Verdict
Pollo Tropical and Nico's Pizza both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Nico's Pizza's written reviews are positive against 20% of Pollo Tropical's. Nico's Pizza also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Pollo Tropical's advantage is ratings volume (43K vs 4). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
