Pollo Tropical

Every time I fly into the States for business, my first stop is Pollo Tropical. I dream of the delicious Grilled Chicken.

Pollo Tropical is the local fast food in Puerto Rico, but you can also find it in FL.

Of course I was in Puerto Rico and wanted to try local food, but since we didn't have much time, Francisco suggested me to go to the local fast food restaurant, hehe.

They serve grilled chicken but the highlights are the sides. You get the traditional sides, which is cool! Francisco got the traditional "arroz con habichuelas" (rice and beans) and we both got the "tostones" (fried green plantain), but you can also get "amarillos" (fried sweet plantain) fried yuca, among others. They also serve pork and beef.

As all the chains, this is self service and they keep the restaurant clean. Staff was friendly and patient. I couldn't decide what to get, haha. Well, I'm sure this is not the real PR food, but if you are in a hurry and want a taste of it. This is a good option.
