    Large Tropichop
    Sylvia G.

    Great quick meal! The chicken was tender and delicious. Service was great. I took out but the restaurant has a ton of seating. Priced very well and if you're going to get a sauce get the garlic cilantro. I got a large tropichop and i was full after and it was very flavorful. Recommend coming here but parking and getting off. The drive thru line gets long.

    Do I have to explain? Does this really look appetizing? This place ALWAYS forgets something about my order. What was it today you ask...? My beans. I am sad.

    Quarter chicken white meat...

    The food is always fresh when I go, because if not I send It back, every week it's a whole different crew working.. always get white meat.. always go drive~thru

    Just opened!

    I'm not sure what went wrong with the opening of this store. I have been here 4 times since they opened. They are always out of something. They dont have change, no lettuce , no rice. The staff always are nice, it's hard to do a good job when you dont have the necessities.

    Double line in drive thru still waiting.

    When they planned and built this new location, I'm not sure the company (or franchisee) was realistic with the prediction of the volume of customers they are facing now. This is the busiest and craziest fast food restaurant in Pinecrest. The wait is absurd. The drive thru line wraps around the building and I sit in park for the majority of the wait; even with the double line going. Grant it, I am here at peak time...7pm! I'll have to consider eating earlier or later? Before leaving with my order, they had to correct three mistakes and, to top it off, they ran out of dark meat and I had to settle for chicken breast. Could they be understaffed or maybe inexperienced employees? Not fun. I really do love their food. It's the closest to cuban food I can get closest to home in a fast food setting.

    Raw chicken cook with the same apron and gloves.... lets hope he changed when he went back inside.

    So we parked, walked in, and ordered for dine-in. At first everything was fine, we noticed some of the tables were closed off due to pandemic 6-ft rule which is great. We sat and our order was called rather quick, I picked up my tray and returned to my table then went back for our drinks; took about 5mins but not an issue. My real problem started when I continued to stand at the counter, drinks in hand waiting for someone to attend me with something as simple as 2 straws, mojo sauce and fresh salsa sauce... my first encounter was with the man who gave me my drinks, he said he only handles the delivery/pickup orders therefore he does not know where some of the items are located but he was very polite and apologized. I continued to wait at the counter for 15 more minutes in hopes someone could finally attend to me. During my 15mins of isolation I decided to stay silent and observe the kitchens cleanliness and jesus christ...... the man who was in charge of cooking and cutting the RAW CHICKEN has touched a multitude of kitchen appliances and touch screen displays around the kitchen and has not changed his apron once. Me and my mother have been sitting here for just a little over 40mins and have not even seen him change his gloves & raw chicken infested apron!!! He is also switching from station to station, prepping take out and dine-in containers and trays with the same gloves and throwing out the trash with yet again the same apron and gloves.... During such dire times like the pandemic THIS IS EXTREMELY CRITICAL.

    All that dark brown in the rice is stiff rice that is so hard you can't even bite into it !
    Josue G.

    Every time we order brown rice they give us inedible hard rice ! Possibly from days ago it's honestly awful !

    How do you serve this?!?! It's basically empty!!!!!
    Becky V.

    This is probably the worst Pollo Tropical in Miami!!!! What a shame because it could've done well in this area. The orders are ALWAYS wrong, they short change you on everything from chicken, to the sauces. It's a joke! Please look at the amount of sauce they gave me for my tropi chop! It's basically empty!!!! Not to mention that my large tropi chop consisted of all rice and barely any chicken!!!! Save your money and go to chicken kitchen or 3chefs!!! More bang for your buck!!!

    Clearly damaged lid was placed on the black beans.  A nice gooey mess was 'no charge.'

    This has got to be the worse pollo ever. The chicken is always burnt and the young ladies at the drive through window are never pleasant.

    Yes the drive thru line is long, but you can literally order in advance or just go inside....

    I've been to El Rinconcito Cubano of Kendall several times over the years. They've been around…read moresince 1996, serving up traditional Cuban dishes like ropa vieja, lechón asado, and of course, their Cuban sandwich. Honestly, my past experiences there have always been pretty good, as the place was clean, the staff friendly, and the food consistently solid. That's why when dinnertime came around today, I didn't think twice about ordering from them. I had some friends over to watch the USMNT Gold Cup Final soccer match and I was really craving Cuban food. I placed an order through Uber Eats expecting the same quality I've come to know. The food actually arrived pretty quickly, in about 35 minutes, which was great. But as soon as I opened the container with my Cuban sandwich, I knew something was off. It wasn't pressed properly as you could tell right away someone had rushed making it. But the real disappointment? There were no condiments at all. No mustard, no pickles, no mayo... nothing. It just seemed like someone lightly buttered the bread, barely warmed it up, and sent it out. When I opened the sandwich, it was even worse there was hardly any ham or pork inside. Honestly, it looked sad. I was so disappointed, I ended up tossing it in the trash. I mean, it's one thing to mess up a random order, but this was a Cuban sandwich from a Cuban restaurant. That's the signature item. How do you get that wrong? The rest of the food was okay, not great, but edible, so at least my guests had something to eat. Still, I'm the one who chose the place and really wanted to enjoy my meal, and they completely missed the mark. I'm giving El Rinconcito Cubano of Kendall a one-star review based on tonight's experience. To be fair, I've had good meals here in the past, so I'd be open to giving them another shot down the road. If they step it back up, I'll happily update this review. But tonight? They really dropped the ball.

    What a great local Cuban restaurant with incredible service and very delicious food. Nice cozy…read moreplace. Feels like home. I really loved shrimps and make sure to try bunuelos for dessert.
