Like the McDonalds of Caribbean cuisine, this fast-food chain is best known for its marinated chicken on the grill.. In Short
Diners sit at rattan tables and dig into traditional Latin foods at this eatery awash in pastels. Order up front, then eat-in or take out fast food made a little bit slower--but a lot more healthy and just as inexpensive. The menu's signature TropiChops, with pulled pork, shredded beef or grilled chicken atop rice, beans and vegetables, are a steal. Family meals packed with whole chickens, ribs and more, also offer more bang for the buck. Don't pass up the condiment bar, stocked with chopped onions, fresh salsa and a curry mustard that perfectly pairs with a side of fried yuca. Additional extras include sweet plantains, crispy tostones, tangy balsamic tomatoes and traditional rice and beans.

not sure bout this place. I ate here on Dec 20, 2007 & less than 48 hrs later I had severely sick(vomitting,diarrhea,nautia). I'm almost certain it was from this Pollo Tropical on OBT. I've only eaten @ Pollo Tropical once before and that was in Tampa. This visit I ordered a steak&shrimp combo meal. I never got sick like I did the weekend after possibly eating here. I'd be cautious about how the food is handled/prepared here
