Back in my childhood when we ate at Pollo Tropical for the first time we ordered yucca fries, and I had no idea what yucca was. I bit into them thinking they’d taste like potato, but instead they tasted, you know, like yucca. I was horrified. It was like picking up a glass and expecting to drink water but instead it was Vodka. I swore off Pollo Tropical for so many years.
Then Pollo Tropical got curly fries, and they were good.
Well, apparently they’ve switched over to waffle fries sometime in the past month. Which is fine. A good waffle fry is just as good as a curly fry normally, except, ugh, these waffle fries taste exactly like the curly fries except for some barely detectable seasoning, and I am just not a fan. Not at all. They just make me miss their curly fries. Where am I even gonna get curly fries from now? Ain’t no Arbys near here, and Checkers is only edible when you’re drunk. Why you always gotta fry fuck me, Pollo Tropical?
I know this post is hardly of interest to people outside of urban Florida and certain parts of New Jersey, and even then I know that only white people order fries at the Pollo Tropical. I am just perturbed.
