    2 breast meal
    Karina L.

    Went by to get some dinner got 2 breast meals with double salad and this is what they gave me 2 small breasts the size of the bread cold, hard and dry terrible! Do not recommend going to this place ! Terrible I can make better chicken myself $22 for 2 meals my child can make better than them. 0 stars employees can care less about your food

    Slop Sandwich
    Candie S.

    This is the garbage, the slop you get at Pollo Tropical, the manager should be fired as well as staff. The franchisor should lose his/her franchise. How does Pollo Tropical corporate ignore the multiple bad reviews and allow this slop to be served. I wouldnt feed this to a dog! Gave them a second shot, the order was wrong had to go back. No english no service no quality checks in place. Very dumb people working there but they want $15 an hour. No thanks.

    Burnt edges on crispy chicken, bottom was worse
    Leonor D.

    This is the worst Pollo I've ever been to, hands down. I've gone multiple times and every time I've had bad experiences, so this will be the last time. When we got there the line was so long that I felt like something was going on, but we were pretty hungry so we decided to wait rather than drive around looking for somewhere else. Pretty much everyone in front of us was told to park or left, the line was super slow and it about 30 minutes to get our food, which I could have understood if they weren't also screwing up every order they were making. There were three people at the front door with their orders getting them fixed, and at least one person who had to also go with the receipt because they charged them incorrectly. My partner parked and after waiting for a while, had to go up to the front door to even get our food. The chicken was close enough to burnt that it tasted like it, on top of the fact that the cheesy yuca bites were fried in the oddest way I've ever seen. I don't like leaving bad reviews especially because it's a fast food place, food service gets crazy and people work hard. It's been enough times though that something like this has happened that it's worth it to leave the review to deter people from going to this location and experiencing this. I can 100% say every time we've gone here it's been like this. If you like Pollo, go to another one. This one isn't worth the hassle. I hope it doesn't stay that way but I'm not gonna take the chance to see if it improves.

    Recently went to "El Novillo" restaurant for a 25 year anniversary celebration…read more It was a group of about 25 of us and it was spacious in the seating and table arrangement for all of us to feel comfortable and not cramped up together. It was on a Friday night and they had live music playing with was nice for the occasion. With our pre-selected menu, we ordered a glass of Cabernet, their house salad (very vinegary!!! A tad bit too much in my personal opinion), and for entree the 8 oz baby tenderloin churrasco. (Shout out to one of our waiters! I didn't catch her name but she was honest with the menu recommendations and advised us to order the baby tenderloin churrasco which was a hit!). The mariquitas kept on coming around the table and we were stuffed. Another perk was how fast the service was. Even with our large group, we barely waited in between courses. If you want good Hispanic food on the fly, this is your place.

Though they have a preset menu for corporate type events, our boss was generous enough to let us select off the open menu. The decor is made to look like the inside of a hacienda with the tile roofs and stucco columns (yes you tell I'm a structural engineer :) The music was mostly 80s ballads, and service was very attentive. They even brought one of the desserts with a candle for a colleague's birthday, and took our group's photo. We started with a couple of baskets of buttered herbed Cuban bread and dipping chimichurri, as well as an appetizer sampler including refried beans, fried cheese and tequenos. The fried cheese was served on a little piece of pita bread and is a must try. I also enjoyed the refried bean soup, especially when dipped with plantain chips. As far as my main course, everyone knows how much I love cows! I enjoyed a sizable piece of churrasco, juicy even at medium well, sweet plantains and moros (here they serve it with red beans instead of black beans) and crispy house-made plantain chips. The Tres leches was also very fluffy, with a lot of cream and perfect enough to send me to a nice little after lunch nap. I also washed it down with Cortadito.

My order was a pretty good size came delivered at a good temperature.

On other occasions I have eaten the white rice and let me tell you it's moist... even my daughter ( whom is a picky teenager...that loves Cuban food) said " that's some good rice!" The grilled chicken is savory seasoned but not overly. It's like nice juicy flavor but not too over powering. The meal is was perfect to share or split in between two meals or even just indulge it all in one searing! You will be satisfied for hours and for good reason too! .
