    Simple interior but the food is where it's at!
    Kawika S.

    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!

    Tropi chop bowls and the sauces
    Karolina K.

    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.

    Boneless Chicken Breasts - With 2 Sides 1/4 Fire Grilled Chicken - With 2 Sides

    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.

    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$

    "Large" tropichop

    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.

    It's 300 and nobody gives a hoot

    Back when I went to FGCU & even for a couple years after, this place was one of my go-to spots in…read morethe Town Center. They're relatively efficient, the food always comes out fresh & they serve some of the best fast food items, in my opinion. I like that they're located on the outer part of GCTC closest to the university. There's plenty of parking available & the tables inside are more than enough for any size party. After years of not visiting this location, it was good to see they're still consistent. The burgers are some of my favorite because they closely resemble smash burgers. The patties get a nice char from being pressed which gives them a good little crunch. These thin, yet juicy, patties are placed in a buttery bun & the simple toppings really tie it all together. If you haven't had one of their burgers you're missing out. A must-have from the menu is the cheese curds. These fried bites of perfection are made with white & yellow cheddar that almost melt in your mouth. Whether you eat them by themselves or use them as a burger topping you really can't go wrong. The custard is also top tier. Creamy, fluffy & plenty of ways to customize, I could eat it by the gallon. My personal favorite is using their signature root beer to make root beer floats. Every time I visit the employees are friendly & helpful. The dining room & soda/condiment areas are usually kept tidy, as well. Much like other stores in GCTC, this Culver's has been a great addition. It's worth stopping by if you're traveling through Estero.

The butter burgers were excellent, hot, juicy, and exactly what you want when you order one. We got the fries extra crispy, and they came out piping hot and perfectly cooked. No soggy disappointment here. What really made the experience stand out, was the atmosphere and service. The restaurant was very clean, and the workers were genuinely friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. We also happened to sit next to a giant saltwater fish tank, which was an unexpected and fun touch (especially great if you're dining with family). Everything felt well-run, cared for, and consistent. When fast food is done this well, it deserves recognition. If you're in Fort Myers and want a reliable, satisfying meal with great service, this Culver's absolutely delivers.

    I am famous for ordering in the parking lot and then going through the drive through! Lol…read moreI had a reward in my app for 15% off $10 or more. So I used that and I carefully scrolled through the menu to find the best deals. (Plus I asked Gemini what the best deals were at taco bellmright now) Do not get the party packs, they are totally not worth it. Definitely go for the individual boxes and customize them the way you want. Because you get so much more food for the same price and it includes drinks! I didn't give them enough time to make my order so it wasn't ready when inwent to thendrive thru, but the lady on the speaker was so cheery, She asked how I was doing, and I said," great, and you?" and she said, "Taco Tastic! thank you!" she asked me to just give them a couple more minutes and to drive back around. And I said that I would just come in and wait for the order ( that way, it gave me the opportunity to check out the inside to add to the review) The outside seating area had a lot of trash on the ground and sauce packets left all over the tables, but as soon as I opened the door it smelled really bad in there... it was also pretty filthy with food particles all over the floor like they had just brushed them off the table. But I could tell they didn't even do that. Because the tables were filled with food particles as well from messy customers... I did manage to snap a picture of the soda machine area. Because that was pretty gross as well. I felt like I was sticking to the floors while I was walking through... My order was ready probably within a minute and she handed me everything and was very, very nice! I had a lot of stuff, So I kind of looked a little discombobulated, and one of the girls from behind the counter asked if I wanted a bag to put everything in.. so at least she was observant as well, and she was super sweet too. I love Taco Bell, so I'll definitely be back. But next time, I know, just to wait a little bit longer and grab my stuff from the drive through The cinnamon bun iced coffee was absolutely delicious! I didn't even make it out of the plaza before I sucked down my whole cup ( my kids hate that I do that lol) The cheesy potatoes were good! I never had them before. I thought they were honestly going to be tatter tots but they were real fried potatoes. And everything else in my order was delish, to me that is... everyone is open to there own opinion of course.. I do prefer the dorito taco over the regular crunchy taco.. The crunch wrap had no crunch. it just gets the hard shell soggy too fast. The cinnamon twists were ehh.. I cant think of how to describe them. (But the side choices were: chips n chz, cinnamon twists or chips n guacamole (.40 extra) and since i work in a Mexican restaurant like once a month, I get enough chips to snack on while I'm there. ) Ok, thats it! Bye!

    A Catastrophic Gastronomic Betrayal…read more I write this review not out of malice, but out of necessity--a warning, if you will, to any would-be adventurers craving south-of-the-border indulgence. Taco Bell, your culinary creations have betrayed me in ways I never thought biologically possible. On the evening of July 9th, I approached your establishment with the innocent enthusiasm of a man seeking a simple indulgence: a Crunchwrap Supreme and a Baja Blast. I left with a shaken soul, a stained sense of dignity and complexity , and most regrettably, a pair of thoroughly compromised trousers. Roughly 47 minutes post-consumption, my gastrointestinal tract launched a full-scale insurrection. The rumblings began subtly, like distant thunder over a calm horizon. I foolishly ignored the warning signs. A tragic mistake. What followed can only be described as a seismic event of biblical proportions. I sprinted to the nearest restroom like a man possessed. Alas, I was too late. Nature's call was less a call and more a forceful eviction. The betrayal was sudden, explosive, and absolute. My bowels, normally reserved and well-behaved, had turned against me with the ferocity of a thousand flaming hot Doritos Locos Tacos. The aftermath was unspeakable. I had to abandon my boxer briefs in a gas station trash can like a soldier discarding his ruined armor after battle. The emotional damage? Immeasurable. I stared into the mirror afterward, a hollow shell of the man I once was. Taco Bell, your flavor? Impressive. Your value? Undeniable. But your digestive consequences? Cataclysmic. Never again shall I dance so recklessly with your infernal seasoning. 1/5 stars. One point for taste. Zero for toilet safety and lavatorial hygiene standards.
