactly the type of spot that might be able to feed that unique tastebud. I'm guessing it was a converted Taco Bell or something else because the bones yelled of a familiar fast food chain that had been outfitted in a more island theme. The menu was interesting because it had some familiar Puerto Ricaño dishes but others that were unfamiliar. I thought I was gonna go with the Churrasco bowl that they were pushing but when I got closer and saw the combo chicken and pork, I had to change up! Another needed order was the sweet plantain (platino amarillo), so ordered me some of that too. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of the yellow rice, so I was just given the white by default (but take my word for it: if given the choice, I'd always go for the more exotic choice!). Diving in to my plate, I went for the chicken first. Though a little dry, the taste was absolutely fantastic! A very nice seasoning made a regular piece dance. But by far, the highlight of the plate was the pork! Succulent, shredded pork with a simple yet wonderfully savory profile that sent me right back to the beach front kioskos in PR. Pair that flavor with the sweet plantains and you have a dish that explains to you the playful paradox of Caribbean cuisine. For me it was a wonderful dining experience where I didn't expect one. All that and I didn't even have to cross the Atlantic! read more

Being back in Florida, I couldn't skip one odd my favorite Florida fast food chain. The food was very good as I remembered from last year, delicious. The place was dirty, even if I saw many employees trying to clean it. Also the coke had a weird flavor and had no bubbles. It tested like bottled coke that was left open for to long. Per usual I had their tropi chop, the grilled chicken is wonderful and their salsa bar is always my favorite part of the meal. My favorite are pineapple rum sauce and cilantro garlic sauce. Their guava bbq sauce is also to die for, it goes very well with bbq ribs they have. A little spicy kick with the spicy sauce and I'm still set. read more

The lady in drive thru had me repeat my order 3 times. Then proceeded to still get if wrong! I parked and went inside only for the "employees" standing around to tell me "this is all we have sorry". I wouldn't mind if it was something remotely close to my order but this is NOWHERE near what I ordered. This is the worst location I've ever been to. Don't waste your time. read more

Pollo Tropical - Boneless Chicken Breasts - With 2 Sides 1/4 Fire Grilled Chicken - With 2 Sides - Fast Food Near Me - Ft Myers, Florida

Horrible. Horrible. As someone who has enjoyed pollo for many years, I am extremely disappointed in the service at this location. I ordered a chicken platter and was I told (in a very rude and unprofessional manner) that it wouldn't be ready for 20 minutes. I said okay, I'll come back in 20. When I went back after 25 minutes, I was told chicken wouldn't be ready for at least 20 minutes. I told them "that's exactly what you told me over 20 minutes ago" they couldn't give an explanation, and they laughed about it. Pollo tropical, I am extremely disappointed in your service at this location and I hope you will fix it. read more

I went to this place with my family, and we were taken care of by Germaine. excellent service. very kind and respectful. employees like her make a difference Gracias! read more

My wife picked up dinner for our family. When we began eating the yuca was hard as a rock and my quesadilla was oily and did not taste like something that was freshly made. Also, my wife's dish was the wrong entree. We do not plan eating here or at any other locations ever again. read more

Drive thru orders are frequently wrong and the online hours indicate they are open until 11PM, but yesterday they were lights out at a quarter past 10. Too bad, the service is horrible because the food is great. I took my business to Dominos :( read more

First of all the service is terrible. I used to go almost every single day to the drive thru and there was always a girl I don't really remember her name I think it was daily , I don't really remember. But she was always so quick and sweet. And I just went back since I couldn't because I was not in the city and I go back and I had such a bad service. They didn't even let me ask for the sauce and they didn't gave me any napkins. Really unprofessional. read more

Just got 2 half chicken meals from this place and it tastes like its been sitting in a hot case for 8 hours my rice and my girlfriends rice is completely dry as well as the dry and hard as hell chicken yall gave us this place is a let down nasty waste of 20$ read more

Food quality is the same as ever but the portions are awful. You pay 10$ for a large tropi chop. To get less chicken than a 4$ sandwich. This is pretty much the standard for most locations as well. Probably the last time I'm gonna get food from here until they change management or something like that. read more

Pollo Tropical - "Large" tropichop - Fast Food Near Me - Ft Myers, Florida

We recently came back to Florida, and decided to go back to Pollo. Months ago the first time was ok, but several times after was a nightmare. Tropi-chop = hard/dry rice, very little chicken Family Chicken dinner - chicken was hard and small container of brown rice was not filled up , rice was hard and dry. Cuban chicken sandwich the worst - hardly any chicken and tough , very few potato sticks. Ordered with no sauce and employee taking the order never noted it, so the preparer put sauce and it had to be done again. This store went down hill quite dirty and long waits. Would think twice to go back to this location. Tried to call customer service , when the woman answered we started telling her the problem and she hung up. We tried calling back several times and no answer. Called the store directly & they don't answer either, you have to leave a message and no one calls you back. The bigger joke is the Pollo Tropical listens email, go figure that don't work either. Do yourself a favor stay away!! read more

Polo, tropical has totally went down drain. I've never met a business that didn't nose dive quicker with their new change and upgrades for sides. They are probably gonna go out of business soon. Somebody really made some horrible changes to this fast food place which it is a dying breed. Too bad used to love this place. Staff was really amazing but all new hires probably because they don't pay their employees right or take care of them. If you're looking to sit in the wide-open, minimal chairs and hard seats then this is your place. read more

Ordered beans and plain white rice on 11-4-23 and they couldn't even fully cook the rice, I ordered three family size to go, and when I got home it was like chewing on hard rice that wasn't cooked fully. How can you mess up plain white rice? read more

the past 3 times i've been to this location i've asked for certain things on my tropichop bowl and they either have been missing or mistaken for something else. I have also asked for a side of corn on the side and i've had to repeat myself before i go up to the window and it's been missing the past few times i've ordered. read more

Dirtiest restaurant I have ever been to. We should have left. No tables were clean, the sauce bar was gross and there flys everywhere. Stay away read more

The food is decent but I lived in this area for about 5 years and this is the worst the service has been, the drive thru wait is horrible; I literally waited 30 mins in the drive thru before I was finally able to reach the point where I could drive away.....please keep in mind once you enter the line you can't go around or reverse so your literally just stuck there. This was never a problem before and when I used to come here, the hours are always inaccurate because they chose to close early without properly relaying it to their customers! There is a Chipotle in the area please don't waste your money at this location! Zero stars! read more

I would highly advise against going to this place unless you would like to wait 30 minutes and not get your food or them not having the sauce you want. If there was an option for 0 stars I no doubt would give them that read more

by far the worse pollo ive ever been to and don't think i'll be back unless i absolutely HAVE to. the part of the menu for bowls is missing which would be fine if the drive thru worker would guide you but they just sit there expecting you to know what you want on your bowl and offered no help when i was obviously struggling. then proceeds to get my order wrong and then give me a bit of attitude after correcting her. don't come here unless you absolutely need to read more

Love the food from Pollo Tropical but this location is going downhill. It was dirty and there was trash they left sitting there for over an hour. I saw several employees walk right by it but I guess it wasn't their job? No lids and people kept asking for some amd they seemed annoyed. Next time we want chicken we'll go to the other location. read more

This is the 3rd time I go to this place , and all of the 2 times always seen the manager which it was a women treating bad to the employees. I do not like the way they treat people in there. Imagine how they could treat us customers. Horrible experience. read more

I really only go through the drive through when I get food here. There is a serious issue with the employees here understanding my order. The one time I go and they understand me, they get my order wrong. Every time I go here I have to argue with the staff to give me what I paid for. You are really going to argue with me about the food I paid for when I have the receipt in hand? Also the portion sizes are very small. This place needs a while new staff if you were to ask me. read more

THIS PLACE SCREAMS AVERAGE This joint is new to our area so we wanted to give it a try. We had a 1/2 chicken which came with white rice and an inedible roll, together with 2 sides: black beans and corn soufflé. Everything, except for the roll, were okay, okay, okay. Not good, not bad. Who, I ask you, strives for that? read more

This restaurant is horrible. Carry out. Lazy workers, dirty restaurant, lousy food. The cuban sandwich is featured right now and it is terrible. Dry and bland. Pickle falling off and made sloppily. Pain in the ass to eat it while falling apart. The Wonder bread version of cuban bread is awful. I was totally ripped off. read more

I've orders from Pollo Tropical in Miami before and it was really good. The food was good and there was plenty of it. A good value. But this time in Fort Myers I was shocked how little food I got. A teeny tiny little piece of chicken. Two super small containers with the side dishes. I mean there coyly t have been more than. 1/4 cup of corn and a 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes and gravy in each cup, of that much. Won't be ordering from this pen ever again read more

Ordered a boneless chicken breast platter. Received a half piece of chicken breast cut in three strips with a half scoop of white rice. I've called the restaurant 4 times and left a message and no one got back to me. Absolutely ridiculous and horrible customer service. Not the first time this has happened. Needs new management. read more

Pollo Tropical - Half of a chicken breast cut into three pieces and half a scoop of white rice - Fast Food Near Me - Ft Myers, Florida

My food was delivered late, which made me feel frustrated, but I decided to let it slide, as I understand that working in food services can be tough. I ordered the 5-piece Pollo Bites (for non-Spanish-speakers, pollo means chicken), with a side of rice and beans. I can honestly say, as someone that grew up eating Caribbean food, this was a deeply nostalgic feeling I experienced from eating this meal. The food was still hot, even though it was late, and I absolutely loved the rice and beans. For anyone that loves Caribbean food, I highly recommend any of these locations. read more

Great food bad service. This Pollo Tropical just went through a face lift (October 2017). They changed out the menu and took away all of the real pates, silverware and they no longer deliver to your table. It's apparent that they stopped delivering food to the table to cut Staff. The staff that remains was incapable of putting together the correct order for a single individual as I watched for 10 minutes in line. They Raise prices and lower quality hoping no one would notice. read more

How can you call it "Pollo Tropical" when the food portion is small, should be call "American Pollo Tropical" (or something to American name). Black beans in a tiny cup (meant for kids). A real Pollo would be a big cup (medium to large to x-large) of black beans on the side of your chicken. Same thing with the mashed potatoes & gravy, kids size. The chicken itself was alright, well done. If you're really hungry & you know you can a eat a plate or two, don't go at Pollo Tropical, charged more than the food. I walked out, still hungry...disappointed with this place. You got flies buzzing around your food, while you're eating. One hand on the spoon & another hand making the flies go away. The trash can was full (inside). Need more reliable people working in there. read more

I love I love it! I am from Michigan so we have nothing like this. I know the one in homestead florida much better but this one is as good.

the worst pollo tropical ive ever been to in my LIFE. if you're looking for a good pollo tropical go to another one because this is the worst one. our food is always overcooked to the point you cant even bite into the yuca or fries. they always forget our food, it took me three times coming back and complaining that there were no fries or rice and beans in the bag for them to finally remember i ordered fries. they never have the vegan chicken even though it says so on their menus. and i've found multiple hairs in my food. their nutella empandas are always undercooked, their lettuce is always spoiled and turning black. the staff is also rude and likes to ignore their customers. the food takes a long time to come. im genuinely surprised this place is still open considering how many bad reviews me and others have given this place. read more

Pollo Tropical - worst pollo tropical ever. - Fast Food Near Me - Ft Myers, Florida

Glad they came to town! Quality food not fried or covered in sauce. Great chicken and sides, but the garlic cilantro sauce is world class on the salsa bar is worth the trip alone. I lived in Fort Lauderdale when this chained started and have been to the Cape Coral store that was great. They bring the food to the table on real plates with real knives & forks. They clean up after you and no tipping. Can't be beat for a healthy choice in the QSR space. read more

Bottom Line: Never go here if you have any standards in your life. This place is awful in every category. 1. The line was out the door and there was absolutely no urgency in any of the employees to service the customers in a timely manner 2. The food selection was barely satisfactory unless you like to stuff your body with a major amount of unnecessary carbs and bad fats 3. When you actually get your food, it is NOT AT ALL what it is marketed to look like (both in size and quality). I waited 45 minutes total to get the food I ordered and when I got home the amount of food could barely feed a small child and my appetite at that point, non existent. After waiting this amount of time and enduring the overall experience at the establishment I did not even touch the food that I purchased. Basically, I would rather stave than ever eat the food or enter this restaurant again in my life. read more

Two stars since the chicken tasted decent, but lower review for everything else. At the drive through I ordered a chipotle chicken sandwich, waffle fries, and black beans. When I drove up I saw a sign advertising sauce to go with a variety of sauces listed. I asked for hot sauce. First the attendant handed me my drink with the lid half half causing a spill in the car. Ok, stuff happens, let it go. Next she hands me a plastic container with a few drops of hot sauce. I think I would have gotten more in a individual ketchup sized packet. When I drive away, I look in and realize no silverware. Guess the beans were meant to be eaten with my hands? The chicken was good although not too much chipotle flavoring. The sandwich itself was assembled carelessly. Beware of the drive through. read more
