Hours and now hiring
Shula R.

Located on the corner of Flamingo and Griffin Rd, this Pollo Tropical is tucked away behind the CVS. Ordered in the mobile app and arrived on time to get my order. While they have a section for mobile orders, my order wasn't there. The cashier was taking an order but it wasn't taking quite a while. I saw a box packed up and was pretty sure it was my order sitting there waiting to be bagged up. I told the cashier I was picking up a mobile order and she said just a minute. Another 3-4 mins pass and she's still helping the same person. Eventually she looks at the box and realizes it's mine, puts in a bag and gives to me. Beans and rice were tasty. Dark meat chicken was good and breast meat was a little dry in some areas. Was it worth $12, I'm not certain. Pollo isn't what it used to be

Less than half the standard serving of chicken.

When I pulled up to the drive through and placed my order for a half chicken (dark meat) platter with brown rice and corn, I was informed that they had "ran out of chicken." The employee then stated that I could get the Classic TropiChop with the brown rice and corn that I had asked for previously. After pulling up and paying, I was informed that they had ran out of corn too as I was handled my chicken and brown rice meal. I was so upset when I got home to eat and noticed that I did not have the proper portion of chicken normally served for this meal. Why would you take my money and sell me rice with a sprinkle of chicken?! I tried calling the store and can't get to speak with a person.

Wrong order and no receipt

They messed up my order and they didn't give me a receipt to confirm what they charged. So I ordered a large tropi chop with white rice, black beans and chicken and a small choppy, chopped vegetarian with white rice, black beans, and only corn. Instead, I got a small tropi chop white rice, black beans, and chicken and a small vegetarian one with everything on it.

This is the chicken portion they placed in this tropichop.

Why anyone would visit this location is beyond me. The ratings are 100% accurate and the employees and manager should be ashamed of themselves. 4 pieces of chicken breast in the tropichop. AVOID AT ALL COST

I wish I could leave NEGATIVE reviews. Don't even both sending a "customer appreciation" coupon! Pollo Tropical is a PURE waste of money! Never again will I waste another dollar here. I recently received three customer appreciation coupons for $5 off, thinking I can use them all in one shot which your seem realistic considering every time I visit I spend $30. I tried and was told I couldn't use them! RIDICULOUS! Why send those?!!! Are you kidding? To top it off, this is how my meals came!! I am LIVID at the service! This is disgusting! Mind you, I did NOT remove the cap from the beans... they came WITHOUT CAPS! They were everywhere and ALL OVER THE BAG! My advice? Save your money and visit LA GRANJA FOR QUALITY CHICKEN AND SERVICE. Save yourself the time and energy. Clearly, Pollo Tropical is incompetent and low quality.

Burned chicken, cold beans, and plastic rice

Where is the negative one star? Please refer to the photos. I do not believe a paragraph is needed to explain the quality of the food. I cannot believe they had the audacity to serve those "wraps" to any customer. I ordered on the app, arrived as indicated on the app, and still waited 35 minutes for the food shown. Customer service also terrible. I heard team members say they did not have any side dishes outside of black beans and rice. When I received my order and asked what about the side dishes I ordered that they did not have, they tried playing off that they had put it in the bag. I had to un-bag everything for them to see that they did not give me the sides I paid for. When I asked for alternatives, they informed me they only had black beans and rice. I asked for a refund and they wrote on a blank piece of paper that they owed me three sides because they could not give me a monetary refund. Who would ever go back to this location? Horrific experience.

Tropichop minus churrasco, beans and tomato.

Staff is extremely rude. Especially Lillian, we get it works long but you don't need to take it out…read moreon customers. I feel bad for the people working for her. Almost forgot to mention how this is the slowest place I've been to. Order was supposed to be ready 20 minutes ago. Absolutely terrible

As far as Burger King's go, this location is pretty much what you expect from a fast food chain…read more Since it's close by I typically go here & usually have no issues with my order. When I ask for modifications to my meal, it comes like it should. The employees are generally friendly but I've had a few times where they don't have the best attitude; luckily that's not the common trend though. This BK has recently remodeled their restaurant & from what I can see it looks very well kept. The inside is usually clean but that's something I hope for since it isn't THAT busy of a location. I recently got the Ghost Pepper Whopper they released for the Halloween season & honestly really enjoyed it! It was advertised as a Whopper topped with Ghost Pepper cheese, spicy queso sauce, crispy jalapeños & bacon, all within orange-colored buns & I'd say they definitely nailed it with this one. It had that flame grilled taste of a regular Whopper but packed a good punch with the spice. It wasn't too overpowering but you could feel the heat after a couple bites, I needed a French fry or sip of my frozen Coke in between. The crispy jalapeños gave it a nice texture that you usually don't get with a regular Whopper & the bacon was surprisingly thick/flavorful. I also really enjoyed the taste of the spicy queso. Unfortunately it was only for limited time but I hope they bring something similar back next year.

Ok. They will be the reason KFC will lose their customers. I can only say about one item. SPICY…read more CHICKEN ITS SO GOOD. Once you get it from here, you will never step into a any other chicken place ever

We came to this place on the recommendation of a couple friends that we met while on a cruise in…read moreMiami we do not have these in Indiana so I'm always looking for a good chicken place to check out and this place did not disappoint Upon walking in, we opted to order on the kiosk so we could take our time ordering and decide what we wanted. When I first went in. I was a little skeptical however, the dining room and restrooms both were extremely clean and everyone that we encountered was really nice. It wasn't your typical fast food establishment. I opted to try the two piece spicy chicken with the Palabok fiesta which is something I had never had before, so I wanted to give it a try. The chicken was super crunchy and juicy and packed full of spicy nuts and flavor. The palabok was actually really delicious. I definitely never had anything like that before and I'm actually not even sure how to describe it but it was worth a try and it definitely has a little bit of an Indian flair to. It is about the best way I can describe it. I do know that it is Filipino food. My hubby opted for the two piece spicy chicken with the jollie spaghetti which is definitely not a combination that I would typically think of however, the spaghetti was flavorful. It had a little bit of a sweetness to it and somehow oddly paired well with the fried chicken I would absolutely come back here again, the mashed potatoes and gravy, however was just OK. I don't think I would order that again but if you're in the area, I'm most definitely recommend checking them out. And of course, we had to get our picture with the bee
