    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?

    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

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

    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.

    Their new chicken noodle soup has no chicken or noodles in it just broth with a few carrots & celery Floating on top!

    a sign advertising two mojitos

    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

    I had been meaning to go here for a while, and we ended up going one night sort of randomly and…read moredidn't know what to expect. First of all, it's so beautiful inside. On the outside it's a little unassuming even though the plaza itself is nice, but the decor inside was elegant. Our server was really friendly. Unfortunately, she di forget to bring into our appetizer. But we even forgot until after we were eating dinner so we didn't say anything (and it turns out it wasn't on the check either). We went at around 8:30 pm on a Friday night and there were only a few other tables, it they're open until 3am so we assume it is more of a late night spot. We both thought the food was incredible though. I had salmon (which was cooked to perfection) and cilantro rice. I ordered vegetables (zucchini, tomatoes, and broccolini) which were also surprisingly tasty. My husband had the mofongo. It was just different from the typical Puerto Rican mofongo in that didn't come with sauce other than some garlic sauce, but the taste was still great. He also liked the chicken that came with it. We will def be returning here in the future!

The place was pretty empty on a Thursday afternoon like 2pm. I ordered the chicken lomo and lentil soup and wow. The waiter was also really welcoming. Inside the ambiance was nice, I am sure it would be a lively dinner spot too. The menu has a variety of Latin choices and it was hard for me to decide. I'll be back! I knocked off one star because for it not being so busy the service was a tad slow but his attitude was so great and I wasn't in a rush I didn't mind too much.

We went here this past Friday night with my wife's sister and our brother-in-law. I was surprised to be seated by the stage and the hockey rink, which was pretty cool. The service was excellent and the food delicious with large portions, making it an excellent value for the prices. I had the Arroz con pollo which seemed like a never ending serving because it is such a large portion. I ordered it with red beans on the side and mixed them in with the rice and chicken. My wife had the breaded chicken breast, which was 2 large, breaded breasts, served thin and took up almost the whole plate. I thought it was interesting that when the server brought out the appetizers, she brought the silverware wrapped in napkins and plates. Then before our meal was served, she gathered it all up and brought clean silverware and napkins again. It kept the table nice and cleared. We could not finish our huge servings and took the leftovers home with us. My sister-in-law had the salmon and my brother-in-law had the grilled Asada. Both were good sized portions. This place is definitely worth checking out for really good Colombian cuisine.

Recommendation: Reservations is a must if you want a table if don't mind staffing all night dancing you are good. Tables are reserved a two drink minimum. Gratuity is included. Although our server was phenomenal, we did tip our server an additional in cash just because of her great service. We highly recommend the place! Enjoy!
