    Half chicken white meat well done Whole Chicken With 1 Side and Cuatro Leches
    Alejandro P.

    I was in South Florida when the first Pollo tropical (I'd ever been to) was opened so please believe it here's a special place in my heart for it. This one in particular had delicious food and excellent customer service. The place was super clean on the inside and smelled great, which is a smart way to set the mood before someone sits down to eat My order was taken with care and I'm stoked that when I asked for very well done I got very well done: sometimes you just wanna taste the authentic charred bits The food was exactly what I was looking for at a great price and to top it off. The restaurant is military and law-enforcement, friendly.

    Salad

    This was the first time I got the salad and I loved that it included the chipotle mayo sauce. I also loved the avocado, corn, and chicken. My only complaint is wishing that they would have included more chicken!!

    The food was delicious! I ate topped tostones ropa vieja. I enjoyed the pollo tropical #2. My family ate chicken with white rice and black beans and Maduros. The service was great. The ambiance was relaxed and salsa was playing in the background.

    It's like a chipotle place.. I did enjoy the options of sauces which they give out very generously! The spicy poyo poyo and the cilantro garlic ones were good! I got the bowl - rice, chicken, corn, onions, peppers. $15 with a drink. Was alright!

    This location is definitely better managed than other locations in Central Florida. Don't get me wrong, I'm still mad that they took away the sauce bar and the soda machines in the dining area. But...the food was decent. I ordered the Tropical Tri and it was not bad at all. Yes, the meats and beans could've used a bit more seasoning, but I was able to adjust the flavors whit salt and the sauces I ordered (Poyo Poyo and Cilantro Garlic are my favorites). The price of their food has skyrocketed, like many other food establishments, but at least it was good quality food and it will definitely fill you up. The staff was great, super friendly. There was always someone on the floor talking to customers, cleaning tables, etc. So this place was clean, unlike other locations I've visited.

    The pork TropiChop tasted a little salty, but was good otherwise. We tried the Shrimp Ceviche which had very little flavor and the sweet potato was frozen. They did refund the price due to poor product quality. They removed the beverage and sauce bar and now must request sauces and refills from the counter.

    Cheese Waffle Fries, Caramel Empanada Bites, and a Fried Chicken Rice Bowl w/ the works.

    Came here for lunch off the recommendation of a friend after landing in Orlando and had a pretty decent lunch. The rice bowl I had topped with fried chicken was pretty tasty as well as the cheese waffle fries, and I like that they have an array of sauces that are all good (the cilantro garlic was my fave). I could've left the empanada bites as they didn't have a lot of flavor, but I like to try everything I have my eye on when I eat at new places while I'm traveling. The guy taking our order was pretty friendly and patient with all my questions so that was a plus. The dining room could've used an extra staff member on clean up, but as I said, it was a pretty decent lunch. All in all, I'd pop in here again and try something else the next time I'm in Orlando.

    Sherry's Trini Flavors had me feeling like I accidentally stepped through a secret Caribbean…read morewormhole and landed somewhere between Port of Spain and a gas station parking lot in Florida. The giant NOW OPEN banner was flapping like it personally invited me, and the storefront painted in bold Trinidad flag colors looked ready to hand out citizenship papers with every order. I walked in thinking I'd grab a quick bite. Rookie mistake, one look at the doubles and suddenly I'm ordering five. Then I'm calling my aunt and cousin like it's a family emergency: "Allyuh want doubles? Because these looking SERIOUS." Next thing you know, I'm walking out with ten doubles like I'm catering a small festival. And let me tell you, these doubles? Soft bara, perfectly seasoned channa, pepper and tamarind sauce hugging everything like a warm Caribbean auntie. I've basically been on a doubles‑only diet since, and honestly, I feel spiritually aligned. I even ate one cold from the fridge and it still slapped. That's when you know it's real. Then there's the boneless curry chicken with buss‑up‑shut. Pure comfort. The kind of meal that makes you close your eyes after the first bite. The potatoes were soft enough to spread on a cracker, the channa was rich and earthy, and the chicken tasted like somebody's grandmother was in the back whispering, "Put a lil' more seasoning, nah." The buss‑up‑shut was fluffy, torn, and ready to scoop up every drop of curry like it had a mission. And the pepper sauce? Flavorful. Respectful. Not trying to fight me or send me to the ER. A rare and beautiful thing. The place is clean, the parking is plentiful, and the staff has real Trini accents that instantly make everything feel more authentic. Even the way they say "Next!" has rhythm. Next time, I'm calling ahead for dhal phourie, because clearly this place does not miss and I'm not risking it selling out. If you see me there again, mind your business! I'm probably ordering another ten doubles and living my best life.

    Since moving from New York to Florida, I've been on a serious mission trying to find good Trini…read morefood, because anybody who knows knows not every place serving roti is actually serving roti. I happened to find Sherry's Trini while I was in Orlando for an exam and decided to give it a try. I ordered the potato and channa roti with pepper sauce on the side. The potato and channa was yum, well-seasoned. The pepper sauce was everything I needed. Now for the roti itself. If you're accustomed to a good dhalpuri or buss up shut, this one might leave you wanting a little more. It wasn't bad, but it lacked that soft, delicate, flaky texture. The filling was carrying the meal more than the roti did. Overall though, I appreciated finally finding a place in Florida serving Trini food that actually tastes like somebody put some love into it. It's hard to come by down here. While the roti wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, the potato and channa definitely satisfied the craving and I'd still come back to get some other fixes.

    It's Easter Friday so I was craving carrot cake. This was place was a bonus to order from since…read morethey also offered regular food that I could get dinner with my dessert. Plus, they were on Uber Eats and I didn't feel like going out. Ordered my usual Jamaican dish - brown stew chicken with rice and peas and vegetables. Started out with the carrot cake - 10/10. Cake was moist, cream cheese icing was creamy and not too sweet, a good amount of carrots in the cake, a big portion sliced in half for sharing, and an affordable price. Brown stew chicken - 5/10. Ok flavor, but the chicken was kind of dry. I would have liked extra gravy but was unable to make that special request. Rice and peas - 10/10. Rice was good, nice hint of coconut milk, peas cooked perfectly. Veggies - 2/10. Bland AF. Everything except for the cabbage tastes like it came from a can. Plantain - 2/10. Bland, kinda dry. Would only order from here again for the carrot cake.

We also got the Pineapple Ginger Juice. The staff was friendly. I paid with a card so I was charged a 3% convenience fee which for our order totaled an additional $2. The wait for the food and drinks was short and we received all items in a reasonable time. The food was flavorful. The Saltfish is mixed with the Ackee and was minimal in portion size. The best item was the Fried Dumplings. They were fresh and cooked perfectly. The Pineapple Ginger Juice is a favorite. It's refreshing whether it's served bottled or from the fountain. The juice has a good balance of the pineapple and ginger flavors.

    Ordered jerk chicken off of DoorDash. I choose the sides plantains and fries (originally wanted…read morepotatoe salad but they were out ) . The food was good fries was seasoned but just slightly too salty for me . The chicken was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I do wish it came with more sauce/gravy so next time I will remember to request for extra. The food was excellent and the portions are worth the price. They did not mess up my order which was great. When I arrived to pick up my order, inside was full of tables set up for people to dine in and the person in the front greeted me with a warm smile. Definitely would return back .

    Wow these portions!…read more What Ofcourse I got the 2 signature meals. The jerk chicken and also the fried chicken with honey. The jerk chicken, I got with rice and peas, mixed veggies and cabbage. The cabbage was a little strange to me- not as I imagined from Jamaica steamed cabbage. The mixed veggies were also basic - like boiled frozen mixed veggies. The rice and peas were overall good but tasted a little on the hard side. The chicken though! This was the highlight - it was very flavorful, though I wish I would be able to have the sauce on the side.. For the fried chicken meal - the fried chicken was nice and hot. I got this to-go and was worried it would get soggy but it still tasted great when I got home. Environment This is located in a plaza tucked away near the corner. It seems to be a more takeout restaurant. There is some seats inside for your to enjoy the food. Since it is in a plaza, there is plenty of parking available, but in front of the restaurant could be a bit tricky. Niceness of the staff I would say she was not on the nice side. No one greeted me upon entering also they seemed preoccupied and did not once gave eye-contact. Definitely not friendly.. but nonetheless I got my food. Dollar It is like the bang for your buck. I ordered via UnderEats and there are deals, it was very reasonable as you get 2 leg quarters! Yes I would definitely order takeout again

The menu read great and we were excited to try this place since we love Jamaican Food. Was not easy to make a reservation - had to call Universal main line and choose from options. However, once we got a person, the reservation process was easy and pleasant. We informed the person taking the reservation that this was our first time visiting the restaurant so we expected a nice table - I assume they want repeat business. But instead we were seated right in front of the live band and it was so loud, we couldn't talk at all. The funny thing was that the restaurant was barely half full! Our waiter also had a tough time hearing us so we had to corret our orders a couple of times. They ran out of beef patties:-( that day. We decide to order some appetizers and a couple of entrees and shared. We had the Buffalo Soldier Jerk Wings - Had a nice spice to it and was quite delicious. We also hd the Jerk Caulifolower bites - a little sweet and spicy sauce and we all agreed this was the best dish we had! We had the Curried Goat stew - a weak curry and did not really have any spice to it. The Reggae Jamaican Jerk Chicken had a sweet spice and sticky sauce - next best dish we had. We also ordered the Coco bread- which was disappointing andd I do not recommend. It was just bread with some butter in it and definitely overpriced for what you got! Cocktails were rather weak. Server was just OK. He wasn't very attentive and did nothing to make our visit great.
