Title: Restaurant Review: Pollo Tropical
Post by: Brian Fein on March 28, 2006, 01:24:54 pm
Restaurant: Pollo Tropical

Genre: Fast food

Specialty: grilled chicken and other island favorites

Rating: Horrible

Comments: I had black-listed Pollo a while ago, because they had very little variety and were overpriced for the amount of food.  Then, they underwent some changes, added items to the menu, and I gave them a shot again.

As soon as I consider making Pollo a regular in the lunchtime rotation, they go and put themselves right back on the black list.  Today, I ordered a Tropichop combo with Plantains.  $5.39 - reasonable price.  The Tropichop is delivered to me with 1 small scoop of rice and half of a half of a chicken breast chopped up.  Literally, not even enough food to fully cover the bottom of the bowl it was served in.

I will never go to Pollo again.

Actually, their stuff isn't bad.  I always get the same thing.   1/2 chicken all dark meat with rice, black beans, and balsamic tomatoes.

it's the V8 rule brian

you forget after a while how gross V8 is and you only have to drink 1 can to remember and not drink one for another 8 months when you forget how gross it is again

You should call them and ask them where the rest of your food is.

I asked the guy at the counter when he gave it to me...

Me: "that's all I get?"

Guy:  "That's what you ordered...."

Me: "no, i ordered lunch, here's my reciept.  This is an appetizer...."::)

1/4 chicken value meal all white.  I control the amount of chicken I get.  I've taken to calling Pollo Tropical "rice tropical and Chicken Kitchen "rice kicthen" because they rob you so badly on the chicken and give you nothing but rice. 

Fau, V-8 is awesome!  Especially when spiked with a little lime and tabasco sauce...mmmmmm.....

I'm guessing that tomatoes are nowhere near the top of your favorite veggies list then...  ::)

I love tomatoes but for some reason, V8 is nasty.  The only time you'll ever see me drinking that stuff is the morning after a long night of drinking.

Perfect hangover cure- Red Draw

One can of tomato juice or V8 mixed with a bottle of Budweiser.  Tastes like shit but it does the job very quickly.
