    Tropichop chicken my wife already dug into
    Eddie H.

    Good value for the money. We love the cilantro sauce. Ordered the chicken tropichop bowl. It had a bunch of rice, beans, chicken and vegetables. My wife ordered fried bananas and were just average. Service was quick and they're well staffed. However I was sharing with my wife and needed another fork. I had to flag down someone to get one. They would not look at me to see why I was trying to make eye contact. The place is very clean.

    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.

    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.

The chicken was juicy with that signature smoky, citrus-marinated flavor that sets Campero apart from regular fast food. You could tell it was freshly grilled, not just reheated, and the seasoning had a nice balance of salt, pepper, and herbs. The sweet plantains were caramelized just right--soft on the inside, slightly crisp around the edges, and paired perfectly with the savory chicken. Portion size was generous for the price, and the service was quick and friendly. The food felt authentic and comforting, a good mix between Latin home-style cooking and casual dining. Overall, I'd highly recommend the grilled chicken combo if you want something flavorful but not greasy. It's a great choice for a quick, satisfying meal that still feels fresh and wholesome.

The coleslaw, plantains and the horchata drink were all very good too! The cashier was also very nice and accommodating. The ambience is very casual, as expected. If you don't have a lot of time before going to the airport (and want to avoid the steep airport pricing) or for lunch during work hours this is a place to go! I give this place 4.25 stars for a fast food place.

Our food came out relatively fast as it is a quick service restaurant but that's when it fell short as all of the food we ordered was lukewarm like you could tell it all had been sitting for a while as to the point of where it really lacked had this been hotter I'm sure it would have been better. The spicy chicken sandwich wasn't bad had it been hot I can see the flavors coming out more as it was a decent sized piece of chicken with some of the spicy sauce and some bread and butter pickles which I did find to be a surprise as not many places use those pickles on a chicken sandwich. My lady said her chicken pieces were also lukewarm and she said that had they been hot that they would have been significantly better as it fell the same way with the yuca fries as those too were lukewarm and just left her looking for warmer food. The empanada was probably the warmest item that we received it was ok as it had a decent flavor to it but it lacked a lot of chicken as it felt like it was mostly sauce which was definitely underwhelming at most. All of the employees we encountered were very friendly and busy working and cleaning and just seemed to be enjoying their shift which is definitely a plus as I know how it can get in a QSR environment. Even though this had nothing to do with the restaurant I do have to say that this random guy came in and was like arguing with the staff about using the restroom this is after he came over and took some paper towels from the employee's roll who was cleaning the windows kinda random but it was kinda amusing to watch them while we ate. One other thing I noticed here was that there was no trash can at all which I'm very much so not a fan of as I'm not for leaving my plates on the table for someone to clean it up at a fast food restaurant as that's something I prefer to do myself. Overall the food here definitely fell short as I'm not into getting lukewarm food a chicken sandwich should me piping hot when you first bite into it so it's for these reasons I highly doubt that I'll ever come back.
