Pollo Tropical Creamy Curry Mustard Sauce {Copycat Recipe} is a delicious dipping sauce for Fried Yuca and fantastic in egg salad. Low carb and keto too!
Pollo Tropical Creamy Curry Mustard Sauce
In South Florida, there is a chain restaurant called Pollo Tropical, not to be confused with Pollo Loco, in California.
The restaurants are not related, but both use fresh ingredients and cook their chicken, right there in the open. Pollo Tropical is considered a “Caribbean” Fast Food restaurant. Hmmmm…..
My favorite thing on the menu is the Yuca Fries with Curry Mustard Sauce.
Oh my gosh, the sauce is so incredible. The restaurant has a condiment bar in the middle of it and patrons are free to take what they want.
Although they have a Drive-Thru, I always opted to go inside the restaurant to order. Why?
Because then I can load up on the delicious Curry Mustard Sauce.

What are the Ingredients for Curry Mustard Sauce?
- Mayonnaise – use Duke’s, it’s even better
- Yellow Mustard
- Curry Powder
When we moved back to Los Angeles, I made a special trip to Pollo Tropical, just so I could grab some to-go Curry Mustard Sauce.
We drove across the Country in our RV, so I froze containers of the sauce.
When I ran out, well, it just wasn’t pretty. I tried to make the Sauce myself and came very close.
After searching on line, I found a recipe that claimed to be a copycat of my beloved Pollo Tropical Curry Mustard Sauce.
I was thrilled, as I had guessed the ingredients, but not the exact measurements. My Sauce, my sauce!!!!!! Come to me.
Not only is this Pollo Tropical Curry Mustard Sauce terrific on my Air Fryer Yuca Fries, it makes a delicious dipping Sauce for my Air Fryer Pub Style Corned Beef Egg Rolls and is fantastic poured over my Pressure Cooker Spanish Tortilla {Cuban Egg Frittata}.
Mix up all Ingredients
Add all the ingredient to a bowl. This only makes about 4 ounces, so you might want to double the recipe, so you can use it on all kinds of things.
As a sandwich spread, dipping sauce, over a grilled steak, the possibilities are endless.
It’s ridiculous how only a few simple ingredients tastes so wonderful as a sauce.
Whisk Ingredients until Completely Smooth
Use a Whisk and combine the ingredients until the Sauce is very smooth.
Put some muscle into this, to make sure all ingredients are well combined. Or,
Add all Ingredients to Vitamix and Process until Smooth
You can do what I do and pull out my trusty Vitamix and give it a quick whirl.
In just a couple of seconds, you will have the most delicious copycat version of the Pollo Tropical Creamy Curry Mustard Sauce.

Pollo Tropical Creamy Curry Mustard Sauce {Copycat Recipe}
Whoa baby. This is perfect I moved from Florida and miss Pollo so much. I was uncertain about the color and texture when I was making it, but popping it into the fridge before serving really perfected it.
Definitely use the Duke mayo! This recipe is hands down the BEST. THANK YOU!
Thanks, Lee. It is good on so much. Jill
Our family is from FL, but now living in NJ. We ALWAYS make a stop at Pollo Tropical and also CK when we visit (especially because of this sauce for me ;-). So happy to have found this recipe. It’s perfect! Thank you!
So glad you can make the sauce now. Jill
Does Jamaican style curry taste too different ?
Did you try with Jamaican curry? I have that in my cupboard already and would like to use instead of buying something else.
Don’t buy Mayo, it’s not real Mayo, especially not a Light version, that shit will mess with your health! Remember, don’t fear the Fat, fear the Carbs! It’s so easy to make, and it’ll taste 100 times better than any store bought fake version! 🙂
I make something similar but with a touch of honey as the dressing for chicken salad. Yummy
Love, love, love the Pollo Tropical curry mustard too. Sometimes I think I just go there for the sauce. Thanks for concocting a copycat
