20 Reasons Why Pollo Tropical Needs To Be In Every State

    This grill is on fiiiire!

    We need to talk about the beauty and wonder of Pollo Tropical.

    1. Their restaurants are like beautiful beacons, calling you to come eat Caribbean-style food.

    2. Let's start things off with the classic: THAT CHICKEN.

    3. And their bread is, like, soft little clouds that fell from heaven onto your plate.

    4. And the plantains. THE PLANTAINS. SO SWEET. SO GOOD.

    5. And please tell me why no one has yet written a love ballad about their yuca fries?

    6. Let's take a minute to ogle this tostón.

    Wait. Let's just pause one sec because this beauty is overwhelming.

    7. Like, do you understand how rare it is to find a chain that makes black beans PROPERLY?

    8. If you're more into red beans, don't you worry. They got you.

    9. Their white rice is always perfection and NEVER dry.

    10. And their yellow rice? *kisses fingertips*

    11. Plus, they basically let you pile everything you love onto one plate.

    12. And they have a sauce for everything.

    13. And those TropiChops? What could be better than a bowl of chopped goodness over rice?

    14. ...And you can load them up with veggies, too!

    15. More of a seafood person? Get. That. Shrimp.

    16. #HotTip: Their food honestly tastes enough like homemade that you can try tricking people into thinking you made it yourself.

    17. And their wraps are basically little bundles of pure deliciousness.

    18. This "Caribbean chicken soup" will cure what ails you (like, for example, hunger).

    19. But... are all that rice and yuca and plantain and chicken and 163 sauces too heavy? That's OK. Their salads are here for you.

    20. ...And that way, you have more room for GUAVA CHEESECAKE.

    Of course, no place is perfect...

    Whatever. Still love ya.
