    Large Tropichop
    Sylvia G.

    Great quick meal! The chicken was tender and delicious. Service was great. I took out but the restaurant has a ton of seating. Priced very well and if you're going to get a sauce get the garlic cilantro. I got a large tropichop and i was full after and it was very flavorful. Recommend coming here but parking and getting off. The drive thru line gets long.

    Do I have to explain? Does this really look appetizing? This place ALWAYS forgets something about my order. What was it today you ask...? My beans. I am sad.

    Quarter chicken white meat...

    The food is always fresh when I go, because if not I send It back, every week it's a whole different crew working.. always get white meat.. always go drive~thru

    Just opened!

    I'm not sure what went wrong with the opening of this store. I have been here 4 times since they opened. They are always out of something. They dont have change, no lettuce , no rice. The staff always are nice, it's hard to do a good job when you dont have the necessities.

    Double line in drive thru still waiting.

    When they planned and built this new location, I'm not sure the company (or franchisee) was realistic with the prediction of the volume of customers they are facing now. This is the busiest and craziest fast food restaurant in Pinecrest. The wait is absurd. The drive thru line wraps around the building and I sit in park for the majority of the wait; even with the double line going. Grant it, I am here at peak time...7pm! I'll have to consider eating earlier or later? Before leaving with my order, they had to correct three mistakes and, to top it off, they ran out of dark meat and I had to settle for chicken breast. Could they be understaffed or maybe inexperienced employees? Not fun. I really do love their food. It's the closest to cuban food I can get closest to home in a fast food setting.

    Raw chicken cook with the same apron and gloves.... lets hope he changed when he went back inside.

    So we parked, walked in, and ordered for dine-in. At first everything was fine, we noticed some of the tables were closed off due to pandemic 6-ft rule which is great. We sat and our order was called rather quick, I picked up my tray and returned to my table then went back for our drinks; took about 5mins but not an issue. My real problem started when I continued to stand at the counter, drinks in hand waiting for someone to attend me with something as simple as 2 straws, mojo sauce and fresh salsa sauce... my first encounter was with the man who gave me my drinks, he said he only handles the delivery/pickup orders therefore he does not know where some of the items are located but he was very polite and apologized. I continued to wait at the counter for 15 more minutes in hopes someone could finally attend to me. During my 15mins of isolation I decided to stay silent and observe the kitchens cleanliness and jesus christ...... the man who was in charge of cooking and cutting the RAW CHICKEN has touched a multitude of kitchen appliances and touch screen displays around the kitchen and has not changed his apron once. Me and my mother have been sitting here for just a little over 40mins and have not even seen him change his gloves & raw chicken infested apron!!! He is also switching from station to station, prepping take out and dine-in containers and trays with the same gloves and throwing out the trash with yet again the same apron and gloves.... During such dire times like the pandemic THIS IS EXTREMELY CRITICAL.

    All that dark brown in the rice is stiff rice that is so hard you can't even bite into it !
    Josue G.

    Every time we order brown rice they give us inedible hard rice ! Possibly from days ago it's honestly awful !

    How do you serve this?!?! It's basically empty!!!!!
    Becky V.

    This is probably the worst Pollo Tropical in Miami!!!! What a shame because it could've done well in this area. The orders are ALWAYS wrong, they short change you on everything from chicken, to the sauces. It's a joke! Please look at the amount of sauce they gave me for my tropi chop! It's basically empty!!!! Not to mention that my large tropi chop consisted of all rice and barely any chicken!!!! Save your money and go to chicken kitchen or 3chefs!!! More bang for your buck!!!

    Clearly damaged lid was placed on the black beans.  A nice gooey mess was 'no charge.'

    This has got to be the worse pollo ever. The chicken is always burnt and the young ladies at the drive through window are never pleasant.

    From the moment we walked in, we could tell this place takes pride in what they do. The restaurant…read morewas spotless, and the manager greeted us with such kindness. He walked us through the menu, shared their most popular items, and really made us feel welcome. My husband and I like to try a little bit of everything, and he had his heart set on wings so we ordered the hot honey wings with a side of mac and a side of collard greens. He absolutely loved those wings. I was lucky to get even one bite because he cleaned the bones! The mac & cheese was also a big hit for him he wished he had more. The collard greens weren't his personal favorite, but I enjoyed them, and I know that can be more of an acquired taste. I ordered the fried conch with fries and a side of fried shrimp, plus the mystery drink because I was curious. The drink was delicious it reminded me of something sweet and fun you'd grab at the fair, so if you like sweeter drinks, I definitely recommend it. The conch was fried perfectly not overdone, no old oil tastes just crispy and really good. But the real star of the show was that lobster sauce. Pairing it with the fried conch and shrimp took the whole meal to another level. The shrimp were crunchy on the outside and tender inside, and everything just came together beautifully. I'm honestly still thinking about that lobster sauce and can't wait to come back for more. On top of the great food, the atmosphere was wonderful. Everyone was so friendly. We got to meet both the manager and the cook, and they genuinely cared about how we were enjoying our meal and if anything needed fixing which it didn't. Everything was perfect for us. We'll definitely be back soon. This place truly left a great impression on us.

    The 4 stars isn't for the flavor of the food or the service. The fried conch and fries were…read moredelicious. The wings (hot honey) were great. The young lady who took our order and the young man in the back were super friendly. Why the four stars? Please look at the picture of the size of the drum on the wings. I mean, who in the hell is buying the supplies? They need a better source for their wings. They are barely bigger than Cornish Hen wings. But they were great tasting. They gave us sauce for the conch and while the sauce was good, the conch and the fries were better with just the seasoning they used.
