Guest JMT Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 i would never eat there anyway.-------------------------------------------------------------Miramar woman claims she found maggots in her fast foodNews partner NBC6 Posted March 1 2005, 11:15 AM EST MIAMI -- A Miramar woman claims she received food infested with maggots from a Pollo Tropical drive-thru, news partner NBC 6 reported Tuesday morning.The woman -- who wanted to be identified only by her first name, Nicole -- said she received the tainted fish and rice from a restaurant at Miramar Parkway and Southwest 148th Avenue.The woman told NBC 6 she did not notice the fly larvae until she had eaten most of the meal. Nicole said she was unable to keep the meal down."What should have been rice was moving ... I ate it all, completely eaten. And they were moving -- maggots -- moving all over," Nicole said.Nicole said she called police and expects the health department to be notified as well."We showed them the maggots, and called the cops, and we asked them (Pollo Tropical) to please don't serve food anymore," Nicole told NBC6.NBC 6 reported Pollo Tropical issued the following statement in response to the woman's accusations: "We just learned of this reported incident and are taking it very seriously. Food quality if of our utmost concern and we will investigate this incident thoroughly." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Euphorikchik Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 GROSS! I eat there every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikepayne Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 I saw this story on the news last night, they showed a close-up video of maggots squirming around on a salad. I almost lost MY dinner, and I haven't eaten Bollo Tropical in a year or so at least...The best part was the horribly grammatically incorrect statement that Pollo Tropical's headquarters released in response to the story. Apparently nobody in the entire corporation speaks English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest klubveteran Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 i would never eat there anyway.-------------------------------------------------------------[NBC 6 reported Pollo Tropical issued the following statement in response to the woman's accusations: "We just learned of this reported incident and are taking it very seriously. Food quality if of our utmost concern and we will investigate this incident thoroughly."That statement is so generic. : Its like page 1 in chapter 1 of any public relations book. every major company has that glued on the office wall and swear to employees to say that "if anything bad happens".1) if its real they are done! 2) if its a ploy to sue (which in this day ill believe it) that sucks. for that owner and investors theyre investment is down the drain. im hoping its not a cheap way to cash in.if its real. damn did they screw up. ouch. :-\no matter what. im sure nobody will eat there to be on the safe side thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
