    Are masks optional in the food prep area?......
    Gabriel R.

    Hit or miss chicken quality... Sometimes just right and sometimes Sahara dry!! And the lines through the drive thru...oh boy!! During these times, shouldn't the people wear masks in the food prep area?

    Wow you guys really made sure I was not getting my protein today.

    So I went to the drive through ordered a 1/4 chicken mojo pork duo. They forgot my lemonade so I had to make a u turn and get my drink. Came home opened it up to a box with only my chicken no pork these idiots in the pollo tropical on 88th have been incompetent for years filled with complaints and bad service. Y'all need to shape the F**K up in there cause management is clearly eating S**T

    This place doesn't even deserve one star. Has anyone else noticed how gross and filthy the food line is. I can't believe that the food is prepared in such dirty environment. Unacceptable. There are too many employees walking around in circles lost in space, unorganized, no coordination, bad attitude. These employees are handling food with the same gloves they are handing the garbage. Disgusting and unacceptable. After ordering the food, I couldn't eat it. Will never visit this location again. I hope an inspector walks in and sees this mess soon before somebody gets sick.

    If I could give no stars I would. This place use to be way better, no it sucks. They barely give in anything you order. The service has no hospitality. All the workers no exception are awful. I will never come again.

    Good customer service, only thing that could be improved is offering more chicken on actual tropichop I feel like they put very little and fill it up with rice and beans mainly. Prices are in the middle range. A meal would probably be $7-13 with taxes. They do offer $2 mojitos and white claw cans for I believe it was $2.75 each.

    Two fried chicken Cuban sandwiches. Not what I ordered at all (not even close)
    Gabriel Q.

    Total disappointment. Ordered Uber Eats - large tropichop for my daughter, a soup and 2-for-1 Cuban Sandwiches for me. Soup was too salty to eat. Worse, BOTH sandwiches were wrong- breaded fried chicken sandwiches instead. After a 45 minute wait for delivery, no time to go and change it out. EXTREMELY disappointed and will definitely share this experience with others. This was an opportunity for this location to do right by a customer that had been disappointed previously; definitely failed to deliver again!!! By the way, Uber Eats driver Michael did a great job in spite of the restaurant's failures. (FYI: I called to report situation: asked to speak with manager on duty. Lady who responded said "Coño" as I was put on hold, then disconnected moments later. Wow).

    looks like somebody's leftovers this is what I received disgusting

Fast service here is an option at best. I mean, I gotta admit most customer service in restaurants across the United States SUCKS.

My husband had a classic. The food was subpar. The dish was barely warm. The chicken was bland and the black beans tasted as if they came from a can and no seasonings. The rice was mushy. I ordered the sweet platanos and it tasted of dirty oil. It was only 12:15 so I can't believe the food would taste so horrible. Lastly, there were tons of flies swarming around the restaurant. I threw out most of my plate and still left feeling gross and nauseous. This is not the same chicken that I remembered.

Came by quickly to get a grilled wrap and fries (not pictured). Their fries NEVER fail. They're always so thick and salty. The grilled wrap was good and I paired it with light balsamic dressing for fewer calories. Will definitely continue to pass by when I need a quick lunch!
