I really miss Pollo Tropical. I love roast pork/chicken with Black beans and rice. I know it isn't top shelf Cuban food but it is great for fast food. How do I petition them to open in Texas?
There is no good Cuban/PR food in Dallas that I know of. |

I don't know - I can drive to the east side and get rotisserie chicken off a trailer any day of the week. All I need to do is speak a bit of Spanish.

There is no good Cuban/PR food in Dallas that I know of. There used to be a great place called Cuba Libre a couple blocks off Central on Henderson, but they closed about two years ago. I've also been looking for good Cuban since, with no success. |

Agreed. Pollo Tropical isn't the best island food, but it's the best fast food! When my wife was in the hospital maternity ward her first demand as a mother was for me to fetch her some dinner and some fried plantains from el pollo tropical. As long as you get it fresh off the grill (not dried out) it can't be beat!

I have eaten there twice this week. For fast food it has to be the best around. Try the roast pork and cover it in curry mustard.

These best value meal in all of Miami. $2.99 gets you a 1/4 chicken, bread, black beans and rice. Throw in a Mango TropiChiller and life is good.

The good thing about Publix in Miami is that you can walk right in and there is a mini cuban restaurant right there. On vacation I frequently would walk in and get a cafe cubano, tostada and a guava and cheese pastry. And I can assure you, the ladies working there are usually Cuban grandmas!!! |

Pollo Campero has three locations in Dallas: one by Love Field, one on Preston just south of PGBT and one near Cockrell Hill. They gave the yucca fries, plantains, black beans, etc. It's frickin' fantastic.

OK, the pictures have done me in...I'm now in the mood for some island food. I'm off to try a PR place I heard about the other day. The guy recommended the Mofongo/Carne Frita. Never had it before so I'm looking forward to the trip out there. If it's a bust, I'll keep going to a Cuban place across the bridge.

Went to Pollo Campero today. Pretty good. Not quite Pollo Tropical but chicken was good, black beans and rice were good and the yucca fries good. So, entirely satisfactory meal for the cost of a large combo meal at some shithole burger joint or KFC. Way better than KFC or Church's
Place was clean and neat. |
