After a long days work in our own food truck, my wife and I were so happy to see that Pollo Tropiko was open on a Monday. The owners Ed and Jazelle are absolutely awesome. Very welcoming, easy to talk to and sincerely happy to be a part of the SML community. We had the chicken Fresh Bowl and the Birria sandwich. Both were delicious and full of flavor. The presentation was appealing, portion size great, even for a big guy like myself. Also tried their new desserts and refreshers. Everything was amazing. All this for a very a reasonable price. We look forward to trying more of the menu!!!

5 stars – 10/10 Must-Try at Smith Mountain Lake!
Ordered the bureau burrito and it was stellar, juicy, and packed with flavor.
The complimentary white bean soup was to die for—creamy and perfectly seasoned. The salsa was stellar with the ideal kick.
What stood out most: the wife and husband owners are so nice and welcoming—you instantly feel like family.
Pollo Tropiko is a true gem. Can’t wait to return!

The food was awesome.
I got the El carbon tacos and my mom got the cheese steak tacos. Both were really good. The atmosphere is nice, simple, and refreshing. The service was fast and pleasant. I would come here again. Prices are definitely worth the food.

The birria sandwich was amazing, would 100% get it again 5/5, the ramen was not my favorite, I actually found it a bit flavorless and was sad about it but the sandwich made up for it! Service was also amazing.

Food was very fresh and flavorful, the chicken wings were very tender. I ordered the tacos al carbon, and my sister tried the tacos de birria and are definitely the best tasting around. They also have fresh Mexican aguas frescas, the Jamaica is a must try! Will be back

Pollo tropiko is a great addition to the west lake area! The food is phenomenal. Good fresh and fast. They do an amazing job from the moment you walk in with both dining room and takeout options! Would highly recommend.

5 Stars. You can smell the food cooking from the outside…… wow mouth watering! Great customer service as soon as you walk in. Carne asada tacos were delicious and tender. Lots of choices, build-a-box to-go with fresh roasted whole chicken (Pollo Al Carbon ) rice, beans, pasta salad…. Pollo Tropiko is a wonderful addition to the westlake area.

The owners are so friendly and go the extra step to ensure the utmost dining experience. The food is exceptional! It is flavorful and healthy. We had the charcoal chicken bowl and the chicken tacos. The charro beans and bean soup are also superb as well. I’m glad to have a healthy restaurant alternative at SML.
