Rude drive thru employee on 5/31/22 at 12:20p employee ID # 421601. He was rude from the beginning, I had 2 separate orders which he went ahead and total them together. While I was at the window to pay I remind him it was separate orders which he replied you should had told me that from the beginning. He threw the food in 2 separated bags. i had worked near the Alafaya and East Colonial location for approximately 6 years. This is my first and last time wasting my money at this restaurant. Not only the food looked sad, staff had no manners or costumer service skills
Desired outcome: None really don't want my money back. But if Luis hates his job he should quit then
Pollo Tropical - bad service and dirty store
I placed two order of tropical trios. The first order was fries and sweet plantains and the second was fried yuca and corn. The customer that came in after me got his order but that was fine because I know I was next. After waiting about 5 to 7 minutes I noticed that my order was not coming out. The person that was distributing the orders came rushing out from the back room saying "I completely forgot that there were orders to give out". The manager was standing right next to him and did not say a word. When my order came out they forgot my fries and fried yuca. The fries looked terribly cold and saturated with oil. They would make me a fresh order. Well I'm still missing the fried yuca. They suggested to take it to my table. When the fries arrived I asked for my yuca order that was missing. I was told "What yuca? I thought is was just fries." The guy walked away and never came back. After we were half way through eating I realized he never came back. I had to get up from my meal and ask for the fried yuca. The yuca that was presented to me was the most horrible looking, over fried, cold, saturated I've ever seen in Pollo Tropical. The same one that forgot to pass orders was mocking me when said I was not happy with the fried yuca. And again the manager was right there and did not say a word. Before leaving we went to the rest room and to my shock it was dirty and the paper towels dispenser was with paper but not working. That night there hardly was anybody inside the restaurant. I was there at least 45 minutes because I had family with me. The place was a reck. Tables were unclean and the condiments was messy with disguarded item around it. This particular restaurant has changed drastically. It used to be clean and friendly and ready to give great service. The food was awesomely good. That is the only reason I will return but I will not go inside again. Thank you for reading my messege.

NO ME PUSIERON LAS YUCA BITES EN EL PEDIDO.
i called them just to ask 2 questions and the lady hung up on me ... there the rudest people at the gate pkwy location in jacksonville florida
On 2/22/2020 at 11:00 am we purchased a family meal to go. Once served the chicken was completely burnt on the outside and the rice had an EXTREMELY weird taste. This hasn't been the first time with the experience. Only this time it was beyond over board of DISAPPOINTMENT! This location should be taken upon inspection and addressed IMMEDIATELY.
I have been going to this pollo for over 5 years and have never been mistreated the way the employee Pedro treated me I was ordering my food and gave me the worst attitude for no reason and literally told me in my face and another employee to deal with me when I did nothing wrong to this man
Hello,
I am regularly order pollo tropical through door dash and the last three times i have ordered something is missing and it is just frustrating. The first time I ordered there was no sauce, last Sunday the 17th, there was no corn an today the 20th no onions.
1)I am very frustrated and insulted by Pollo Tropical as a very loyal customer because of the manager Sugey's attitude Everytime I go for Lunch.
I have been a loyal customer for years and everyday I go to lunch most of the time 98% at 2390 S University Dr. Fort Lauderdale FL after my gym routine, this lady Sugey, the manager, has a nasty attitude
I am very frustrated and insulted by Pollo Tropical as a very loyal customer because of the manager Sugey's attitude Everytime I go for Lunch.
I have been a loyal customer for years and everyday I go to lunch most of the time 98% at 2390 S University Dr. Fort Lauderdale FL after my gym routine, this lady Sugey, the manager, has a nasty attitude to me because most of the time I use the receipt discount the survey or discount for next order, she makes me feel like I am begging for free food or she is donating it to me and I am tired of that.
Let's go to the facts before doing something smarter, this is the first step, I am using the protocol, because she is the manager I go up and I don't want to talk to that lady and waste my time
1)Everytime I go to Pollo she doesn't greed customers, she is nasty and rude
2) Even employees complain about her nasty attitude, she talks crazy to employees and some of those fear her attitude, some employees know me because I go everyday 7 days a week lunch and dinner, they even know what I want to order and I don't need to speak up and I use to talk to them, I noticed a nasty environment, no professional, rude except this American lady wow I think her name is Gina, she should be the manager, she is polite, educated, treated you very well when customers order and when you come in, make you feel like family, like a loyal customer I am, she is the best, when she takes my order I feel in heaven and have a happy lunch, when Sugey takes my order makes my stomach hurt
3) Most of the times I ordered my lunch and I use a discount because Pollo Tropical gives you discount receipt when you go back and I do as a loyal customer. I didn't know about that until one employee told me one day why you don't use the discounts if you come everyday and I started doing it.
When this lady Sugey takes my order she immediately start making my order without asking and she asks me for my discount receipt with an attitude " Give me your paper.." she doesn't even greet customers politely and make me feel kind of I am doing something bad using these receipts for loyal customers
Today she was too far that's why I am complaining in written and I don't want to come back anymore because of the incompetence of Pollo Tropical to hire unqualified people for that job, if you guys hire or choose a manager they must love interacting with people or at least answer the greeting back, say thank you for choosing Pollo Tropical like this lady Gina etc
Today for the 3rd time she denied me the right to have my receipt. Last week I leave it like that because she is rude and I did not want to be upset for a receipt, and for my lunch, I need it for my taxes because I am a health care professional and these are my expenses
But today she did it again and when I ask for my receipt and my order number she ignored me and she said it is the next one...
I was quiet and mad, I controlled myself and I left it like that because I can not argue an ignorant and unprofessional woman, she missed up my lunch, I grabbed it, and I ate my lunch very frustrated
I have the right to have my receipt as a loyal customer for future discounts
I have the right to have my receipt as a federal law, to have the evidence of what I purchase
I have the right to have my receipt for my taxes because I own a medical franchise and every cent counts on my budget
I have the right to ask for my receipt because I paid for that
This lady think she is treating ignorant people maybe she use to work with I don't know but somebody got to do something about this situation, she can not be leading or running a place like that with this nasty behavior
If you want to verify with cameras take a look I was there today July the 29th between 12:30 to 12:45 I think I don't know I don't have my receipt to prove it but my bank statement proves it anytime but you can take a look, I was coming from gym I was wearing sport clothes, a blue dark cup and glasses, as soon as she turned her back on me without giving me my receipt I knew she was avoiding me to have my receipt again for next discount, that was bad and unrespectful for a customer who pays for his meal
She must give customers the receipt, thank for contributing in this business, wish to enjoy our lunch and inviting us to come back, but she is always with her nasty attitude, I know this lady since she was with a red shirt regular employee and she has this repugnant attitude, customers talk about that, I talk to some people sometimes and they say the same, so maybe you don't care because I am just one person, two orders a day maybe nothing significant but I spoke openly with the right department to stop this situation for future customers, God bless you and I love Pollo Tropical food, taste really good. Of course I am not coming back anymore, lost a customer but at least I let you know how to improve a great business like you guys have Pollo Tropical is a great place to eat but without people like Sugey
Ordered 3 sm. Tropichops and had requested beans on the side and chicken on the side and didnt happen.
