01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located in the vibrant heart of Kissimmee, FL, Pollo Tropical offers a delightful escape into the world of Cuban and Caribbean-inspired chicken cuisine. This restaurant is a haven for those longing for bold, authentic flavors that marry traditional Cuban recipes with a modern twist. The menu is an enticing showcase of family-style portions and individual delights, perfect for sharing or savoring solo.

One cannot visit Pollo Tropical without trying their signature Original Family Meal, featuring a succulent whole chicken paired with fluffy white rice, hearty black beans, and soft, warm rolls. The chicken is lovingly roasted, boasting a golden skin that crackles delightfully with every bite, while the tender meat soaked in citrusy mojo marinade dances on your palate.

For sandwich lovers, the BBQ Pork Sandwich is a standout. This masterpiece combines succulent mojo roasted pork, laced with smoky barbecue sauce, all nestled within a buttery brioche bun. Equally irresistible is the Grilled Chipotle Chicken Sandwich, where juicy chicken is enhanced by a smoky, spicy chipotle mayo, complemented with fresh pickles and crisp lettuce, creating layers of flavor and texture.

Pollo Tropical’s beverage selection is designed to refresh and complement the vibrant tastes of their food. The Strawberry Lemonade is a tantalizing balance of sweet strawberries and tangy lemonade, perfect for balancing the robust flavors of Cuban spices. For a tropical twist, the Mango Tropichiller® offers a luscious, fruity chill, refreshing and energizing.

Customers appreciate Pollo Tropical for its casual, welcoming atmosphere where family meals are celebrated. Though some reviews note the pace can be unhurried and the interior sometimes a little less polished, the staff's friendliness and attentiveness often turn the experience into a warm, communal dining occasion. The food, often praised for its authenticity and zest, shines brightest here—each dish inviting you to explore the rich heritage of Cuban flavors through well-prepared, lovingly crafted meals.

If you find yourself wandering Kissimmee craving a meal that's both comforting and exciting, Pollo Tropical beckons with its island-inspired promise: hearty portions, vibrant spices, and a true taste of the Caribbean spirit.

First time we visited was a bit of a mess, this time was better, the place always looks like no one is in a hurry and or short handed. Had a better experience with the food this time around, tried the chicken Cuban and it tasted better than what the picture gives it credit. The sauces are pretty tasty too

I went on Wednesday the third and it was such a lovely experience, the young lady Jexi at the drive-in helped me and my husband with questions and the food was very well made. -V

We tried quite a few different items since we don’t have this place in California. The food was good. Chicken was a little dry but I’d have to go back again to make sure that it’s not just a one off situation. The Mojo Pork was very goods. The staff were all very helpful. The interior was a little dirty. Overall I liked the food and I’d go back to give a few more things a try.

I have never heard of the place and will probably never go back because I live out of town. BUT if I lived near by I would go there weekly. It's not cheap and a little more than Chick-fil-A but we'll worth it.

Food is very good at this Pollo. Ordered twice and neat, hot and tasty. Only thing I would say could use improvement is the lobby. It gets so busy that tables are always left a mess. Need to have someone consistently and constantly cleaning to make sure guests coming in can find a clean table. Otherwise, delicious food.

Haven't been to a pollo tropical in over a decade, and it was better than I remembered! Food was hot, fresh, quick, and delicious they don't have a condiments bar anymore but still free sauce. I got the chicken all the way with guacamole.
