    Pollo tropical plastic fork
    Jesley C.

    **Rating: ** I usually enjoy eating at Pollo Tropical, but my recent dine-in experience was less than pleasant due to an issue with their utensils. I had two plastic forks during my meal, and both were defective in a way that they kept catching on my lip when I tried to use them. It was pretty frustrating, but things got worse when the second fork actually *cut* my lip as I was pulling it out after taking a bite. I'm not sure if this is something that happens to other customers, but it was definitely a painful and annoying distraction during my meal. The food, as always, was tasty, but the fork issue really left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope they take a look at the quality of their utensils moving forward. Would I return? Yes, but I'll definitely be extra cautious with the forks next time. Quiet ambiance due to it being 9 pm.

    Lazy staff, food mediocre at best, lazy social media manager too....."Best Regards, [Your Name]" ?!?!? Now we know why they are so lazy. That is the example that the staff has. CRAZY representation of the business. Literally what the heck? Take your business somewhere else.

    Boneless Chicken Breast
    Sabrina C.

    This location is dishonest and lazy. I usually go to Pollo Tropical for the chicken breast platter because it usually guarantees a decent portion--unlike the Tropichops, which are always light on chicken. But tonight was the final straw. We ordered 4 chicken breasts through the drive-thru. The attendant was polite and professional--no issue there. But once we pulled up, the manager (in a red shirt, so I'm assuming it was her) told us to park and wait for the food. A few minutes later, she came out and said they were out of whole breasts and offered pre-chopped chicken instead. She claimed it was the same amount, just cut up. That was a lie. We agreed--hesitantly--and they brought out 4 tiny cups of chopped chicken. Not only were the cups not full, but each one was barely half full--mostly air. We paid over $20 for this and were completely shortchanged. When we spoke to another associate to express that this wasn't equivalent to full chicken breasts, she brushed us off and said "that's the normal amount" and "breasts are small anyway." I've eaten here many times. I know what a full chicken breast looks like, and this wasn't it. Not even close. Again, bottom line: this was dishonest and lazy. Either serve full chicken breasts like customers ordered, ask them to wait the time honestly, or offer a real refund. Don't pass off scraps in a cup and try to gaslight customers like we don't know what we ordered. Pollo Tropical is NOT consistent. This location has lost my business, and I hope this serves as a warning to others: Never accept chopped chicken in place of whole breast. Either wait, or get your money back. Picture shown - all the cups look like this... disappointing.

    I was surprised that the drive thru was not busy with a line of cars. As soon as you drive thru there is an associate named Lejohn that took my order and he was very sweet. My mom was with me so she asked him for the senior discount which is 10%. He applied it to the order. I ordered a family meal dual with extra dark meat chicken. If you like dark meat you have to make sure to mention that you want your chicken to be dark meat and if they don't want to do it for you tell them that you will wait for it to be done. I also let the associate know that I do have the rewards app but he said for me to give him my number instead of scanning my QR code. I recommend to use the app everytime you order because once you earn enough points you can get $5 off on your next order. As soon as I drove up to the window the associate took got my order correctly. I even asked for forks and plates and he gave it to me. I liked how the chicken, rice and beans tasted but I don't like how the plantains taste. The plantains taste disgusting. The cilantro and the barbecue sauce were also super watery. Other than that this is usually my go to place to eat healthy food.

    Missing something important in that crispy chicken tropichop.. can you see it
    Nicole G.

    Service was okay, the food was fresh and punctual, however they seemed to miss a HUGE part in the chicken tropichop.. no chicken. So that's one meal out. No napkins or utensils, so atleast one person can eat with their hands with zero ways to clean themselves, Lol Honestly this is a 1 star but since they were nice, I figured 2 stars is as nice as I get. This location, typically has always slacked like no utensils, straws, napkins and missing sauces, or wrong add ons. This place is off of University drive and Atlantic Blvd, across the street from the mall. Next to Home Depot. In all honesty this was our last shot, good luck. I'd recommend Taco Bell even knowing the aftermath then going here. You've been warned, don't get mad if something missing, at this point expect it. Best of luck guys!

I ordered two of the chicken sandwiches with fries and got the vanilla shake with fruity pebbles. My favorite thing about the meal was the vanilla shake with the fruity pebbles. The vanilla ice cream wasn't too sweet and they just sit the fruity pebbles on top. I didn't mix them in. I just kind of grabbed some with every scoop. As for the chicken sandwich I got it hot, not thinking that it would be extremely hot, but it was. And it wasn't like it was a seasoned hot. It was kind of like they just put a whole bunch of Cayenne pepper. It had no flavor other than it being hot. I love crinkle fries, so I got them with the side of the cheese. That was the most watery cheese I've ever come across. It didn't even taste like cheese. If I ever do come back, it'll be just for the milkshake.

On paper, that sounds like something you order on a dare. In reality? Shockingly delicious. Like, "don't judge me, just try it" delicious. My wife went with the spicier buffalo version, and that one brought the heat without blowing out your sinuses. Also very good. Both chicken salads came on unreal, flaky croissants. I don't know where these croissants went to school, but they clearly graduated with honors. But then we hit the sides, and that's where things started to wobble a bit. I ordered the soup of the day. It came out ice cold. Not "could be warmer" cold. Ice cold. I sent it back, and it returned having clearly taken a quick, awkward spin in the microwave. That's not really the artisanal soup experience I was budgeting for. My pasta salad was fine but a little dry. Very average, very "this is here because it has to be." My wife had the broccoli salad with bacon, which was actually pretty good and did its job without complaint. Now for the app drama. It's been a while since I'd been here, so I tried adding my points and discovered I was no longer in the app. I asked the server how I could add today's visit, and her response was, "didn't train us on the app." That was it. No explanation, no help, no follow up. Not exactly the warm Southern hospitality vibe I was hoping for when I asked a pretty simple question. So here's the deal. The chicken salad is legit. The croissants are fantastic. But between the microwave soup, the very meh pasta salad, and the shrug-worthy service, there are some pretty big letdowns. Good food, but enough missteps to keep this at three stars. Worth a visit, just maybe manage your expectations and your soup temperature.

That craving led us to Huey Magoo's Chicken Tenders, and this time we walked out with something that absolutely hit the mark. Instead of going straight for the usual basket of tenders, I ordered the hand-battered buffalo chicken salad. Turns out that was a very good decision. The chicken was tender, crispy, and perfectly cooked. The salad came alive with the bold kick of buffalo sauce balanced nicely with blue cheese dressing. Every bite had that perfect mix of crunch, spice, and cool creamy contrast. My wife ordered the same salad but went with ranch dressing instead. Her only complaint was that hers leaned a little heavy on the sauce and brought more heat than she was bargaining for. Me? I thought the spice level was right where it should be.

Their honey mustard dipping sauce is a personal favorite. When I'm trying to keep things on the lighter side, I'll go for one of their fresh salads or swap the waffle fries for a fruit cup (though those fries are hard to resist!). I also appreciate that they offer grilled chicken options alongside the classic fried choices.

My favorites were definitely the Texas toast and the coleslaw. The toast was lightly crisp with a buttery garlic finish that made it easy to enjoy. The coleslaw was fresh with a nice crunch and well-balanced creamy without being overly tangy or sweet. The chicken itself was tender but fairly mild. It was okay on its own and really relies on the sauce to bring the flavor together. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, with self-serve fountain drinks and tea, and lemonade available at the counter.
