Good food but incredibly they ran out of cooked chicken on two occasions when is was in drive thru. Another time they only had white me. Seems to be a little bit of this organization here, but the food is good. read more

Pollo Tropical - Fast Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

The food was amazing, but what really stood out was Kevin's great customer service & attention. I really recommend this location.

The place is ok..not as bad as other review. Just typical pollo tropical..better than some location I know

This is the WORST pollo tropical in all of Miami, don't ever go here!! Even though I'm being a hypocrite and go here in desperate times of the craving for chicken and rice since I stopped going to chipotle after the E. Coli breakout. It's across the street from where I live, and I enjoy pollo tropical's food but this store in particular, in this location, has the WORST parking lot, the WORST customer service, and has the most COMPLICATED drive thru. They didn't have my food ready by the time I arrived to the window, and I had to pull up and wait for them by the curb to come outside with my food. As I was waiting, a car in front of me backed up, didn't see my car, and hit my front bumper. So be careful in this parking lot! It is very tight and completely overcrowded ALL the time. read more

I ordered a vegan wrap online for the first time and I was excited to try it. I picked it up and when I got back to work it was a ceaser wrap It was my lunch break and I couldn't go back to the store. I am vegetarian and I couldnt even remove the chicken because there was still small pieces of chicken on the wrap. read more

Pollo Tropical - Supposedly a "vegan wrap" - Fast Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

Never in my life have I waited in line 30-40 minutes for fast food. While we were waiting in line a very nice employee told us that they had ran out of sauces which is fine. As soon as we get to the window they proceed to charge my card and afterwards tell us they ran out of chicken. So you're telling me you couldn't tell me you ran out of chicken before charging me $35 on a whole order that only contains chicken? The lady at the window told us they only had pork. Due to religious reasons my family can not eat pork. So we kindly asked if we can get our money refunded. I asked if we could get our money refunded and she told us we would be seeing the money the same night. Obviously that's not how refunds work but to tell my very hungry and dissatisfied family that we WOULD be getting our money back the same night is a blatant lie. We went back 2 days later and low and behold still not seeing the refund. Instead of giving us our money back right then and there they asked us to call customer support. I will not be returning to this poorly managed location and I will be telling friends and family to not return here either. What a sad joke. read more

Sunday evening, just place the order, but 11 parties in front of me waiting and only one guy attending the order. Everyone's face of exasperation says it all. This should be fun. The manager seriously needs to evaluate the assignments. Mean while several kids that work here are just walking around literally doing nothing. Management creates this type of culture by putting up with it. I had to give it one star. read more

What happened to Pollo tropical's food quality??? This used to be one of the better fast food options available, NOT ANYMORE. My father and I shared a 1/2 chicken meal from this location and I immediately got a stomach ache after eating this and my father threw up! I think it's more than a coincidence: two people eat the same thing and get sick immediately after? I'll let you decide...as for me, I'm not going back to this location - hey Pollo tropical management, if you're reading this...step up your game! I'm definitely not the only person in yelp that has given your restaurant bad reviews. Btw, it's the next day after eating your food and my stomach is still upset. read more

The customer service is the worst. We ordered three meals through drive thru, clearly said what we wanted and they kept asking is "that all? Is that it?" We are thinking okay they have it. We drive to the window and only gives us 2 meals. The two employees made it so hard to order the third thing because they wouldn't wanna listened to what we are ordering. I am never coming here ever again. read more

This has to be the worst PT I have ever ordered/eaten from by far. The inside is usually dirty and the chicken looks l anorexic. Most, if not all, employees here must be inept to some degree. Whatever you order, you are guaranteed to get the wrong thing or incomplete order, its happened on numerous occasions. So triple check your order before leaving!! PS: and dont ask for more than 1 mojo or u get the face of death, like its made of some liquid gold read more

I have to say I really like Pollo Tropical's food, specially the Tropi Chop but I have to say that this location has got to be one of the worst places. I go to it because it is close to work but not once have I gone through their drive through where they have gotten an order right...my co-workers have the same issue. It's not like I order a ton of things...one Tropi Chop and they can't get it right......soooooooo frustrating! read more

The Pollo tropical on 96 sw 137 ave Kendall I wanted to see if the pollo tropical franchise takes notice of the poor quality And flavor we are Accustomed to with any other location. I have given them the benefit of the doubt time and time again. And they always fail. 1. Chicken under cooked .2. The balsamic tomatoes made with regular vinegar 4. The black beans watered down I ordered from Uber eats tonight hoping they would bring it from another location When they got here so fast I realized they got it from there I was disappointed. To say the least the whole thing went to the trash. It disgusting. So I just wanted to say this to see if any one out there has had the same experience at this location And can help me get this out there. To see if the Pollo tropical franchise Takes notice and fixes this plz read more

Navigating this parking lot is terrible. The drive through experience is not good. The outdoor area is not pleasant to the eye. Order was accurate, but took a while. read more

The food is good, but the employee treatment is terrible. The manager is disrespectful to employees most of the time, even in front of costumer, they pay the minimum wage, and you have to do the work of two people. I believe the job is underpaid for the stress level and the amount of work. Wouldn't recommend working here. read more

Not sure how this Pollo tropical hasn't changed management. Both times that I have gone my food has not tasted bad to the point that I just throw it away. Chicken was a bit chewy and customer service was horrible. Definitely not going back. read more

The food is delicious at this pollo tropical. The drive through line is always quick and the staff are friendly despite other reviews.

Am I the only one that notices that when I come to Pollo and ask for sauces, I have to ask for 5-6 just so it could equal one actual container of sauce. It's not that hard to put a good amount of sauce! Food is good though. Would've been better with more sauce. read more

This Pollo Tropical location is atrocious. Service keeps getting worse. Recently went and had to wait 40 minutes at the drive thru. Forget about ever getting fast service there. After waiting and waiting and all the cars honking, the delivery truck shows up and starts unloading and going through the cars in the drive thru. The restaurant employee begins to take deliveries in through the door behind me and actually hits my car with the dolly full of boxes and then yells at me to pull up, when there was no room. I asked to speak to the manager, a man in his 50s, and he had no responses and agreed they couldn't handle the workload. The place also looks filthy. To top it off, the chicken was undercooked. Thanks a lot for wasting my time and money. Never going there again! read more

This location has hired young men that regularly curse at the drive thru window and generally don't take their jobs seriously... Honestly, it's such a bad experience in dealing with the employees here the any other drive thru us preferable, regardless of food quality... Customer service and minimal professionalism are gone at this place... Don't take your kids in the car to this place AVOID AT ALL COSTS... read more

Just never EVER go after 10pm, they won't have anything they should still have, and if they do have it be ready for it to be cold and stale. I ordered a pork sandwich combo and two chicken Cesar wraps, as you can tell I was starving after my 10hr shift hoping to enjoy some tasty Pollo tropical. But that was not the case at all, my wraps were Cesar but made like a quesadilla and my pork sandwich was ice cold and had that bad pork smell after microwaving. Worst 17$ I could've ever spent. read more

This location has let me down on multiple occasions by not having food in stock, the light in the drive-thru doesn't work. This specific location must be under new management or some thing because they used to be ran way better than it is now and it actually would have food I've even been here and they've ran out of chicken before it's ridiculous and the employees seem snob nose. This boy is taking orders outside because the kiosk is broken and while I'm thinking and getting my mask this boy says "for today" then i get my order all wrong and 2 out of the 3 items I ordered were out of stock. Now specifically on the yucca fries they didn't even put the yucca fries on my order that I asked for I had to turn around go back inside ask for the yucca fries then this guy says "Do you want a large or a small fries?" and I said I'll take a large because he was offering and then he just says they don't have yucca fries for TODAY that they only have cheese yuca for the WHOLE DAY of Wednesday without any cook or anyone saying "hey we don't have yucca fries" or anything. He just said it like like something registered in the back of his head & to be honest I think he just didn't want to give me fries. I just finished eating my sandwich and I didn't even eat all of it because this sandwich was pretty bad too it wasn't the sandwich that I asked for because mine was out of stock and they made it horribly they didn't even care; I can tell there was no love put into this. read more

They never have sauce. Can't count the times I have asked before making the long line if they have poyo poyo sauce only to be told they are out after paying for my food. read more

Two weeks in a row I come to eat and order the chicken soup. Twice they have not had spoons. How am I supposed to eat inside the restaurant a soup without a spoon. They said they had spoons and they did not read more

Cuban sandwich was a disaster. The contents were outside the bread. Only few potatoes stick. Taste was not even worth a star.

I work for a delivery service & got an order for this pollo tropical location. The app told me to go to the pick up rack and pick up the food if it is ready and will be placed there. The food wasn't on the rack so I went to the register to show them my order. The lady working there looked at it and ignored it. Then she continued doing other stuff and talking to the workers having a blast. I saw some of the workers just chilling in the back doing nothing. I waited there for around 30 minutes waiting on my order. They made everyone's else's order that came AFTER ME. They finished around 5 cars and still didn't do my order. I asked the lady again and she looked at it and ignored me. Then I saw the workers all finished with orders just talking and not doing my order. I complained to the manager at the time named Diana and she said that they were short on staff when I see the staff just chilling doing nothing! When I complained about this to her then she started making my order. I had to pick up the order around 20 minutes late because the workers there wanted to chill. I recommend never going there if you want fast service. I have a delivery job to do instead of watching lazy workers just chill there and not get my order ready! Horrible service from the manager! I tried calling the customer service number and they don't pick up! read more

Don't go. Long wait lines, apparently people like this place and I don't know why. The server was not friendly. I ordered a platter and she wouldn't let me substitute a side since I'm not a fan of plantains. I ordered my food to go and they forgot my side of guacamole. Food looks nothing like the picture. 2 small pieces of plantain (no big deal to me, but if someone likes them, what gives?). The beans are Ina small cup and it's mostly bean juice. I'm so disappointed in the quality of the food. Also, the drive-thru cashier was busy eating and drinking at the window while working. I believe a health inspector would not find this good.... read more

This place is ridiculous. After WEEKS, I contacted customer service to reimburse me after a terrible experience and not even getting all the food I ordered, and they expected me to show them receipt proof. Like I'm lying or something. This location is actually the worst and I had spoiled sauce that was completely inedible. I'm never going here again and I'm making sure my office doesn't order lunch from here anymore either. read more

The worst Pollo ever! The staff are super unprofessional and rude the food is horrible! Lack of service and lack of taste if there's negative rating you guys well deserve it... read more

Why do they even have a drive thru it always takes forever. Always atleast 15 minutes waiting for my food

I sometimes come to Pollo Tropical on my lunch break and for a fast food restaurant its not bad. They have on there menu a great variety of healthy food to choose from. I always get the chicken breast meal(which brings 2 chicken breast) that offers 2 sides u can choose from fries, rice, beans, or a side salad. There salads are not that bad as well they also have many different sauces 2 choose from for your salad or whatever you would like it for. My only complaint about this particular Pollo Tropical is that they always get there orders messed up. For instance the day i posted the pics i ordered a chicken quesadilla salad and they gave me a quarter chicken with white rice and black beans. THAT IS A NEGATIVE LOL!! Please guys make sure you check your order before driving off also a good tip is sometimes on the receipt they have a offer stating if you give your input on your order you can recieve a buy one get one free meal! ENJOY read more

See all

I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and a chicken Caesar wrap. Instead I got a quesadilla wrap and a nice big bug at the bottom of my salad. Don't get me wrong, salad was good. Just check the food prior to inhaling the damn thing!!!! (I screamed so loud. Gross!!) read more

Pollo Tropical - Fast Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place is a total disaster , should be closed down for good just went there at 7:12 pm and no chicken! YES OUT OF CHICKEN LIKE REALLY REALLY. I will be contacting corporate offices . read more

The worst Pollo Tropical in the world drive thru is really slow and comes out completely bland

This is the worst pollo tropical that exist in probably the world there service here is consistent and summed up in one word HORRIBLE!!! The staff here needs a rude awakening but apparently their corporate team doesn't care! I came here tonight and stayed in line for 25 mins and yes I timed it because they always make their customers wait and when you get to the window-every single person that has helped me always has an attitude. I stayed in line at 9pm and by the time I get to order at 9:25, they say they have run out of chicken and it will take 20 mins! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The name of the place has the word chicken in it how do you run out?!? The worst thing is they did not even have the audacity to send an employee out to tell their customers waiting that they have run out of chicken!! If you have a choice DO NOT GO HERE!! read more

Avoid this drive-thru at all cost! I've been in the drive through for about 20 mins one car away from getting my food. It always take super long in this drive thru to get food regardless of the hours. Other drive thrus take long during rush hour and I get that. Then the people at the drive thru have a terrible attitude like it's not hard to just give people their food with a smile. read more

This is the slowest and dirtiest Pollo Tropical I have ever seen. No manager in sight and employees worked at a zombie pace. One older latin female employee was cussing up a storm in Spanish as she cleaned the sauce station. Come here for lunch but expect to eat at dinnertime. Stay away from this place. read more

Honestly I'm not one to give a bunch of bad reviews unless I'm absolutely disappointed, and I give credit where credit is due. This location is terrible. I drove a few extra minutes because the one close to me was extremely full as always. I order my order receive it, when I checked my order was wrong and that's ok anyone can make a mistake what bothered me is that they were SO rude about it. Then I ask TWO times for sauce and they tell me it's in there.... check the bag it's not. Terrible service, terrible location all I have to say. read more

This place is super unorganized , corporate should do something and soon . DONT GO TO THIS PLACE , the pollo on 162 and 88 st gets busier and their service is much better. It's a shame , this location should be shutdown period. read more

I don't even know where to begin. The drive thru intercom is broken all the time. They get my orders wrong. It's as if they strive to make your order wrong. They always put make the meal itself incorrect and skimp you on the quantity. Not only is it this pollo tropical but also the one on 88th and 162, the one on miller and 139 and the one on 88th and 117 ace. The quality has diminished at all locations. Customer service is non existent. Pollo tropical needs a big time intervention to fix this on going issue at ALL its restaurants. read more

No idea why this place catches such a bad rap..I just finished my lunch and I have zero complaints. I ordered a chicken tropi chop with a side of fries yuca. I asked if I waited a few minutes could I have the yuca well done. They made it fresh. Everyone was working hard and there was an employee cleaning the sauce station. Food was still hot by the time I got back to my office and it was flavorful and tasty as usual with pollo tropical. Besides parking, I see nothing wrong with this location. read more
