Ivan greeted every customer with a warm smile and was knowledgeable about the menu, helping me choose the perfect meal. His efficiency and positive attitude truly enhanced my visit. I appreciate great service, and Ivan delivered just that! Highly recommend visiting when he’s on duty!“

“This restaurant is very good. It has many different Peruvian dishes and they are very good for the price and delicious. I always go to this restaurant before I go to my Kung Fu class. Add grilled chicken with fries, rice and beans or lomo saltado. Yely always serves me well and is always friendly.“

“Made my decision to skip big chains and to always support local businesses....

This place is killing it!!! I had the Bro's Bowl spiced to Medium since it's my first visit, but definitely will push the heat level up next time.

Perfectly spiced and cooked chicken tenders, drizzled in creamy ranch with a side of terrific coleslaw and sliced pickles.

You will not be disappointed.“

“A mi me gusta mucho Chick-Fil -A gracias para los que comen ahí muy Agradecida“

“The friendly service and great tasting healthy food is AMAZING 😉“

“Every time I come from Chicago I must stop here! Food always Hot Fresh & Made to Order. The slushies & drinks are a must have with any order. Try the Fried Mac Bites❣️They open on Christmas & Lakia was so sweet taking my order 🤩“

“MUY BUENA 👌 ATENCIÓN RÁPIDO Y LIMPIO“

“Parking here sucked. They blocked off the drop-off area and you are forced to pay for parking on a sketchy side street. I am not sure what people with physical disabilities are supposed to do without blocking traffic to exit their vehicle.

However, I am not sure if/how these spots are being monitored or who is issuing citations.

However, to avoid this problem, stay out of Miami. I would NEVER go there unless absolutely necessary.

Parking: If you, or you have a less than physically fit person in the car, you will not find parking to accommodate you.

Wheelchair accessibility: I did not notice any.“

“good production of getting people through drive thru“

“Muy amables y el pollo delicioso el personal muy atento .“

“Disclaimer: I am not the audience for ordering food and picking it up from a box without interacting with human beings. I'm not there yet. So although I'd heard of Soulfly, I wasn't particularly interested in visiting. Nevertheless, was celebrating my mom's birthday and the birthday girl wanted to come here after our wine tasting next door.

I'm glad the experience was not as impersonal as I anticipated. Partly because I just didn't feel like sticking to the script but also I couldn't get that doggone pickup situation together. LOL I had so many issues with the code to retrieve my order, it was seriously comical. I did observe others come in, put in the code, get the food and go though.

You do have to order on the kiosk but I was able to ask the manager if I could order it like this or that, which he happily made note of for my particular order. There was a little wait for having ordered onsite - things would have felt quicker had I ordered online from offsite then stopped in to pickup when notified the order was ready. I had the wings and cajun rice. Now what surprised me was that chicken! Ok, Soulfly! Very nicely seasoned, good crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. I was impressed considering my expectations. It reminded me of those good chinese takeout chicken wings. Nice surprise. The cajun rice was just okay for me.

The challenges to me coming back are that the price is just high for what you get. I understand there is a cost for "convenience" so it is what it is. However adding $6.54 to the order when I had to do the work to place it then pick it up is.... I don't and won't mind continuing to do things the old school way to pay a more reasonable price for fried chicken in other nearby neighborhoods. Also, no "convenient" parking. I feel like this spot is more geared towards people strolling on the street or for food delivery drivers who will be on a moped only.

Overall for the chicken and helpfulness of the onsite staff, I give it a 3.5, not just a 3.“

“Very disappointed that they have not included one of the most popular sandwiches, chicken salad. It’s a customer favorite at other locations.“

“The food is fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned, especially the rotisserie chicken and lomo saltado. All the staff members are very nice and professional. Isbel is very friendly. I highly recommend this place. I highly recommend this place.“

“Excellent customer service. The food was definitely crispy and tasty. I tried several menu items and was pleased with everything. I would recommend giving them a try. Thank you Crisppi Team, for the amazing hospitality and experience. Keep up the great work.“

“I recommend the place, very nice, the service is incredible, both the cashier and the waitress serve you very well.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yeah“

“The Mexican Corn Salad with grilled chicken was very good. Customer service was excellent.“

“I love this location being close to home but they really need to figure something out with the parking lady out front harassing guests. This chick fil a is legit the only business open in the building on the whole block yet you can’t park for 5 minutes out front to get food. The garage is $8! The city should rezone the parking in front for 15 minutes Max or something. How are business supposed to survive here. They are losing a lot of business. We left today because the parking lady was harassing us. Meanwhile 6 police cars parked out front getting lunch, a city bus parked in the no parking zone to get lunch, 2 usps trucks parked in a no parking zone to get lunch. Are they special? The street is dead! Let the public people get their lunch.“

“A small place with the guaro flavor of graduated chicken, the sauce, the chicken cracklings, everything. Truly a good place to remember the flavor of the best chicken chicharrones, and not to mention the "masjalla" arepitas.

Parking: I went early, I suppose that if all the places around are full it could be very difficult to find a position.

Kid-friendliness: Children's menu“

“My first time here. We were staying a hotel nearby and waiting for our flight. But I don't know if this is a chain restaurant or not but the food was actually pretty good. Especially the pulled pork! That was amazing. Except for that, food didn't seem to be high quality but still pretty good. All the veggies were fresh and good. Service was friendly and really quick except for a mistake on the order. Cleanliness was good. We'd come back if the opportunity arrives and we are in the area again“

“It could easily be the best Venezuelan Rotisserie Chicken in town. Flavor will take you back home. Great costumer service. Recommended 100%.“

Vegetarian options: None

Dietary restrictions: None

“We love Krispy Kruncy Chicken! This location has halal meat (certification displayed!) which is wonderful. We love their chicken tenders and biscuits. The location is not traditional inside a gas station, however it's well worth the fantastic flavorful chicken.“

“Wow, I went during my lunch break, and the line moved so quickly. They had everyone’s order ready by the time they got to the window. They put utensils, napkins, and sauces in the bag. The food was fresh and the sauces were actually filled up not half empty. I was blown away!“

“I stopped by to leave you my reviews and it really is the best tropical chicken in all of Miami. I came almost at closing time and the food had the same quality as if I had come in the morning. They really are the best. The service is a 100 and the quality of the food is amazing. I recommend it. You won't regret it. It is the best place in all of Miami.“

“I love Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen very much and the people here are very nice and I will come back again very soon.“

“I recently visited the KFC in Miami Lakes and had a fantastic experience, thanks to the amazing service provided by Mandy. From the moment I walked in, Mandy greeted me with a warm smile and made sure I felt welcomed and comfortable.Her professionalism and attentiveness were truly noteworthy. Mandy took the time to answer my questions about the menu, ensuring I made the right choices for my meal. She displayed exceptional knowledge about the items, making recommendations that exceeded my expectations.Not only was Mandy efficient and quick in taking my order, but she also made sure I received my food promptly. Her attention to detail ensured that my order was accurate and perfectly prepared. Throughout my visit,“

Kid-friendliness: Varied menu, excellent quality and good service, very attentive, thank you.“

“The Hot Honey Chicken is a hit!!!“

“We were shopping in dolphin mall and this place looked pretty good and clean . We ordered one half chicken meal with extra rice and chorizo . Man this was a lot of food for $22. Chicken was flavorful and chorizo was good. Cooked veggies were not bad as well. For the price and amount of good you get , we will come back. Just a little annoying to get a clean table in the food court .“

“This is my meeting point for everything, a celebration, an anniversary, a lunch, whatever... I always go to Pollo Tropica, I love the mini-doses of pasta that they include in your orders!!!! And I highly recommend the dulce de 4 leches, a delight ?. I wish they would give promotions on food and drinks from time to time. I recommend diversifying the drinks, making smoothies would not be a bad option ? Definitely to visit“

“The food is good but the people is a different story, I when to purchase a 14 piece meal for my kids and my self. and I was doing a favor for a friend, since I was going for my self, as he asked me to buy for her a 5 piece meal, everything was OK until a lady came to the register ( think it was the manager) I was using a coupon for each of the meals, I explained to her that one was for my home and the other one was for a friend but she kept saying I only can used one, again I explained that it was not for me the small meal why I'm going to get a 5 piece of I already was getting 14 pieces. just make to separate orders, but this small minded woman keep repeating her self that I can't, if my friend was there she still will have to do a second order... So no I will not recommend the location on 54st Northwest between 12th and 11th Avenue. they are rude and unprofessional... The old manager, was a kind an friendly lady. Train your management more than your cashiers... Their title goes over the heads. I'm going to Boston Market... even Popeyes is better...“

“All KFC will give you better service than to the rest of fast food places in my area. This franchise might be the only one where the employees actually listen to the customer, 98% accuracy. So far, good grilled chiken and I love their cole slaw.Decent.“

“I love the churches chicken. Thank you for blessings my mom, myself, my husband and our children plus more with this food. Continue to provide exceptional food service and customer service for everyone. The good was great all my children will have a perfect church as well. Thank you again.“

“Food is still the same old school of breaded seared chicken. Best feature? They use real chicken. We found KFC's offers to be too salty. Fries are extremely salty. Chicken is salty as well but gets disguised by the breaded spices mix. The staff is excellent ?. The environment is very cozy and quiet. Kids have a great time here even though they also complain about the salty food.

Vegetarian options: Limited options

Parking: Limited parking spots on busy days“

“Pollo Tropical is like a small vacation. Their grilled chicken is simply delicious and the sauces are finger licking good. Plus, the atmosphere makes you feel like you're on a beach. It's a great place to enjoy without leaving the city!“

“This was my first time trying Honduran food and I was pleasantly surprised ..I ordered the pollo frito ceibeño ( fried chicken) wow the flavors are amazing and the overall seasoning of the chicken was the right balance of salty and crunchy , also have to mention the Service was top notch I don’t speak Spanish and they were very helpful in the ordering process…. Lastly the price point is definitely affordable for anyone…this will be one of my go too restaurants here in Miami ..5 Stars“

“Dulce was very kind and understanding employee, as she took my order she let me know that they had run out French fries, she apologized and quickly offered other side options. The food was hot and fresh. But I was blown away by the service. Thank you for having such kind employees.“

“I definitely don't understand what's going on at the Tropical Chicken branch on 8th Little Havana. I constantly buy the Family Duo, with pork, and it's been approximately 2 months since the container of pork is practically 3/4 full and today it's gone. I bought it again, the container of beans was practically broth, they are reducing the portions a lot, I don't know if it is by order of the manager of the establishment or it is the employees who serve smaller and smaller portions, in addition to not giving out the burnt ripe ones, that is a constant in that branch, I buy it because it gets me out of trouble by not having time to cook, but they already leave a lot to be desired. Small portions, burnt ripe fruits!!!!!!“

“Food: Super delicious, for fast food it was surprising, this is the best tropical chicken I have ever eaten. The cilantro and BBQ sauce gave the chicken a very rich flavor. The food is quite fresh and flavorful.

Service: Pretty fast workers, that's admirable. To be full they covered all the orders

Atmosphere: very dirty - most of the tables were uncleaned

Extra: you will have problems parking, parking is limited by the hotel across the street, I recommend coming here if you are hungry and want something quick and delicious. In case it's close to you“

“Looks good“

“Yo como en ese restaurante todo los días ni una sola vez he tenido un problema leo estos reviews y da asco como el ser humano es tan cruel son personas que nos dan de comer una cantidad increíbles de clientes si puede aver un error pero no para que critiquen de esa manera donde está la humanidad de este mundo gracias pollo tropical y todo los empleados por servirme el plato de comida que como a diario en su restaurante“

“Stick to your bones and healthy as well. Great price.“

“Wheelchair accessibility: This is honestly one of the few places I have been with a "clear route for disabled people like myself and it's actually nice to have to wonder around an establishment having people just staring at me instead of offering to "help/assist" me“

“i eat here all the time. the food is great and the staff is super friendly. i’m not sure about all of the one star reviews, but my experience has always been pleasant.

Vegetarian options: you can go full vegan here.

Parking: it’s a strip mall, there’s plenty of parking“

“Amazing service by Connie, They were able to help me with an issue with a previous order that Kfc customer support wasn’t able to help me with. They were very nice and respectful and resolved the issue quickly. The food was amazing also! Thank you Connie !“

“I stopped here because police were routing traffic into their parking lot and drive thru around an accident. I ended up getting stranded in the parking lot. The manager was nice enough to let me just roll through the drive thru, so I decided to at least buy a Chocolate Cookie Cake. Just wanted to show my thanks for letting me use the drive through to get around the accident.“
