Pollo Tropical is one of my go-to spots whenever I'm in Florida. I wish we had one closer to home because I always make it a point to stop by when I'm in the area. This visit was a little hit or miss. My usual order is a half chicken, and while the flavor was there, the chicken was a bit dry this time. My daughter, however, loved her meal and finished everything. Sauces were a mix for me -- the pineapple rum sauce was delicious, and the guava BBQ is good but on the sweeter side. I tried the cilantro lime sauce based on a recommendation and personally wasn't a fan. I also tried their TropiChop-style bowl from another location (rice, beans, chicken, veggies), and it was decent but felt like it was missing something compared to what I expected. Dessert (cuatro leches cake) was okay -- tasty, but very little cake and mostly cream. Overall, still one of my favorites and I'll definitely be back. Even on an off day, it's a solid spot for flavorful food. read more

Pollo Tropical - 1/2 Fire Grilled Chicken - Latin American Near Me - W. Palm Beach, Florida

I have taken home many TropiChop meals over the past years. 3/18/26 the Chicken TropiChop meal was the best yet, every piece of chicken, green pepper, onion was cut precisely, it was appealing to my eyes and my pallet. The service was great and Manager David took time away from his work to spend time listening to my compliments. If you haven't been in for a while you'll be quite pleased. Good job to all the hard worker at the Okeechobee location read more

Very casual chicken place. I heard pollo tropical and this location used to be a lot better and more popular. The food was average. I like the fried yuca! It was inconvenient how we had to ask for what we needed instead of being provided or self serving. For example, there were no napkins out or provided so we had to ask the staff for napkins. You have to ask for sauces. We had to ask for plates since they didn't give enough. It's very inconvenient for a fast casual place. I wish these items were stocked at the counter instead of having to ask and wait. read more

I always try to give very thorough reviews on all the restaurants I try, just to be fair. So I decide to give Pollo Tropical another chance, since my last experience in Orlando was decent. And low and behold, they dropped the ball....again. I ordered the Tropical Trio with white rice and black beans. Pretty basic, right? Well, my food is delivered and voila!, no beans. I mean, people, come on! I'm done with them. No wonder so many of their locations are closing. read more

Pollo Tropical offers flavorful Caribbean‑inspired grilled chicken, solid sides like black beans and rice, and a casual, fast‑food vibe. Some locations shine with friendly staff, decent portion sizes, and that classic mojo‑pork or Tropichop meal hit, while others disappoint with order mix‑ups, wait times, or inconsistent food quality. If you go in with modest expectations, it's a decent go‑to for quick Latin‑flavored comfort food. read more

Needed a quick bite to eat and stopped through here. I'm not going to lie, I definitely didn't come in for what I actually got...I went in for their soup because honestly speaking....I'm addicted! The dish that I ended up getting was the Churrasco Tropichop. It was MUCH better than I thought it would be. Between the steak, rice, cheese tomatoes, and AVOCADO....I mean, it was definitely worth it. read more

Im usally not one to come on here to talk bad about a business. But no reason you should be treating people wrong because they're different. Yall lucky yall don't wear name tags because as an american who is fluent in spanish and english yall treated this poor man differently because he barely spoke english. Lucky am I to step in because I felt bad but not only was the cashier rude. And for the person handing out the food speak up and treat people with respect. 02/16/2025 08:25 pm read more

I ordered a large soup specifically because when I order a regular I NEVER actually get any chicken within the CHICKEN soup. Yet on a rainy day I'm sitting here again with a bowl full of yuca and juice! This is one of the worst locations, if they finally get your order right, the food is not worth the hassle. Tried this place one too many times and this was the last straw! Quality over convenience. read more

Do not go here! Food: 0/5 We ordered a chicken Caesar wrap and got a wrap with chicken, tomatoes, and American cheese we also ordered a Cuban sandwich and the pork was so overcooked and not edible. Service: you'll sit in the drive though for 30 minutes and in line in the store for 20 read more

Every single time i go to this pollo its the same freaking story the food is horrible the staff is horrible and the managers dont give a damn! I just orderd a crispy chicken tropichop and couldent even eat the chicken considering they only gave me 2 small ass pieces of chicken when normally I go to Pollo Tropical and they give me more than two pieces also i couldent even eat the chicken becuase is was undercooked and could make me sick this is so frustrating and disrespectful. Every time I go here I basically give them my money for free. Very very dissapointed i dint think i would ever recomend this pollo to anyone look at these pictures read more

Pollo Tropical - Thats how much chiken they gave me for my bowl of rise and beans. Oh and the chicken is hard as hell 10$ dollars down the drain once agein. - Latin American Near Me - W. Palm Beach, Florida

I LOVE Pollo Tropical! The food is delicious, inexpensive and much of it is relatively healthy. Recently, they added a loyalty program allowing patrons to earn rewards for their purchases. As a new member, I received a coupon for a free small tropichop. I visited this afternoon to redeem it because I was ravenous and needed fuel for the gym. I opted for a create your own tropichop and designed it with 1/2 brown lettuce and lettuce, grilled chicken, black beans, corn and tomatoes. I graced the top with a small amount Curry mustard. The ingredients were very fresh and my lunch tasted superb. The cashier was friendly and the condiment bar was well organized. The floors, tables and window sills could've been cleaner which is the reason I'm providing a 4 star rating verses 5 stars. read more

Prices are ridiculous. I ordered a small soda which was 3.49, the syrup ran out so they offered me another drink in which I replied with "I'll just take a bottled water" expecting the change in the difference in price the gentleman said this water is actually 3.69! For PURE LIFE!!! I mean I'd understand if it were a Fiji but they're price gouging dollar store water. Do better Pollo Tropical. read more

Service was bad did not listen to us when we were there and js were rude to us when we were there

I'm so disappointed that every time I got to Pollo Tropical, mo matter the time. I order the same thing every time. Grilled 1/2 chicken with two sides is so dry you about chock on it. I would rather wait a little longer to get my freshly cooked chicken than get get over cooked chicken a bit faster. Please step it up. I know you can do better. Have a good night. read more

Really bad service. NEVER COMING BACK. They told me there was an hour wait for the chicken and i had to stay in line even though i didn't order because there was people behind me and i couldn't get out of the line. read more

I waited in the drive-thru line for 30 minutes. The waitstaff wasn't wearing any uniforms, just Street clothes, without even an apron on (disgusting). A "1/4 chicken" was a thigh and a wing, and was very dry. I have heard great things about this chain restaurant but in my opinion this location needs to be shut down. read more

Had to give it one star to publish this. My son gets Tropi-chop there sometimes. I had a terrible experience a few years ago at Pollo . Had a chicken dinner and was so sick with v&d. I went to the doctor the next day bc I was so dehydrated from it, he was going to put me in the hospital. I went back and got my money back - lost day of work and doctor's bill - didn't even begin to cover my losses. Last night, my son talked me into trying it again. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. Thought they couldn't ruin that. The bun looked like plastic and there was a dried out, over grilled small piece of chicken with melted cheese on it. Totally inedible. I had to toss it for fear of repeating my previous experience there. Never again for me. How can a restaurant with the name pollo (chicken) in it - screw up the chicken. Emailed the company last night. Keep your receipts in case you get sick! read more

The Pollo tropical in Jupiter is fantastic. The staff is nice and efficient the place is clean. I've been to some other ones that I regretted but this place by far is above and beyond. Love the plantains and there different sauces... The food was ready when I showed up and just as I had ordered it Worth the trip read more

BEWARE This location has become sketchier and sketchier in the past year. Employees are indifferent to customers and rude to each other. I had to repeatedly ask for sauces that were initially requested when I ordered my takeout meal. Lastly, and I blame myself for this, I was cheated out of $2.00 change. I didn't notice until I was already home. read more

Literally the worst PolloTropical location I've ever been to. Went there three times so far and ALL three times my order was wrong! Also they always give me issues with trying to fix it! I've worked in the fast food industry to I never try to be problematic but the workers are rude and take no pride in their work or work space. The food is always just thrown together or just randomly selected. For example if you order ANYTHING with avocado slices they just throw the damn thing on there they don't cut it or anything and one time they even threw the damn pit in my food. Literally don't even want the food no more. read more

Pollo Tropical - Uncut Avocado and grill chicken instead Cilantro TropiChop - Crispy - Latin American Near Me - W. Palm Beach, Florida

I ordered ubereats pickup and got less than I paid for both in service and order accuracy. I have never had Pollo Tropical before and probably won't again unless I'm in a pinch for food. I get that it's fast food. But that doesn't mean they have to be rude. It was late and the inside of the restaurant looked closed, so I went to the drive thru window and told them I was there to pickup my ubereats. They said "drivers have to go inside to pick up". No problem. I clarified that I'm not the driver, I'm the customer - I ordered pickup to avoid the $10 in delivery BS. The person was still snappy with me and said "all pickup orders go inside, it's always been that way" to which I curtly replied "I've never been here before, it's 10:30 PM, I figured you could just hand it to me but okay, I'll park". I parked and went inside and was handed my food. I wouldn't even be writing this review if not for the missing jalapeño and terrible avocado quality. The avocado half is clearly the kind that is peeled, sliced, and shrink wrapped. It also cost $3. I can get better, fresh avocado at any number of restaurants for about the same price. A fresh avocado costs a restaurant about $.50 plus storage and 15% breakage. Call it $0.55. This avocado must cost less because it has a longer shelf life as it is shrink wrapped. It was also dense and chewy, and it was advertised as sliced but served as one piece. I'd happily pay $1.50 for shrink wrapped, unsliced avocado, but not $3! The margin there is huge and again, the quality does not justify the price. My mistake for assuming it would be fresh! I doubt anyone will read this and I usually make fun of people who review chain restaurants as the experience is solely subject of the quality of the employees, who are often replaced regularly by the corporate overlords, but I guess the rudeness and bad avocado put me in a mood. read more

Took close to 40 min to get my small order of a sandwich and a platter with 12 people standing in the kitchen when the food was promised 15 min after I ordered it's a shame to have so many people standing around doing nothing read more

Talking about poor service, this POLLO Tropical Location needs to be under better supervision. The cashier called a person stupid in the manager's eyes just because the person was unable to communicate in English.. The manager response was that he will deal with the cashier later. From the distance people were able to see the way the servers were handling food it was disgusting, rice spilling and beans out from their containers. This is to be a franchise and operate in the same way as other locations. My order of Whole Marinated Citrus Chicken was cut of. There were missing pieces and they are charging people as it was a whole chicken. They are stealing from costumers in that aspect! read more

This is 4th time me putting a review on this restaurant food chain I don't know what's been happening the last few years but I remember it used to have a friendly service but now all I get is rude and disrespectful crew attitude don't know if is the leadership skills or something else but something needs to be done I do understand the times we are facing in our communities and the country after the pandemic also the fact the staff is short in most places but that's how the customer service industry is always full of challenges I work in costumer service I get it but I also acknowledge the fact that being able to have a nice attitude will change your day , there was a cashier name Nathaniel that kept making rude comments while taking my order I was appalled by his attitude and lack of respect to his service and his customers the last thing a customer needs a bad attitude before a meal read more

Portions are ridiculously small. Service wasn't good at all - they made me park for 15 minutes for a quesadilla wrap

OMG !!!!!!!! I have never in my life seen such a disorganized mess !!!! Waited 25 mins for a tropichop !!!! There are at least 25 people standing around waiting for their orders !!!! Avoid this location !!!! read more

This has to be the worst run fast/quick casual restaurant in all of South Florida. They can not get the food out of the kitchen. There must have been 20 customers inside waiting for orders. Some complaining they had been waiting 45 minutes. My 1/2 chicken dinner with rice and beans took 20 minutes to receive after the order was placed. I could see the cooked chicken ready to go but the staff in not capable of efficiently expediting customer orders to get them out the door. Because the chicken sits rather than served soon after cooking it becomes dry, especially the white meat. The staff offers no apology for the delay or a thank you when you placed your order. When you have more than 10 customers waiting for orders all hands should be on deck to get the food out. Managment: Check your ticket times, this location is a disaster. read more

I was in a hurry so just wanted to order a Cuban Sandwich and went through the drive thru. After making it to the window it took another 8 to 10 minutes.

Should have at least apologized! read more
