I asked for specifically 5 Cilantro Garlic sauces & 1 Poyo-Poyo sauce on my online order and lo and behold I got 5 Curry Mustard sauces and 1 Poyo Poyo sauce... While ordering online, they asked for my phone number: if you don't have Cilantro Garlic available, at least contact me for a substitute! I would have settled with Salsa or more Poyo-Poyo sauce. I abhor this sauce they gave me (Curry Mustard). I ordered a family meal deal and the whole meal was delicious. For anyone purchasing online or even ordering in general: please re-check your order! read more

Ordered 1/4 chicken with 1 side. I ordered dark meat. I received a small wing and more back than thigh. Disappointed. Plus I ordered at 12:40 pm for a 1:00 pm pick up. I still had to wait for them to make it. What is the point? read more

The worst Pollo Tropical location ever. Please don't waste your precious time trying this place. Starting from horrible wait time of 20 minutes to have my order taken after I remind them that I have been in line and can anyone help me, no customer service urgency, everyone frowning while working, when asked if I could have 1 hot sauce, the lady with name tag Graciela said I am going to the bathroom ask somebody else to help you. I told myself if the food is good, that's all it matters. Boy was I wrong. From chicken bowl looking like veggie bowl to burnt pieces of chicken when there were only few pieces to begin with. I hate wasting and throwing food away, but at this point I realized that I am putting garbage in my body so I stopped eating after few spoonfuls and putting the rest where the garbage belongs- trash can. It's only 120 in the afternoon and never knew I could be so upset without exchanging words with another person. Absolutely horrible experience. Time wasted. Money wasted. Still hungry after 30mins. Never visiting another Pollo Tropical again. I invested my time to warn other people from becoming casualties and victims of this horrible experience. read more

Here Sunday afternoon 1:30pm. Drive through busy so I came inside. Only 2 in front of me. Line moved quickly. Place looks very clean. 3 patrons inside eating. Ordered new item I never seen. Grilled chicken Avocado tropichop with cilantro. Got in less than a minute. Cashier very attentive and friendly. It has guacamole, actual pieces of avocado, fusion is perfect with the cilantro sauce on top. This is definitely a winner. I also ordered the natural lemonade. It was good. Taste legit. I will definitely be ordering this again. read more

I wish I could give negative stars. This is the absolute worst location. I came at 3pm, not during a rush. I ordered a steak tropichop. I paid and they gave me a bag. I drove homen10 minutes. Opened the bag, it's a cheap fried sandwich and a side salad. NOT a steak tropichop. Tried to call the number listed online for them, it's a bs automated number that talks about employee w-2s. Once you get past about 10 minutes of prompts, then you get something that tells you that even if you want to refund you have to download an app. I downloaded the app and there's nowhere on there that You can request a refund. I had to drive 10 minutes back to the store because there was nothing I could do. You can't get a human on the phone and the phone number doesn't actually link to the location. I came to the location and stood at the counter for probably 5 minutes before I could ever get anyone to even look at me. I asked for the manager and she came over. She asked if I wanted them to remake the food or get a refund. I told her I would rather have the refund because I was pretty upset at this point because I had to drive another 10 minutes away to go back to the store and 10 minutes to go back to my house again through no fault of my own, just because they were not capable of filling the order correctly to begin with. I missed an extra half hour of work due to all of this, and I'm really just frustrated. The employee should have checked the order before they just handed a bag blindly. And the correct number for the store should be listed online, not some automated thing that does absolutely nothing for the customer. I would have just requested a refund via the app or the phone if I could have and went somewhere else to get food since the order was not right at all it wasn't something I would have ordered. But I couldn't even do that because that wasn't an option. read more

Food always fresh. Shout out to the employees especially Jessy who waited on me tonight. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

Food usually great. YOUNG GIRL AT THE WINDOW HAS TO GO. She arrived around 9:45 when I was pulling up for my order which I ordered with a much nicer lady. Rolled her eyes and basically threw the order and sauce I asked for at me. Not sure what I could've done to her but if you hate your job you should find another! Also heard the staff speaking Spanish about the customers more than likely thinking I didn't understand..... read more

Great afternoon lunch at pollo tropical. For the first time in my experience, there was no one I'm the drive thru lane, this location is always very busy no matter the time. The lady over the mic took my order quickly and efficiently, she was also very polite. The food was as good as usual, I ordered a 1/4 chicken with white rice and beans. The restaurant was well kept from the outside. read more

Horrible service!! Window attendant speaks to you disrespectfully when asking for sauce (especially the girl with the face tattoos). Also, something is always missing, the rice is pasty or the chicken is dry. read more

Love Pollo tropical even if I don't eat chicken or meat. I love their black beans and rice seasoned perfectly just like Caribbean food should taste like. They also have boiled yuca and fried yucca so yummy. Another favorite is the tostones . I saw that they are now serving the famous Cuban sandwich. The Cuban sandwich is my mothers favorite it has ham, pork, cheese, mustard, pickles, salt and pepper and is grilled. Some of their family meals are at a really good price. Pollo tropical was founded in 1988 by two brothers Larry and Stuart Harris, The chicken recipe was the result of Larry's studying cookbooks on Latin American cuisine and conducting experiments on his backyard grill to perfect the marinade. From that onset the restaurant strategy was to grill the perfect chicken. There were no prepackaged , precooked menu items or micro waves. Pollo tropical now has 140 stores and is a subsidiary of Fiesta Restaurant Group. read more

There's only one good employee here. Golden has great customer service, & is super nice. The rest of the staff need to be replaced ASAP. Completely ignore you when you ask for sauce as they HAND you food. You ask another employee and they say it's not their job. The manager just walks around and doesn't assist their staff as they're clearly understaffed. read more

This place sucks. Takes over 45 minutes in the drive thru to receive an order with one car in front of me. Absolutely horrendous service. How does this place even stay open with so little sense of urgency and also the person taking the order makes you repeat every single item you order. Whaaaat? Huh?????? read more

It was 10PM on Sunday. They had already cleaned the grill. No chicken was available at all. They had no lettuce for salads. They were cleaning the place. I said looks like you are closing up early. It takes over an hour to cook chicken was the response. Well why didn't you have more already cooked then?!? Why are all the employees that work here clowning around or smoking week by the dumpster and coming back in to work? read more

Prepare to wait for a very long time! The drive-thur line and inside are extremely long not sure who their taking of first but it's obvious they have no control in the kitchen. I kinda felt bad for the cashier inside, because It was probably her 1st day on the job and she kept asking for help on every order. Oh btw don't forget to check your order at the counter because there alway something missing and if you back to the counter and for It they'll look like you're from Mars or Uranus.. PS. Avoid this location at all time the homeless people are out of control here. Trust me you don't want to dine-in at all here!! read more

They need to shut this location down or get a new team. This is by far thee worst Pollo of its franchise. Slow workers, no customer service, incorrect orders, burnt food. Corporate doesn't seem to care by the looks of the reviews. read more

These drive thru lines are ridiculously long. I've been in the line now for 35 min and never again will I do this because it's a Sunday and they closed the inside so now they are forcing people to go thru the drive thru on a SUNDAYYYYY. Like Pollo Tropical do better. AND PAY YOUR WORKERS BETTER PAYYYY SO THEY CAN CAREEEEE read more

Pollo Tropical - Pollo Tropical Regular Tropichop has now become "Mini-Tropichop" and so has the amount of food ! But the price has gone up twice ! - Fast Food Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

The drive through line at this location is always long so be ready to wait up to 15mins to receive your food. The white rice , I ordered was not cooked properly and the chicken was dry. Be sure to check your food before you leave so you don't get home to eat it and be disappointed. If you pay by card be sure they return it after purchase the driver in front of me had to hold up the line cause the cashier forgot to hand it back , funny thing she forgot my card to , I had to ask for it twice. read more

Pollo Tropical - Pollo Tropical - Fast Food Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

Horrible customer service. Ordered ahead and it was not there. Finally got someone attention and they said I had to give my name before they would make it. What's the point of ordering ahead? Then they had no cookies for the kids meal, but offered me corn or bread instead. Really? Customer service was horrible. Food was average. Tasted the same as ever other Pollo Tropical... read more

DO NOT COME HERE! Absolutely no sense of good service. Received an incorrect order from them and they were not willing to take responsibility. Their attitude was rude and blameful towards us. They were unwilling to help. I wonder if their workers are overworked or what their problem is, maybe they don't like their job? Very unhappy and rude people. On top of it, the chicken was dry and they didn't have half of the items we ordered which included the sweet plantains and the pineapple rum sauce, and cheesy plantain bites. read more

Every time I come they never have curry mustard for the tropichop. Today was my last time stopping here for food! You would think the workers would make this known when you place the order not when you get to the window to get your food. read more

According to Google, Yelp and the Pollo website, they close at 11pm. We pulled in to the drive through line and when when it was finally our turn to order, no one took our order so we drove up to the window. When we got to the window many employees walked past us at the window but no one came to the window to say anything. After honking and knocking on the window someone came to the window and said they were closed even though it was only 10:23pm. read more

TOOK forever when going inside and they forgot something so I had to go back in and wait AGAIN. never going back again.

I've been to several Pollo Tropicals because it is one of my favorites fast healthy food restaurants but this one is the dirtiest Pollo I've ever been to. It looked like it was staffed with the same amount of employees as any other one I've been to and it wasn't rush hour. read more

Poor service. Very rarely do I get service delivered with any courtesy. It's as if no one wants to be working. Pretty off putting.

I'm sure food will be fine but this review is solely based on the service ordered 30 plus minutes ago and still see a handful of people that ordered before me and are still waiting. This isn't 1st time and hope management can get this corrected soon. read more

The lemonade is extra but it's nothing special in my opinion I'll stick to the tea next time which is great read more

I wish I could give this place a 5 star but unfortunately I won't, order my food open the food to eat it. Found this plastic inside of it. read more

I've been waiting for someone to take my order. There's no line and it's open. I drove up to the window and the employees aren't finished opening the store. 3 people looked at me and ignored me. Someone even rolled their eyes. This is your job. The store is open. Take my order so I can go! It's not busy at all. This was a horrible experience. No stars if I could rate that. read more

Food it's good!! But Dajanne service is the worst...I never seen a person working like her..She was taking my order and she wasn't even paying attention to the order that I wanted..I took my time to leave my opinion over here because is not the first time that happens and to see if someone cares about this place and clean a little bit who doesn't want to work .She always give attitude to the costumers and I'm not coming back just because of .. read more

Total fail. Waited 12 minutes in drive through. Told 20 minute wait for chicken. Out of tostones. Only think they had was sweet plantains. WTF. Saturday night in the city and they don't have these 2 essentials. Really doing down the tubes. Boston Market here I come. Angry, frustrated, disabled senior citizen. Shame on you Pollo Tropical!!! read more

Wish I could give them ZERO stars. Waited in line at the drive thru for at least 20 minutes, only to be told at 11:52PM by the staff that they are closed. So I responded it's only 11:52PM, then lady said "my manager said to tell everyone we are closed". Just rude, Discourteous and unprofessional. I truly hope corporate reads this review. read more

Stopped in here for a quick bite to eat. Live pollo tropical. Have eaten at quite a few and figured I'd get what I normally do. A tropi-chop. Asked for the small with chicken and rice beans and some mashed with corn and tomatoes. Not sure if they've changed how they do things but I my order was refused. I asked why and they told me they couldn't do it. I even said if it was extra , I'd cover it. Denied. So I left. Hungry and agitated I drove to another pollo and magically they did the order. I wouldn't recommend coming here for their lack of customer service and management not meeting the customers expectations. This isn't rocket science. Just chicken. Have a not so great day. read more

I understand if there's a long line at this place but as i was eating i found something in my food. I thought it was bone at first as i was chewing but it's literally some type of wire in my food. I know that time's are tough with covid and it's busy but this is dangerous. Imagine if I actually had swallowed this. You guys need to be a little bit more careful. read more

This is the worst Pollo I have ever been inDo not waste your time going to this location they don't care about customer service I made an online order they couldn't find the order for 20 minutes my husband finally left because they allowed a homeless person who smelled horrific to come into the restaurant and panhandle they ran out of chicken and they ran out of tomatoes they were taking orders and then when people paid they waited until the order came out and inform the people that half of their order wasn't there because they were running out read more

I have ordered twice for pickup during the shutdown. I took advantage of the Pollo Pantry and both times I ordered a whole chicken and this time I added the chicken breast, uncooked but marinated. Each time I ordered two 1/2 chicken platters also. I am happy to say that each order was filled perfectly and the food was awesome and the staff was exceptional. The split chicken I seasoned again and first put it under the broiler at the top rack skin side up, 8 minutes. Then I flipped it over, 15 minutes, and finally I flipped it one more time 6 minutes, delicious. read more

It is literally against company policy to get your order right at this location ‍ I hardly ever go and when I do decide to go something is always wrong, it never fails. This place should close down and make room for a la granja. This location is an embarrassment to the Pollo Tropical food chain. read more
