I think a Pollo Tropical would make a killing here...with all of us picky, cheap old folks.
Great food (mostly chicken) and almost unreal low prices... for what you get.
Also, the guava pie for dessert...is pretty awesome.

Food: Like I said above, I wasn’t really looking forward to doing a Pollo Tropical review. I constantly hear my friends talking about it and I just couldn’t imagine it being anything special. I mean, it’s just chicken right? Anyways, I thought, fine, let me go and see that it isn’t good and then I can argue with them. When I pulled up, I was surprised at how busy it was. While there wasn’t a line to order, there was a constant flow of people coming in. The staff was keeping up with the flow.
Honestly, when I walked up to the counter to order, I was overwhelmed. If you look at the picture of the menu board you will see it is pretty busy with options but once you order once, you will see how easy it actually is. I went with the TropiChop because it looked like the easiest thing to order. Basically what you do is pick your meat: Chicken, Mojo Roast Pork or Vegetarian. Once you pick that out, then you move on to your preference of type of rice, mashed potato or a lettuce.
Next step: “Top it off” where you add any combination of Black Beans, Red Beans, Kernel Corn, Tomatoes, Peppers and Onions or Sauteed Onions. All this was $5.99 plus another $1.00 for a drink. Once you place your order, head to your table, they bring the food to you fresh from the kitchen. While I was waiting, I filled up the drink and then wandered over to the Salsa Bar and picked out a couple. My favorite: Garlic and Cilantro sauce.
The food arrived promptly and let me just say that after a couple bites I WAS ****ED! You know why? Because it was freaking good! Yeah you heard me right, it was good lol. The chicken was grilled perfectly and the rice was addictive.

There's quite a few locations in the Orlando to Sanford area, but don't think they are any closer to us than that.
