If you find yourself in Pembroke Pines, Florida, and are craving bold and flavorful chicken, look no further than Pollo Tropical. This vibrant restaurant specializes in Caribbean-inspired chicken cuisine, expertly bringing the island flavors to the mainland. Located at 8299 Pines Blvd, Pembroke Pines, FL 33024, Pollo Tropical isn’t just a place to grab a quick bite; it's a culinary escape that captures the essence of tropical dining.

The menu shines with its standout dish, the Classic TropiChop®, which allows you to customize your meal just the way you like it. Start with a base of fluffy rice paired with their signature beans, topped with your choice of marinated, grilled chicken, crispy chicken, or even the new ropa vieja. Each bite reveals a delightful medley of textures and flavors, perfect for those who appreciate a personalized dining experience.

For those looking to indulge in a hearty bowl, the TropiChop Bowls deliver fresh marinated grilled chicken served atop a generous bed of fluffy white rice and their iconic black beans, crowned with fresh tomatoes, corn, and sautéed onions and peppers. This combination not only feeds the stomach, but also the soul, with vibrant colors and aromatic spices that dance on your palate.

And don't overlook the sandwiches: the BBQ Pork Sandwich brings together mojo-roasted pork with a rich BBQ sauce nestled in a soft brioche bun—a match made in heaven that will have you savoring every bite. For a spice kick, try the Grilled Chipotle Chicken Sandwich, where juicy grilled chicken meets the creamy crunch of chipotle mayo and fresh pickles. Pair it with one of their refreshing drinks for the ultimate meal experience!

Skip the line and order ahead? More like get skipped by the line for ordering ahead. Ordered through the app and my order was supposed to be ready at 1:53 pm- ended up being ready 15 minutes later. The food was good and the workers were friendly enough but this is unacceptable. I can understand up to 5 minutes late. You have to get their attention and ask for your order, otherwise they will not start making it. Please do better! Update: Appreciate the response. Giving you back 1 star. Been coming here for years. Like I said, decent quality of food and the workers are friendly enough. Thank you.
