If you ask me what is my absolute favorite restaurant, without hesitation and with a burning desire I will promptly and proudly say POLLO TROPICAL!!!!!! This amazing Caribbean fast food franchise is a pinnacle of all comfort fast food on the planet. My father in-law, for instance, is a very skeptical man with very complex pallet; he doesn't like most food in general, even a 5 star Japanese sushi restaurant, but the first time I brought him here, right after he sank his teeth in to the delicious Pollo Tropical roasted chicken he exclaimed, "Wow this chicken is absolutely amazing!"

Guava Cheesecake

With no tipping and free wi-fi, cheap price food and the nice ambient atmosphere, what more can you ask for!? Start off with one of the best iced teas ever: Mango iced tea! It is a must! It's very mildly sweet tasting tea that is so refreshing and tasty! Their dessert is no joke: the guava cheesecake is very good!

Their sauces selection is also a star of this restaurant. Guava BBQ sauce is the best BBQ recipe that I've known, and Pineapple rum sauce is absolutely refreshing and tasty. The Cilantro Garlic sauce just gives you that punch that you will want more!

The waffle fries is a number one tastiest fries of all even better than Arby's curly fries! Since the name is Pollo (Chicken) Tropical, of course the chicken is the super star here and it is heavenly awesome! It is so moist, so tender, so full of flavor and the skin is to die for! But wait, the pork and calipso beef are also sensational! The pork is so tender with fat content that melts in your mouth and the beef has been marinated in condensed milk, which makes the beef so tender and tasty. With the kick of fermented red onion to give it extra kick of that sour vinegar, it brings back your pallet to continue your journey on this delicious sensational food!

I can't say enough how much I love this restaurant. If it is my last meal ever, or if there is food crisis, the only restaurant that should remain is Pollo Tropical!

Review: Go Brit!

If you are going to Delaware, you will notice this blue nice-looking facility with a British flag. To be honest, it is very hard to miss. With this eye-catching presentation, I had to try it because of my love for chef Marco Pierre White who's a Brit.

As you can see, everything was decorated like the cliches to make it as British as possible; just look at the door made to look like British telephone booth!

When you get in to this beautifully decorated building, it gives you a feeling like you are in the British diner, which it is the set up like a regular diner, but you order from the counter and they will give you table number and you can sit anywhere you'd like. The number is to help them know which order is for what table.

No need to say much I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. Now here comes the food!

Of course, when dining in the British restaurant, you must order fish&chips, mushy peas and fish pie. I won't speak much of them because to be completely honest it's noting really special, as I gave the flavor 6 out of 10.

So bottom line is that it is worth it to give this place a try for an experience. I know that they really try and they did a good job of creating this place; just don't expect much of the food.
