It was a pretty easy going interview. I was a student at the time with little hospitality experience. Everyone was welcoming for the most part. Questions revolved around my availability and overall work experience. You don’t need to know Spanish but it can be helpful.

The hiring process is pretty quick. You grab an application, fill it out, and hand it back in. They'll likely call you in a few days, you go in, and they just ask you some basic, typical questions. If you seem like a good fit, you'll start working a few days after that. They might ask if you know about Pollo Tropical's history, but it's not a huge deal if you don't know they started in Florida.

applied online through snagajob, got a voicemail message within a couple of days asking if i was interested, called back... spoke with the assistant manager and said i was. after that then went in for the interview, and was asked basic interview questions, talked about their "promotion process", asked my availability, was told what my starting wage would be, then was hired, and scheduled for an orientation.
