Pollo Tropical - Plantation

This restaurant review is the most enthusiastic one I've ever written for a place that isn't exclusively vegetarian, but here we go. This place has the best fast food. The vegan packaging is amazing: delicate Beyond Meat, sweet plantains, rice, and beans. It's simple, but incredibly delicious! I could probably eat this for 5 days straight and not get tired of it. But it's fast food, so probably not a good idea to do that! The Beyond Meat bowl is also good, but I've always been a fan of just the veggie options, so the Beyond Meat bowl wasn't as innovative or exciting for me as the perfect combo that now occupies my heart. Honestly, this place has always been great for finding vegan food, even before they added meat items to the menu. It's really exciting to see their efforts to make it even more vegan-friendly. Pro tip for the tropical bowls: instead of using the sauce, ask for a side of balsamic tomatoes to add to your bowl – perfection!

The waffle fries are fantastic! The vegan tropichop was quite delicious. However, there was too much sauce for my liking, causing the bowl to become a bit soggy. The Beyond Meat dish was flavorful and perfectly cooked.

The vegan options are back on the menu. This review has been updated as of November 12, 2020.

The vegan beyond wrap has made a return to the menu. This is an updated version of a previous review from November 12, 2020.

This review is going to be the most enthusiastic review about a place that isn’t even exclusively vegetarian, but here we go... THE BEST FAST FOOD. The vegan wrap is OBSESSION WORTHY: beyond meat crumble, sweet plantains, rice, and beans. So simple but so ridiculously delicious! I could probably eat this 5 days in a row and not be sick of it... but it’s fast food so yeahhh probably shouldn’t do that! The beyond meat bowl is also good, but I have always been a fan of just veggie bowls, so the beyond meat bowl wasn’t as innovative or exciting to me as the holy wrap that now occupies my heart. Honestly, this has always been a great place to find vegan food, even before they added beyond meat to the menu. It’s definitely very exciting to see their efforts to make it even more vegan friendly, though. Pro tip for the tropichop bowls: instead of adding sauce, get a side of the balsamic tomatoes and add that to your bowl—delish!
