    Quesadilla Wrap

    I love Pollo Tropical, specially the chicken quesadilla, but I was so disappointed when in the middle of my wrap I felt that huge thing. So sad

    I'm a pollo tropical fan. Love their black beans and chicken. This pollo tropical is always packed and i feel there is no love put in at this location. Salad had no flavor and chicken was a bit dry. Got to do better. I also saw one of the workers cleaning their rice station and wiping rice from the table into the rice that is being served to us. Not a good look.

    The sell this as Churrasco, and also taste terrible.

    The worst service and food ever. Don't stop at this place. They are selling you another type of meat as "Churrasco". They are scammers.

    What do you see there? CHICKEN topped Tostones. Right? You pay $7 for what you'd expect to be you meal... I got just tostones cheese and tomatoes... what in the actual hell is required to run orders in that kitchen? Check out the pictures. Terrible!!!

    I really like going to this Pollo Tropical location on 87th Avenue in Miami. Everything here is very well prepared and ready to go when you need it. They are very efficient at getting everything together even for larger orders. Great overall experience every time I have been here.

    I love their food, but their service stinks. You can ask for a side of salad and all you get is lettuce. But its good affordable fast food.

    Normally the parking lot is pretty packed during lunch hours so I decided to go on the drive thru this time.

    (2/5) -- Great concept, but this visit missed the mark…read more I really wanted to like this Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers location more than I did, because the concept is solid and, generally, Cane's food hits. But this visit? Frustrating from start to finish. First off, the setup is misleading. The inside looked empty, and even the drive-thru appeared manageable--until you actually commit. You have to drive deep into the parking lot just to see how long the line really is, and once you're in, there's no easy way out. So now you're stuck. Not ideal. Then comes the wait. About 10 minutes just to place an order, with aggressive drivers jockeying for position like it's a race. I get it--no one wants to sit in that line--but the flow (or lack of it) makes it worse. For a place with two lanes, the organization just isn't there. Service at the speaker? Rough. I felt rushed the entire time, struggled to hear over the noise, and kept getting hit with "I can't hear you, speak up" in a tone that felt more dismissive than helpful. No upsell, no real engagement--just hurry up and move along. To their credit, the pickup window redeemed things a little. Once I got there, the food was ready, and they even overdelivered on condiments (asked for two ketchups, got four). That part was efficient--but it came after a pretty long wait for only about seven cars ahead of me. Now, the food... This is where things really slipped. * The 4-piece tenders felt noticeably smaller--more like large nuggets than actual tenders * Fries were undercooked and skimpy for the price and I had to ask for ketchup * Sweet tea was mostly ice, barely any drink * Overall portions just didn't match the cost For a brand that usually delivers consistency, this felt off. Like corners were being cut. Final take: Started as a 3-star experience based on the process, but dropped to 2 stars once the food came into play. If I could split it, it'd be a 2.5--but Yelp doesn't do that. This place should be better. The foundation is there. But between the chaotic drive-thru, rushed service, and underwhelming portions, it's just not hitting right now. Hope they tighten things up--because Cane's can be really good when it's done right.

    Intriguing and well decorated inside…read more I don't get why people go crazy over their sauce. It's a combo of Maui, ketchup and a hint of BBQ sauce. I had the chicken sandwich which is really the chicken fingers on a bun with sauce and a slide of lettuce. It was decent. Not out of this world. For the caloric intake and the level of sodium in the food.... I won't be coming back for a while. It's been 3 days and I'll still bloated - LOL

If you don't know fritanga that's the best nica food ever. It's located in a shopping mall but at night it's pretty empty except for the restaurant. Came in and it was fairly busy. The service was quick. I ordered two empanadas and my son asked for a hot dog and pan de bono. I think I must of asked for an empanada that wasn't made cause it did take about 15 minutes to get my food. I know sounds fast but there were people getting the food in like five minutes so mine in particular "took long". They were nice though and it was well priced. The Colombian empanada was so good. I got the chicken one. The inside was soft and moist and the outside was crispy. I also got a cheese one which I always get. Also super good. My son ate his hot dog and pan in 5 seconds. He said the pan de bono was outstanding. I will be coming back here. The food was good and the service was quick.

I don't have anything to compare this to but I thought it was good but different than what I've had before. I'm sure locals are used to this but for me, as far as sandwich's go, it's a little unusual in that it has flattened steak that's been marinated with Mojo seasoning, and has onions and garlic mixed/pounded into the steak as well as super thin fries. Also the jugo de mango mixed with the blended ice was excellent. Highly recommend the jugos.

    Read a guide book on miami and you will be sent to Joe's stone crab or maybe Versailles for Cuban…read morefood. But if you are a native you are likely to recommend an only in miami experience like el Rey de las Fritas. Fritas are often described as a Cuban hamburger but that's like calling Mobi dick a fish. These are a typically mixture of ground beef and pork but with plenty of cumin, paprika and other spices. Usually fried with some onions and Always some sort of sauce is used in cooking. It should be served in Cuban bread roll but the best thing about it is the thin crispy fries that top it. Some places in town my used canned Fries but not here. I a cannot overate the importance of these fries or the fact these fritas are cooked to order and served piping hot . As to ambiance you get hole in the wall experience with counter seating only. The one on eighth street is bigger but both just have counters. I have had fritas at Cuban restaurants and none come close. The menus includes all sorts of Cuban sandwiches and steaks etc. all are some of the best in town but if you come here you have to have a frita. You also have to try one of the thick milkshakes or tropical juices. The mamey shake is as tasty as it is beautiful with its deep red tones. I often get the mango juice or the melon juice both bursting with flavors. The meal must (I'll say again must ) end with a cafecito or a cortadito. While Rey de las Fritas is not the first it has weathered like fine wine and it's now the best. You can also try mago de las fritas but their fritas are not as good to my taste. I don't often or ever see tourists here and that's a shame.
