Sad, sad. I used to love Pollo Tropical, but they disappointed me so much. These were my criteria for the stars. Food- fries: disgusting, looked like a day old, drenched in oil. Etc Food: chicken full of tendons, little meat. Vegetales rice: clumpy, wet, gooey. Soda: flat Service: the cashier was nice but the servers... they complained and mock me for returning the unapealling fries. Cleanliness: the trash cans were overflowing Bathrooms. Not terrible but not clean. read more

They don't have anything! They also don't tell you and just don't charge you for it. Great communication

I don't know why I even bothered ordering. The last two experiences have been horrible and I don't know why I was expecting this one to be better. The chicken was so dry as usual. Eating cotton balls would be juicier than this chicken. The Churrasco, and I'm only assuming this is what it was. It smelled weird, looks like mulch, except mulch is probably juicier. I tasted it and it tasted weird. I put a picture of the steak. I thought I was getting in a picture of what I got. I will never go to this one again. I will just have to make the drive to another location. A one star rating was too generous. read more

Pollo Tropical - Churasco steak that looked and felt like mulch but mulch is probably not as dry as these sticks. I wouldn't even give this to my dog. - Fast Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

Hi Yelps! this one was a big bummer for - I'm a huge pollo tropical fan my whole life! this is the pollo on 152 during lunch I ordered a Cesar salad wrap which is usually always a choice! and would recommend. I also ordered a side of small black beans (I love) and as I'm eating I feel and odd texture in my mouth and found this tiny piece of plastic. I was running short on time during my break so I didn't speak with a manger or brought ir to their attention but I haven't returned since! this is extremely dangerous and please when ordering from this location just review your food good read more

I paid $50: whole chicken family meal with rice and beans, an extra rice, large fries, large plantains, soup and flan. They gave me really dry chicken, who knows long it was there waiting for someone to order it. The fries were notoriously old and dried up. And a BIG problem with the plantains. Whoever fried them did not pay attention to their quality. The outside was dark and it felt sad, and when you took a bite, it was hard and extremely dry. Ive had good plantains before from other Pollo Tropical stores. The good ones were colorful in yellow, lively, soft and juicy. Im never coming back to this store ever again. It was my first and it's definitely the last time. read more

Pollo Tropical - This is the NEW avocado bowls.... I was expecting fresh avocados at least... - Fast Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

3 Stars for quick food that won't blow you away, but is ok. I went through the drive through and needed to grab a quick bite. The intercom must not have been working because an employee was standing outside taking orders on a tablet. Once we got to the window, we got our food, but we're barely acknowledged. No biggie, but one word would have been nice. The food was not as good as I've had at PT in the past. I'm not a fan of the way they do their yucca fries. They used to look like the typical fried yucca sticks, but are now bite-sized and are the equivalent of chicken nuggets at McD's. The chicken was great though. A bit charred, but those pieces actually had a ton of flavor, so I'm not mad about it! And finally, the sweet plantains tasted like oil or something. There was just an unpleasant flavor to them. It's definitely an option in a pinch, but not otherwise. read more

2 stars only because I like the food, however this location needs work. Service inside is sub par. Drive thru is ok but usually long lines. I come here because it's the closest location to my home, however with a new location coming soon I will drive farther for better service. Ordered twice recently through the official app and when I went to pick up there were issues both times. Just the other day I ordered curbside pickup, and it does not work here. The app directs you to call a 954 number (that is unanswered, I tried more than once)to say you have arrived. The phone number on the designated curbside pick up signs does not work either. Neither phone number are the locations phone number. Had to go inside to get my order that wasn't quite ready even though I ordered 1 hour prior and designated my pickup time and the app said order completed. Only one employee inside handing out the meals was pleasant. Doubt I'll come back to this location. read more

Ordered 2 Cuban sandwiches, a wrap, 2 tropi chops one with brown rice, lettuce chicken and tomato's, the second white rice black beans chicken and cheese (which they say they don't add cheese when I've added cheese several times to them). When I got my order, no tomato and no cheese and pickle inside my tropi chop. When I go inside to correct my order she hands me containers with cheese and tomato and tells me to have a goodnight. Yea cause I came thru a drive thru only to get out of my car once I had to park and STILL not get my order done right. I'm not one to usual post a review but this is ridiculous read more

I read my fellow yelped reviews and luckily I wasn't totally screwed when I came to Pollo Tropical. However I did have the same occurrences which I was sad about since I love this place. For those who don't know Pollo Tropical is the epitome of the Hispanic fast food restaurant. There are others who are trying to join on this crusade (I see you Cuban Guys) however no one has managed to reach Pollo on a corporate level. Pollo Tropical has an array of Hispanic dishes that are the typical dish for MANY Hispanic countries. Rice, beans, some veggies, lots of grease aka mojo, and of course a meat. The main meat is obviously chicken (hence the name) but they throw in shrimp, steak, and other proteins. All Pollo Tropical's are the same and they aren't like all fast food restaurants. What defines them is the service they provide. This particular location forgets items that you ordered. To me since all fast food establishments should be equal, the fact that items are forgotten are a big deal. I have been here three times. All three times they forgot something. Twice it was big enough that I turned around and once I just kept driving. It is annoying needless to say. My other yelp reviewers agree when I read their reviews. Since this is next to my house and I absolutely love chicken I cannot run to another location so I guess this is my only option. However I cannot in good conscience give it a good review. Forgetting something EVERY single time? that's not good. Hopefully next time they won't. Who knows. read more

Visiting from Colorado they had a little boy outside taking orders but he was no where near the menu so we moved up to the menu that pissed him off I ordered a vegan wrap and sweet plantains we got to my sisters house took a bite of the wrap and it had ground beef in it had to spit it out the plantains were burnt to a crisp and we did not go back !! Terrible!!!!!!!Gonna take the plantains back. Husband ate the wrap I'm still hungry read more

I went to this Pollo Tropical around 11 am and ordered a small chicken Tropi-chop and guess what I found, a piece of paper labeled inside my food.

Check your food before you put it in your mouth. read more

Love their roast pork, but they should be ashamed of how cheap they are. I asked for cilantro garlic sauce with my meal. Thankfully, I noticed the sauce containers were practically empty before I drove off. I asked for a few more, and those were also practically empty. Just charge for the damn sauce! Updated 12/8...Still 1 star! So I just left my local Pollo. I ordered a Tropichop with pork, rice, onions and corn. I always check my order before I leave the drive thru, as they sometimes forget items. On this particular visit, I did not see the corn , so I asked the chubby Hispanic young man at the drive thru if he could add the missing corn. He looked me straight in the eye and told me a bold faced lie. He stated they ran out of corn and apologized for not telling me when I ordered. No problem..I get home and open my meal, and lo and behold, there is the corn they didn't have. It was buried under the pork. Kevin, you are a pathetic bold faced LIAR and a lazy ass! Sad that you can't even do fast food right! read more

Pollo Tropical - Really Pollo Tropical?!?! There's approx 1/2 tsp of sauce in each container. So damn cheap! - Fast Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

I saw several negative reviews for this location but we tried it tonight anyway and everything was great! I ordered the Churasco TropiChop with steak my hubby had the same and added black beans and corn. We got my daughter the chicken with the mac and cheese TropiChop. The fresh cooked chicken and steaks on the grill are visible from the counter and look and smell great. There are lots of topping options that you can eat there or use small containers and lids provided for to go orders. It was very busy at dinner time. The drive through was backed up so we went inside to order. The line went quickly and our order was just right and still warm when we arrived at home. They do have a rewards program at www.pollotropical.com/loyalty. We will definitely join it and be back again. read more

These people are so stingy with their sauces its ridiculous. If you dare ask for more they give you such a look of revulsion it's as if you ask for their first born. They need to bring the sauce bar back! read more

if I can give this location a zero I would the worst customer service ever. to be clear I Love pollo tropical so many issues with this location. first I order half chicken instead of them saying the didn't have anymore they gave me dried up charred chicken I took that one to the chin maybe I came too close to closing time. secondly on a different day I ordered a half chicken and the chicken breast was cut in half as if someone to a piece of the chicken breast. and lastly i place a family order on the app drove to pick it up and they refused to give me my food even after seeing the receipt with order number. im not sure what the reason for there animosity. they took my money in seconds via Apple Pay but would take 3-5 days to refund me. worst costumer service ever definitely would not be coming back here they should get a zero rating pollo need to invest in a better training system because at this point they Suck read more

Where do I start. The drive through line that reaches the road took about 45 to get through (with a closed inside store I really don't understand why it doesn't move at all). All the sauces are out of stock when you finally get to the front and the soda you received tastes like battery acid as they probably haven't thought to change it all day. Business is plain ran horribly. The employee who came outside to take orders was nice however. read more

Armani and Mike made this experience horrible! First time I came to this store and it will be the last time. I love going to Pollo Tropical but wanted to reach out to customer service that can take care of this situation so it does not happen again. First, when I arrive at the cashier the lady "Armani" was scratching her private parts under her shirt while I was standing in front of her with my family and she didn't cared to hide it. After she was done, she started taking my order like nothing happened, but as someone can relate is totally disgusting eating after someone did that in front of us. Second, whenever we were waiting for the food, the cashier got the order wrong and got another plate that we did not ordered. After they got the ordered good was fine; but of course they have to keep messing everything up. Third and last, the guy "Mike" who delivered the food to me was only wearing one plastic glove; the other hand had no plastic glove as he was using that hand to touch the food as well as touching the container. Just a bad experience overall, I wish people hire the right people for the jobs that is in front of the store as it is the image that shows to the clients. Love going to Pollo Tropical, I just wish it could be fix on time so things like this don't keep happening and the image of Pollo Tropical gets destroyed by people who doesn't care like "Armani" and "Mike". Thanks, read more

The service was excellent! The manager Arglay was amazing. In front for me was a extremely difficult disrespectful customer who was giving her a very hard time. Arglay mentioned her composure and continued to be respectful during the whole ordeal. I was so impressed with how she dealt with the terrible customer. When I finally got to place my order Arglay was so polite she even apologized for the previous customer's behavior. The service was outstanding!! My meal was very enjoyable. Everything was correct in the order. I would recommend this location. read more

Wish I could give this location 0 stars. The drive thru wait time is always ridiculously long even when there's just a few cars in line. The staff is always rude and provide no kind of "customer service". There is NEVER any sauces, don't even bother asking. The food quality is below average. Me and my wife have completely avoided this location even though it's right next door to our house. This place needs a complete revamp of their operations internally and also train their staff on how to treat their customers. read more

Best fast food ever invented (well, it ties with Chipotle) and priced at about $5-$10 a person depending on what you get. So why the three stars? Well, the service is horrific every time I go (and I got a few times a month), both the drive-through line and queue in store are always long, service is slow, they always mess up our order and then they give you attitude about it when you tell them that they messed up the order. Also, they took the tostones off their menu!!!! WhYYYYY?? Tostones are the bomb!!! Despite its service, it's the tastiest fast food you will ever eat! So what are my faves? 1.) Chicken quesadilla wrap - Melted cheese, seasoned to perfection chicken, tomatoes and their chicken quesadilla special sauce.... Make sure to get some extra special sauce for the wrap.. it's Ah-mazing! 2.) Tangy Pineapple Chick wrap - Also amazing but with a tangy island flavor that if you close your eyes and take a bit, it'll take you to the Bahamas! 3.) Tropi Chop - Love this bowl because I get to pick whatever toppings I want! Chicken, black beans, corn, onions, peppers, cheese...YUM!!! if you order this, I would suggest watching them prepare your food or don't leave the store without checking your order because they always mess up your customized order. 4.) Any of the chicken meals are wonderful. Either the 1/4 or the 1/2 chicken. I don't know what they season their chicken with but it makes it super succulent and juicy!! Also, the bread rolls that come on the side are so soft and delicious! 5.) Chicken Cesar Salad is wonderful and is a large portion as well! 6.) For sides you can't go wrong with the maduros (sweet plantains) waffle fries, or corn. If you are dining in, check out their condiment bar. There are tons of different tasty sauces to choose from and they have some veggies like chopped onions and jalapeños. Want to add a little excitement to your food, then try the Cilantro Garlic sauce.... trust me your taste buds will party like it's 1999. It's the best! read more

Pollo Tropical - All my pieces were like this. Ridiculous - Fast Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

I stopped here for dinner this evening and ordered the new steak platter, 2 chicken chops and a 1/2 chicken meal. Everything was great until I got my food from Kat. I asked her for Chimichurri sauce she told me they are out. I said ok, I would like to get something else. I got a look of disgust and she went to the manger. The manger told her there is some in the back and the employee replied "We have been asking for 2 days for some and showed her manger the empty container" You would of thought she was asked to do something that required heavy duty work. After 5 minutes she came back with a little bag and slammed it in my bag. No thank you no nothing. VERY RUDE!! She did not even fill up the empty container. If she does not like her job she should leave. There are many people out there looking for work and would happy to have her job. I will NOT be returning to this location. read more
