Verdict
Pollo Tropical and La Differance both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of La Differance's written reviews are positive against 20% of Pollo Tropical's. La Differance 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 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
