Delicious food nice and cozy restaurant. Service was ok. I would go back again. I had the oxtail and it was so delicious and tender. And the raspberry cheese cake was really good.

Delicious food here! (I personally like their treats better than the local competition.) I enjoy the spicy chicken, spinach & the guava empanadas ones too.

The sandwich and fruit tarts were delicious.
The meat was very tender in the sandwich and the fruit was fresh for the tart. the staff were very pleasant and kind. overall good experience here. I came for lunch time so it wasn’t packed and we were seated quickly

Very welcoming staff. Friendly and ready to serve. As soon as I parked my car one of the staff was walking by and said welcome. I was waiting for my cousin and decided to order a pumpkin latte. I recommend that if you like pumpkin. Delicious 😋 served freshly made and hot. The meals also were freshly made. Hot and tasty. Really enjoyed our time and the obveonce. We went for breakfast. They are a bakery and they have crocettes and so much more. They can compete with the other bigger chain.

During my recent visits to Tropicana, I was consistently impressed by both the quality of the food and the welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the Pollo Frits, which came with black beans, rice, and plantains, as well as a chicken tamale and arroz con pollo. Every dish was flavorful, well-seasoned, and prepared with clear attention to tradition and freshness.
The Pollo Frits stood out for its crisp texture and juicy interior, while the sides — especially the plantains — complemented the entrée perfectly. The chicken tamale was tender and balanced, and the arroz con pollo delivered rich, comforting flavors that showcased the kitchen’s skill.
The restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere, paired with great customer service. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Prices are also very reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes.
One detail worth noting: I returned for a second visit to see if the food was consistently good — and it absolutely was. The same flavors, the same quality, and the same warm service reinforced that Tropicana is reliably excellent.
Overall, Tropicana delivers an authentic, flavorful dining experience with dependable quality, friendly service, and great value. Highly recommended.
